Prof. Dr. Ayşe Öner – Retina and Eye Diseases Specialist

Dr. Ayşe Öner is a highly experienced ophthalmologist and microsurgeon internationally recognized in neuro-ophthalmology, inherited retinal diseases (such as retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease), macular degeneration, advanced cataract surgery, and ocular trauma. Our clinic specializes in advanced diagnostic and treatment approaches, including cellular-level diagnostics, genetic therapy guidance, and neuro-visual rehabilitation (Biofeedback, Magnovision, Okuvision), which are available in only a limited number of centers worldwide.

The process is simple and convenient. You can contact us via our website form or through our international patient support line (WhatsApp/phone). If you share your existing eye examinations (such as OCT, visual field tests) or genetic reports, our medical team will review them together with Dr. Ayşe Öner. A personalized diagnosis and treatment roadmap will be prepared and presented to you in your native language before you travel to Turkey.

Not at all. One of the biggest concerns for international patients—language barriers—is completely eliminated through our VIP service system. From airport arrival to all examinations, tests, and treatments, our professional medical coordinators, fluent in your native language, will assist you throughout the entire process.

No. We operate with a “zero waiting time” principle for international patients. Since all advanced diagnostic devices are available within our clinic, your full evaluation can be completed on the same day, and your treatment plan will be finalized without delay.

Absolutely. Many of our international patients visit us specifically for diagnostic purposes, especially in complex cases such as genetic eye diseases, optic neuropathies, or conditions that are difficult to diagnose. Using advanced diagnostic technologies, we provide a detailed and scientifically based evaluation of your condition.

Yes. We offer a comprehensive VIP medical tourism service. Once your travel is confirmed, all logistics are arranged for you. You will be welcomed at the airport with private transfer services, and your accommodation will be organized in carefully selected partner hotels that meet high standards of comfort and safety.

The duration depends on your specific condition and treatment plan:

• Same-day or short stay: Check-ups, injections, laser treatments, cataract or smart lens surgeries
• 1–2 weeks: Rehabilitation-based or session-based treatments

The exact duration will be clearly outlined in your personalized treatment plan.

In most cases, yes. Flights are safe after procedures such as injections, laser treatments, or cataract surgery. However, if gas is used during retinal surgery (vitrectomy), flying is not recommended for approximately 2–6 weeks due to cabin pressure. This will be clearly explained to you in advance.

Bringing your previous medical records—such as OCT scans, visual field tests, angiography results, genetic test reports, and a list of medications you are currently using—will significantly speed up the diagnostic process.

Your treatment does not end when you leave Turkey. Through our remote follow-up system, you can share your ongoing test results from your home country with us. Dr. Ayşe Öner will review your progress and guide your treatment remotely, ensuring continuous care beyond borders.
