Prof. M.D. Selçuk Sızmaz Reviews

My 85-year-old father, who has advanced Parkinson's, developed sudden, severe eye pain and vision loss. Most clinics turned us away due to his tremors. Dr. Sızmaz not only accepted the emergency case but designed a unique examination protocol using specialized head stabilizers he adapted himself. He diagnosed acute angle-closure glaucoma within minutes and performed a laser iridotomy right there. His calm, inventive approach saved my father's sight. The follow-up care, with home-visit coordination for pressure checks, was beyond anything we expected.

As a graphic designer, my world collapsed when colors started bleeding together and straight lines appeared wavy. Multiple doctors dismissed it as migraine aura. Dr. Sızmaz spent an hour mapping my visual distortions with Amsler grids, then ordered a unique angiographic sequence. He discovered a rare choroidal neovascular membrane eccentric to my macula—something typically missed. His explanation using my own design software metaphors made it clear. The intravitreal injection he performed was precise and painless. My color perception is now 95% restored, and my career is intact.

Our 7-year-old son failed his school vision screening. We expected a simple glasses prescription. Dr. Sızmaz, however, noticed a subtle misalignment during his puppet-and-light game examination. He diagnosed intermittent exotropia with profound suppression in one eye—our child's brain was ignoring an eye. His treatment was revolutionary: not immediate surgery, but a 3-month 'visual diplomacy' program using specific video games and prismatic training glasses. He taught our son to 'make peace' between his eyes. The alignment improved dramatically without a scalpel. His approach was playful yet profoundly scientific.

I'm a long-haul truck driver who developed a bizarre, persistent afterimage—like a ghost trailer in my peripheral vision after hours of driving. Other specialists found nothing. Dr. Sızmaz recreated my cockpit conditions in his clinic, having me simulate night driving while he performed dynamic perimetry. He identified a unique form of retinal stress-induced photopsia from constant vibration and contrast shifts. His solution wasn't just eye drops; he co-designed with an optician specialized blue-filtering, vibration-dampening driving glasses and prescribed a retinal antioxidant regimen. The ghost trailer is gone. He treated the occupation, not just the organ.
