Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, my world was literally fading—advanced macular degeneration had stolen my ability to see maps and read. Dr. Zeki Ermiş didn't just treat my eyes; he treated my passion. Through a combination of specialized injections and a custom low-vision rehabilitation plan he personally designed, I can now distinguish contours on topographic maps again. He gave me back not just sight, but my life's work.
My 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was born with congenital cataracts. Multiple doctors said her vision development was permanently hindered. Dr. Ermiş proposed a staged, microsurgical approach he developed for pediatric cases. The precision was breathtaking. Post-surgery, he used playful, game-like exercises to train her brain to use her new lenses. Today, she sees the blackboard perfectly and her drawings are filled with details she never perceived before.
I'm a 31-year-old software engineer who developed a sudden, severe case of uveitis during a critical project deadline. It was an emergency on a Friday night. Dr. Ermiş met me at Eskisehir Hospital Acibadem immediately. His calm demeanor was as therapeutic as the swift treatment. He explained the autoimmune link and coordinated with a rheumatologist. My vision cleared in days, and he helped prevent a recurrence by managing my stress triggers.
My husband, a 58-year-old baker, suffered a chemical burn to both eyes from a cleaning agent splash. The panic was indescribable. Dr. Ermiş managed the emergency with a revolutionary amniotic membrane transplant procedure to promote healing and prevent scarring. The recovery was long, but Dr. Ermiş visited him daily, even on weekends, adjusting the treatment. My husband now sees well enough to decorate his pastries with intricate detail again.
