Prof. M.D. Haluk Esgin Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, my world was shrinking due to advanced cataracts that distorted colors and depth perception. Dr. Esgin didn't just restore my vision; he restored my ability to see the subtle gradients in my antique maps. During surgery, he explained he was using a specialized lens to correct my lifelong astigmatism too. The first thing I saw clearly was my wife's face after 50 years of marriage with blurred edges.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior archer, developed a rare form of uveitis that threatened her depth perception permanently. Dr. Esgin created a treatment plan involving precise steroid injections and immunosuppressive therapy, coordinating with her pediatric rheumatologist. He even visited her archery competition afterward. She just won her first regional tournament, aiming true again.

During a solo sailing expedition across the Aegean, I suffered a corneal laceration from a snapped line. Airlifted to Acibadem Taksim, Dr. Esgin performed emergency surgery at 2 AM. What amazed me was his follow-up: he video-called me weekly during my recovery in Greece, adjusting treatment remotely until I could return. The man treats oceans as if they're corridors.

I'm a 45-year-old perfume sommelier losing my sense of color due to undiagnosed glaucoma. Dr. Esgin discovered it during a routine check he insisted on when I mentioned 'lavender notes smelling grayer.' His micro-invasive glaucoma surgery preserved my remaining vision. Now I create fragrances inspired by his meticulous care—one called 'Precision' with crisp, clear notes.
