Our eyes are the windows to the world, and the quality of our vision directly affects our standard of living. Thanks to advances in medical technology today, many eye diseases and vision defects can be successfully treated with surgical methods. Ophthalmology Specialist Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu offers personalized solutions to her patients with her expertise in the field, experience, and technology-based treatment approaches. On this page, you can find detailed information about the eye treatments applied by Dr. Timlioğlu.
Value Your Eyes, Protect Your Vision
Eye health is not to be neglected. Regular eye examinations play a critical role in the early diagnosis and treatment of potential problems. If you are experiencing any of the following eye disorders or have noticed a decline in your vision quality, you can consult Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu for information about the most suitable treatment options.

Cataract Surgery
Cataract, one of the most common eye diseases with age, is the clouding of the eye lens as it loses its transparency. It manifests with symptoms such as decreased vision, fading of colors, and difficulty with night vision. Cataract Surgery is a surgical procedure that is highly successful and comfortable today.
Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye, a common problem that negatively affects quality of life, causes complaints such as stinging, burning, redness, a gritty sensation in the eyes, and sometimes blurred vision. Factors like prolonged computer use, air-conditioned environments, certain medications, and aging can cause dry eye.
Keratoconus Treatment
Keratoconus is a progressive disease characterized by the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, thinning and bulging forward into a cone shape. It causes an increase in astigmatism and myopia, and a decrease in vision quality. Early diagnosis and treatment are of great importance for slowing the progression of the disease and preserving vision.
End Blurred Vision
During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural eye lens is removed using the phacoemulsification technique (also known as the laser method by the public) and replaced with an artificial, transparent intraocular lens. Thanks to smart lenses (trifocal or multifocal lenses) used today, patients can achieve clear vision after surgery without needing both distance and reading glasses.
Rediscover Comfort in Your Eyes
Dry Eye Treatment varies according to the underlying causes and the severity of the disease. Innovative approaches such as artificial tear drops, gels, punctal plug application, specialized treatments like LipiFlow, and in some cases, PRP Stem Cell Therapy in Eye Patients can be used. Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu will determine the cause of your dry eye through a detailed examination and create the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Keratoconus Treatment
Keratoconus is a progressive disease characterized by the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, thinning and bulging forward into a cone shape. It causes an increase in astigmatism and myopia, and a decrease in vision quality. Early diagnosis and treatment are of great importance for slowing the progression of the disease and preserving vision.
Keratoconus Treatment involves different methods depending on the stage of the disease:
- Cross-Linking Treatment: The goal is to strengthen the corneal tissue and stop the progression of the disease using ultraviolet light and riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
- Intracorneal Ring (Intacs/Keraring) Treatment: The goal is to correct the shape of the cornea and increase visual acuity using special rings inserted into the cornea.
- Hybrid Treatments: Methods that combine Cross-linking with intracorneal rings or laser treatments.
- Contact Lenses: Specially designed hard or hybrid contact lenses can provide clearer vision by smoothing the irregular corneal surface.
- Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty): Considered in advanced stage keratoconus patients when other treatment methods are insufficient.
Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu follows current approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of keratoconus, offering the most effective solutions to her patients.
Prism Glasses Treatment
Double vision (diplopia) is a very disturbing condition that occurs when both eyes fail to focus on the same point. Strabismus, some neurological diseases, or eye muscle palsies can cause double vision. Prism Glasses Treatment uses specially designed prismatic lenses to change the direction of light entering the eye, ensuring that the image falls on the same point in both eyes, thereby eliminating or reducing the double vision problem.
After a detailed eye and strabismus examination, Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu helps improve the quality of life for patients with double vision complaints by determining the appropriate prismatic value.
PRP Stem Cell Treatment in Eye Patients
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Stem Cell Treatment in Eye Patients is an innovative treatment method based on the principle of applying platelet-rich plasma, obtained from the patient’s own blood, to the eye tissue. Platelets, thanks to the growth factors they contain, support tissue healing and regeneration.
PRP treatment can offer promising results, especially in Dry Eye Treatment (especially in resistant cases), corneal surface diseases, and certain retinal problems. Dr. Semrin Timlioğlu aims to help you achieve maximum benefit from PRP treatment through appropriate patient selection and correct application techniques.

| Treatment Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Cataract Surgery | Involves removing the cloudy natural lens of the eye and implanting a clear artificial intraocular lens, typically using phacoemulsification. Modern smart lenses can provide clear vision at various distances. |
| Dry Eye Treatment | Treatments vary according to cause and severity; includes artificial tears, gels, punctal plugs, LipiFlow, and advanced options like PRP and stem cell treatment for resistant cases. |
| Keratoconus Treatment | Addresses the progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea. Treatments include Cross-Linking (to strengthen corneal tissue), Intracorneal Rings (to reshape the cornea), Hybrid Treatments, Contact Lenses, and Corneal Transplant in advanced stages. |
| Prism Glasses Treatment | Redirects light using specially designed prismatic lenses to ensure images fall on the same spot in both eyes, thereby eliminating or reducing double vision (diplopia) caused by strabismus or neurological issues. |
| PRP and Stem Cell Treatment | Innovative regenerative medicine methods involving the application of platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood to the eye tissue. Growth factors in platelets support tissue healing and regeneration; showing promising results for dry eye, corneal surface diseases, and certain retinal problems. |
