Mustafa TASELI, MDMedical Education and Specialty:1990-1993 Istanbul Haydarpasa Numune Traınıng and Research Hospıtal, Istanbul, Ophthalmology1983-1989 Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye1980-1983 Turkish Lycee, Nicosia, CyprusProfessional Career1993 – 2000 Prıvate Hospitals, Istanbul, Turkey2000 – Dr Taseli Eye Clinic, Nicosia, Cyprus2017 – Near East University Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Nicosia, CyprusProfessional Experience/Performance DetailsMustafa TASELI, MD; He gained fame by operations in the field of; Pediatric Ophthalmology, and AdultStrabismus, Contact Lens, Retinal Diseases, Eye Blood Pressure (Glaucoma), Refractive Surgery (ExcimerLaser), Macular Diseases, and Surgery, Oculuplasty, and Reconstructive Surgery, Uveitis, Cataract, andDiabetic Retinopathy.- More than 3.000 Laser Cataract Surgery – FAKO (Phacoemulsification)Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified withan ultrasonic handpiece, and aspirated from the eye.- More than 1.000 LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), PRK, and Smile LaserLASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery or laser visioncorrection, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a type of refractive surgery to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia(farsightedness), and astigmatism. Like LASIK and other types of laser eye surgery, PRK works by reshaping thecornea using an excimer laser, allowing light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for clearvision.SMILE is considered the most significant advance in laser eye surgery technology in over 10 years. It combinesthe safety of traditional vision correction techniques with even greater comfort and potentially greater precision.- More than 1.000 Refractive Lens Exchange (lens replacement surgery)Refractive lens exchange typically is for people with presbyopia or extreme farsightedness, for whom LASIK,PRK or phakic IOL surgery generally are not suitable. Lens replacement surgery also cancorrect myopia (nearsightedness), but generally it is not recommended when LASIK, PRK or phakic IOLs areavailable.An intraocular lens (IOL) implant is an artificial replacement for the lens of your eye. It's part of the surgery tofix cataracts.Monofocal IOL: This is the most common. Unlike your natural lens, which can stretch or bend to helpyour eye focus, this implant stays focused at one fixed distance. If yours focuses at a distance, you might be ableto see things far away but need glasses to read or see close up. Multifocal implant: Like glasses with bifocal or progressive lenses, this lens has areas that help you see things atdifferent distances. It could take several months for your brain to adapt so your vision seems natural.Accommodating IOL: This flexible option acts more like your natural lens and focuses at more than onedistance. It makes you less likely to need reading glasses.- More than 200 Vitrectomy SurgeryVitrectomy is a type of eye surgery used to treat problems of the eye’s retina and vitreous. In this surgery, anophthalmologist may: remove blood or other substance keeping light from focusing properly on the retina remove scar tissue that is wrinkling or tearing the retina and causing poor vision help repair a retina that has detached (pulled away) from the eye wall remove a foreign object stuck inside the eye from an injury- More than 200 Strabismus surgeryStrabismus surgery (also: extraocular muscle surgery, eye muscle surgery, or eye alignment surgery) is surgery onthe extraocular muscles to correct strabismus, the misalignment of the eyes.- More than 200 Glaucoma surgeryGlaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterizedby raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of thosesurgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a fewthat lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous.- More than 200 Pterygium surgeryA pterygium is a pinkish, triangular tissue growth on the cornea of the eye. It typically starts on the cornea nearthe nose. It may slowly grow but rarely grows so large that the pupil is covered. Often both eyes are involved.Scientific Events/Certificates- 2001 | XIII Congress of the European Society of Ophthalmology, Turkey- 2016 | 16th European Society of Retina Specialists Congress (EURETINA), Denmark- 2011 | 11th EURETINA Congress London, UK- 2005 | International Congress of the Hellenic Society of Intraocular Implant & Refractive Surgery- 2009 | American Academy of Ophthalmology, California- 2007 | Certificate of Attendance the European Society of Cataract Refractive Surgery, Sweeden- 2005 | Certificate of Attendance the European Society of Cataract Refractive Surgery, Portugal Memberships2019.....Cyprus Turkish Ophthalmology Association, President2000.....Cyprus Medical Association.2000......ESCRS AND EURETINA member
