M.D. Yeşim Tasalı

As a 78-year-old retired cartographer, my world was shrinking due to advanced cataracts that distorted colors and blurred fine lines. Dr. Yeşim Tasalı didn't just restore my vision—she restored my ability to see the subtle gradients in maps that I'd spent a lifetime studying. Her precise femtosecond laser cataract surgery felt like a scientific marvel, and now I can distinguish between cerulean and cobalt blue inks again.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior gymnast, developed sudden double vision during her floor routine. Dr. Tasalı diagnosed a rare accommodative spasm and created a non-invasive vision therapy program involving prism lenses and exercises. Within six weeks, my daughter was back flipping without dizziness, and Dr. Tasalı even adjusted her treatment around competition schedules.

During my expedition to document Arctic ice formations, I suffered a corneal flash burn from reflected UV light. Rushed to Acıbadem Altunizade, Dr. Tasalı managed my emergency with amniotic membrane transplantation. What amazed me was her follow-up—she coordinated with my research team to design custom protective goggles for extreme light conditions.

As a professional perfume nose, gradual vision loss from glaucoma threatened my career. Dr. Tasalı's minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) preserved both my peripheral vision and my ability to distinguish between hundreds of fragrance notes. She understood that my profession required specific color perception for identifying raw materials.
