Corneal Diseases

The cornea is the outermost layer of the eye and is vital for vision function. Diseases of the cornea can lead to vision loss and serious eye problems. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are extremely important. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu, an ophthalmologist specializing in the treatment of corneal diseases, serves her patients with modern techniques and personalized approaches.

Symptoms of Corneal Diseases

Symptoms of corneal diseases vary depending on the type and severity of the disease. Common symptoms include:

• Blurred or decreased vision
• Redness and pain in the eye
• Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
• Foreign body sensation in the eye
• Watery or discharge from the eyes

When these symptoms are noticed, an ophthalmologist should be consulted without delay.

Diagnosis of Corneal Diseases

A comprehensive eye examination is necessary to diagnose corneal diseases. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu uses the latest technological devices and tests in the diagnosis of corneal diseases. These tests include:

• Visual acuity test
• Corneal topography (mapping of the cornea)
• Eye pressure measurement
• Biomicroscopy (eye examination under a microscope)

Treatment Methods for Corneal Diseases

• Drug Therapy: The first step in treating corneal diseases is usually drug therapy. Antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and steroid drops are often used. These drugs are effective in controlling infection and reducing inflammation.
• Contact Lenses: Specially designed contact lenses can be used to treat some corneal diseases. These lenses protect the cornea and aid in the healing process.
• Surgical intervention: Advanced corneal diseases may require surgical intervention. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu achieves successful results with modern surgical methods such as keratoplasty (corneal transplantation), corneal rings and laser treatment.
• Corneal Cross-Linking: This method, which is used especially in the treatment of corneal ectasia diseases such as keratoconus, hardens the cornea and stops the progression of the disease.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Each patient's condition is different in the treatment of corneal diseases. For this reason, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kübra Şerefoğlu offers personalized treatment plans to her patients. The most appropriate treatment method is determined by considering the patient's general health status, severity of the disease and lifestyle.
