WHERE TO START

The first step: a comprehensive eye examination

A comprehensive eye examination is more than measuring your glasses prescription. Visual acuity, refractive errors, the anterior segment of the eye, intraocular pressure and, when needed, a dilated fundus examination are evaluated together. Additional imaging or tests may be planned depending on the patient's age, existing conditions and complaints.

Regular examinations can help detect early problems that may progress without symptoms, such as glaucoma, diabetes-related retinal changes and macular degeneration. The interval between checkups is not the same for everyone; it is set according to the examination findings and personal risks.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I have an eye examination?

The interval between checkups depends on age, existing eye diseases, systemic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and family history. The interval that is right for you is determined after an examination.

Is a cataract painful?

A cataract usually does not cause pain, burning or stinging. The most common symptom is reduced and blurred vision; faded colors and glare from lights may also occur.

Can a cataract be treated with eye drops?

There is no proven eye drop treatment that removes a cataract. The treatment for a cataract that affects vision and daily life is surgery.

Is every eye suitable for laser?

No. Eligibility cannot be decided without evaluating, in addition to the eye's prescription, the structure of the cornea, whether the prescription has stopped progressing, the ocular surface and retinal findings.

Can diabetes affect my eyes without causing symptoms?

Yes. Diabetes-related retinal changes can progress at first without reducing vision. For this reason, having an examination only when complaints appear is not enough. People with diabetes should have examinations at regular intervals, even if they have no complaints.

If my eye pressure is normal, does that mean I cannot have glaucoma?

The assessment of glaucoma is not based on a single intraocular pressure measurement alone. Optic nerve, corneal thickness, visual field and OCT findings are interpreted together.

Are new flashes of light and floaters important?

Especially if they started suddenly, have increased in number or are accompanied by a curtain-like shadow in the visual field, they should be evaluated for a retinal tear without delay.

Can I reuse eye drops that helped me before?

The same symptom can be caused by different diseases. It is not right to use old eye drops, or drops belonging to someone else, without a doctor's advice.

Can a child have an eye examination before learning to read?

Yes. Children's vision can be assessed with age-appropriate methods; there is no need to wait for a child to learn to read before an examination.

Does screen use permanently damage the eyes?

Daily screen use can cause dryness, stinging and temporary blurring because we blink less. Taking regular breaks and using a suitable viewing distance and room lighting helps reduce complaints.
