M.D. Tolga Yüksel Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired maritime cartographer, my world was fading into a permanent blur from advanced cataracts. Dr. Yüksel didn't just restore my vision; he calibrated it with such precision that I can now distinguish the subtle color variations in my antique nautical charts—details I hadn't seen in a decade. The procedure at Acibadem Izmir Kent felt like having a master watchmaker work on my eyes.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior archer, developed a sudden strabismus that threatened her depth perception and passion. Dr. Yüksel designed a non-surgical vision therapy program so engaging—using augmented reality games—that she thought it was a reward. Within months, her aim was true again, and she won her first regional tournament, seeing the target with newfound clarity.

During a solo sailing trip along the coast, a snapped line caused a traumatic corneal laceration. Rushed to Acibadem Izmir Kent's emergency department at midnight, I met Dr. Yüksel, who performed a micro-surgical repair in the OR. His calm expertise under pressure saved not just my eye, but my career as a charter captain. The follow-up care was so thorough I felt monitored even back on the water.

I'm a 45-year-old molecular gastronomy chef whose career depended on perceiving exact colors and textures. A diagnosis of early glaucoma was devastating. Dr. Yüksel implemented a novel, targeted laser protocol combined with minimally invasive stent surgery. The outcome preserved my peripheral vision so perfectly I can still orchestrate a 12-plate tasting menu without missing a single visual detail.
