The network of Batıgöz medical centers today is one of the largest networks of highly specialized ophthalmological clinics in the region. The first medical center of the network was opened in 2004 in Izmir (Turkey), after which for several years new medical centers were opened in the major cities of the country, such as Manisa, Izmir and Istanbul. A little later, the family of clinics expanded to include hospitals in Romania, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iraq and Ukraine. Batigöz was founded by military surgeon and ophthalmologist Dr Mehmet Soyler.
Today, the clinics of Batigöz has: 9 medical centers, 2 diagnostic units and more than 180 thousand patients per year.
Medical centers of the network are equipped with the latest technology and posses all the necessary modern equipment in their arsenal for conducting qualitative diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases.
Thanks to the developed infrastructure, comprehensive diagnostics are available in each clinic, which makes it possible to place an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment. The centers have modern installations of excimer laser, argon and femtosecond laser, 3D visualization facilities, Intralase IFS. The clinics are equipped with Carl Zeiss optical equipment.
All treatment rooms are equipped with a sophisticated ventilation system that maintains hygienic air quality at the highest level.
Much attention is paid to the qualification of medical personnel, as well as to the introduction of innovative techniques for surgical and laser interventions. Doctors have a higher medical education obtained on the basis of prestigious medical schools in Europe and the United States, who regularly attend refresher courses.
Many specialists hold scientific degrees in the field of ophthalmology and take an active part in scientific activities. The clinic’s specialists carefully monitor the treatment process so that the patient receives high-quality medical care.
Batygöz uses the most advanced methods of treating vision disorders (astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, etc.) with lasers. The following methods of correcting eye pathologies are successfully used here:
Smile laser surgery is performed using the VisuMax femtosecond laser, a patented technology from Carl Zeiss Meditec, and is FDA-approved.
In the SMILE procedure, the surgeon uses a femtosecond laser to create a small lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) on the cornea. The surgeon then removes the lens from this incision by making a small arc-shaped incision on the surface of the cornea with the same laser. When the tiny lenticule is removed, myopia is corrected and the shape of the cornea changes. The corneal incision heals within a few days without stitches, and visual acuity returns very quickly.

Long-term diabetes is one of the risk factors that play a role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. The prevalence of retinopathy in adolescents with type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes increases with age. Fluctuations in blood sugar levels contribute to retinal damage and disease progression.
To diagnose this disease, Batygöz uses FFA (fundus angiography), optical coherence tomography, OCT angiography, etc. It is important to note that, unlike traditional eye angiography, OCT angiography is not administered intravenously. At the same time, visualisation is provided using 3D.
Diabetic retinopathy is treated with an argon laser, which slows down the progression of damage to the blood vessels in the eye and can stop the development of the disease at an early stage and prevent permanent vision loss. The clinic may also use intraocular injections to treat many stages of diabetic retinal damage. In severe cases, intraocular membranes are cleared by means of pars plana vitrectomy.
For the treatment of cataracts, Batıgöz Eye Hospitals use innovative technologies that allow for minimally invasive surgical procedures. They use the LENSX femtosecond laser, which makes precise incisions and removes cataracts without damaging healthy tissue.
Batigöz uses all types of lenses necessary for treating patients. These include:
| Cataract treatment eith LensX Laser |
| Consultation with an ophthalmologist |
| Comprehensive examination |
| Minimally invasive cataract removal and lens replacement (IOL |
| Recommendations from an ophthalmologist on maintaining visual acuity |
| MediGlobus 24/7 support — free of charge! |
| Plexr — non-surgical eye contour aesthetics |
| Ophthalmologist consultation |
| Comprehensive examination |
| Eye contour skin tightening/removal of pigment spots and benign neoplasms |
| Ophthalmologist examination and recommendations |

The Batygöz Clinic uses the Plexr device (laser radio distiller) to tighten loose, sagging skin around the eyes. This easily removes layers of skin, stretches the tissue and eliminates wrinkles, restoring a youthful appearance to the eyes. Anaesthetic creams are applied during and after the procedure, reducing discomfort.
Plexr can also be used to effortlessly remove benign growths and spots around the eyes. The device is also used to treat tumours on the edges of the eyelids and skin haemangiomas.
The effectiveness of Plexr procedure in Batygöz clinics is over 92%.
The final price of the treatment depends on the diagnosis, qualification level of the doctor, chosen treatment method, and other factors.

A wonderful facility with outstanding doctors. I am very grateful to Dr. Serkan Biliş. My eyesight is great again. When I was asking questions, he explained very complex medical terminology in a simple, understandable language.
I have visited many doctors in this hospital and I can assure the quality of their work. I want to thank my operating doctor Uğur Ünsal. And also all the doctors that treated my father’s eyes.
Performed a laser correction in the clinic Bati Goz Istanbul. Very pleased with the doctor and especially the results! Special thanks to the Mediglobus Team for their help in selection of clinic.
