As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I'd been losing the fine detail vision crucial to my lifelong passion. Dr. Özkan diagnosed a rare macular pucker that other doctors had missed. Her micro-incision vitrectomy was like restoring the legend to my personal maps—I can now see individual brushstrokes in my watercolor landscapes again.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior gymnast, developed sudden double vision before a championship meet. Dr. Özkan identified a previously undetected accommodative spasm from intense training focus. Her vision therapy protocol involved prismatic exercises disguised as balance beam games. Within three weeks, she was back competing, her spatial awareness actually improved.
During my PhD research on deep-sea bioluminescence, I developed acute photokeratitis from specialized lab equipment. Dr. Özkan created a custom amniotic membrane protocol that allowed me to continue my time-sensitive experiments while healing. She understood that postponing my research wasn't an option.
My husband, a 45-year-old pastry chef, began seeing 'frosting swirls' in his peripheral vision. Dr. Özkan discovered an unusual retinal lattice degeneration shaped like actual pastry spirals. Her preventive laser treatment was scheduled around his bakery's pre-dawn schedule—he didn't miss a single croissant batch.
