Eye infection

On January 21, we took my son to Onur Polat. He prescribed drops and sent us home. My son had an eye infection. The next day, the eye condition worsened, and it completely closed.
When we came to him again, he said that my son should be examined by an otolaryngologist and did not make any suggestions himself. He only said that he wanted him to be examined there and referred us further.
After that, we took my son to his pediatrician. Seeing the child's condition, the doctor said that the situation was very serious and dangerous. We were immediately hospitalized. We spent two days in the hospital for treatment, and, thank God, the eye recovered.
It's a pity that we were not immediately correctly guided and could not start treatment in a timely manner. In such a risky situation, we wasted time for nothing.

Laser vision correction

I have been wearing glasses since I was 4.5 years old, and for the last two years, I have been using contact lenses. When I came for an examination, Dr. Onur performed the necessary tests and said that my eyes were suitable for laser vision correction. Encouraged by this, I decided to have the surgery.
Before, during, and after the surgery, he was very attentive. I even thought, “Why didn't I do this sooner?” I hope there will be more doctors like Onur Polat.

Astigmatism, cataract

When we were looking for an alternative to glasses for my wife due to astigmatism, after searching in Bursa, we turned to Onur Polat. I think we were very lucky to meet him and contact him immediately.
His professionalism, human attitude, detailed attention to the patient, and thorough support at all stages of treatment are all excellent. Thanks to laser surgery, my wife got rid of glasses, and now it has been three months – thank God, we have no complaints.
Last month, we also contacted Dr. Onur regarding my mother's cataract. He performed cataract surgery on her and also implanted a lens, thanks to which she was able to get rid of glasses with very high correction – about 8–9 diopters.
I am infinitely grateful to Dr. Onur for helping both my wife and my mother. I wholeheartedly recommend Onur Polat to all my acquaintances who have vision problems. I wish him many years of success in his professional activity.

LASIK — Laser Vision Correction

Based on online reviews, I made an appointment with our doctor Onur Polat and underwent an examination. I had myopia and astigmatism in both eyes, and my vision readings were very high.
Following the doctor's recommendation, I had LASIK surgery and now I see very well without glasses. He is a very friendly and experienced doctor. He explained everything to us in detail, leaving no questions unanswered. Many thanks to him.

Glaucoma and Cataract

Dear Dr. Onur POLAT, I met you when I came for a routine eye exam and glasses fitting, but you diagnosed me with glaucoma. Thanks to early diagnosis, I continue my treatment with medication.
You have been my ophthalmologist for over two years, and I trust you with my eyes. I fully follow your recommendations, and you have never given me reason to doubt myself. You tell me about the pros and cons, you listen to me, and we have no communication problems, so I make decisions based on your explanations, and everything happens exactly as you say.
You monitor my glaucoma and also performed my cataract surgery. May Allah grant healing to all who need it, and may our doctor continue to achieve success.

Laser Vision Correction

On September 12, I came for a follow-up examination with Dr. Onur Polat, who works at Dünya Göz Hastanesi. He thoroughly conducted and reviewed all necessary examinations. It is clear that he loves his work, is very friendly, and is knowledgeable in his field.
Two days later, I decided to have laser surgery. The surgery lasted only 10 minutes, after which I felt only a slight burning sensation for 2–3 hours. The very next day, I calmly went to work.
I regularly used the prescribed drops, and after a week, I felt as if I hadn't had surgery at all. I had used contact lenses for over 15 years and only after the surgery did I realize how truly unclear my vision had been before.
Two months have passed since the surgery, and I have had no dryness or blurred vision. I feel like I've been reborn. I wholeheartedly recommend my dear doctor Onur Polat.

This week, we quickly checked online reviews and booked an appointment for my mother with Dr. Onur Polat. He made a very good impression on us—both with his kindness and pleasant manner of communication, and with his professional knowledge.
Moreover, the vision measurement, which was previously determined incorrectly and according to which I was prescribed a prescription, was corrected thanks to Dr. Onur. He has now become our family doctor.

The doctor is extremely attentive. He conducts the examination thoroughly and unhurriedly and does not discharge the patient until he is completely sure that their eye health is in order. This inspires great confidence.
