Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, my world was shrinking due to advanced cataracts that distorted colors and blurred fine lines. Dr. Ovali didn't just restore my vision—he restored my ability to see the subtle gradients in my antique maps. His explanation of premium lens options felt like consulting a master craftsman, and now I can distinguish between Prussian blue and cobalt again.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a budding astronomer, developed a sudden strabismus that made her binocular vision fail. Dr. Ovali created a game out of the diagnostic process, calling her 'Captain of the Spaceship' during tests. His non-surgical vision therapy program involved star-tracking exercises, and within months, she could focus her telescope without double images of Jupiter.
During a high-altitude photography expedition in the Himalayas, I suffered a corneal ulcer from a combination of UV exposure and dust. Evacuated to Istanbul, I arrived at Acibadem Fulya with searing pain. Dr. Ovali's emergency team performed a corneal graft using innovative bioengineered tissue at 2 AM. The recovery was monitored via satellite-linked telemedicine as I completed my assignment.
My 45-year-old partner, a professional perfumer, began losing central vision to macular degeneration. Dr. Ovali designed a treatment plan combining intravitreal injections with a customized nutritional protocol based on Mediterranean antioxidants. The most remarkable moment was when my partner could again distinguish the pale green hue of fresh vetiver essential oil.
