Assoc. Prof. Dr. K\u00fcbra \u015eerefo\u011flu uses the latest technological devices and tests in the diagnosis of corneal diseases. These tests include:<\/p><ul><li>Visual acuity test<\/li><li>Corneal topography (mapping of the cornea)<\/li><li>Eye pressure measurement<\/li><li>Biomicroscopy (eye examination under a microscope)<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Treatment Methods for Corneal Diseases<\/h4><ul><li><strong>Drug Therapy:<\/strong> 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.<\/li><li><strong>Contact Lenses:<\/strong> Specially designed contact lenses can be used to treat some corneal diseases. These lenses protect the cornea and aid in the healing process.<\/li><li><strong>Surgical intervention:<\/strong> Advanced corneal diseases may require surgical intervention. Assoc. Prof. Dr. K\u00fcbra \u015eerefo\u011flu achieves successful results with modern surgical methods such as keratoplasty (corneal transplantation), corneal rings and laser treatment.<\/li><li><strong>Corneal Cross-Linking:<\/strong> 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.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Personalized Treatment Plans<\/h3><p>Each patient&#039;s condition is different in the treatment of corneal diseases. For this reason, Assoc. Prof. Dr. K\u00fcbra \u015eerefo\u011flu offers personalized treatment plans to her patients. The most appropriate treatment method is determined by considering the patient&#039;s general health status, severity of the disease and lifestyle.<\/p><p>Corneal diseases are serious eye problems that should not be neglected.
