Ümit Aykan
Ophtalmologist, Eye surgery specialist
Dr. Ümit Aykan is an experienced eye specialist. He focuses on diagnosing and treating cataracts, glaucoma, and related eye conditions. He uses advanced methods, such as Multidiode laser therapy for glaucoma and multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery. These techniques help improve patient results and reduce risks.
Dr. Aykan has over 30 years of clinical experience. He is a professor and holds several accreditations, including Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO). He is an active member of top ophthalmology societies. He has also trained internationally, including at the Glaucoma Research and Education Group in San Francisco.
Prof. Dr. Aykan emphasizes the importance of regular eye examinations for early detection of glaucoma, a condition that can progress without symptoms and cause irreversible damage. He utilizes multidiode laser treatments to effectively manage glaucoma, minimizing infection risks and eliminating the need for direct eye intervention, which is particularly advantageous for patients who cannot use medication.
