Ocular surface diseases are a group of conditions that affect the outermost layers of the eye, including the cornea, conjunctiva, and tear film. These diseases can cause discomfort, vision problems, and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent damage. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications and maintain eye health.

Tumors of the Eye Surface & Conjunctiva

They are tumors of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) on the white part of the eye (sclera). It presents with swelling and redness on the eye surface and mass formation. Surgical removal is possible.

Blepharitis

It is an infection of the glands located on the ciliated surface of the eyelids. There may be symptoms such as redness, itching and loss of eyelashes on the lid. Infection can also cause eyelid styes.

Eye Surface & Lid Adhesions (Symblepharon)

Eyelid adhesions may occur due to trauma or severe infections. In this case, these adhesions can be corrected by transferring appropriate tissues to the eye surface.

Chemical Injuries of the Eye Surface

As a result of the contact of chemical agents with the eye surface, injuries of varying severity occur depending on the exposure and the nature of the chemical substance. In severe cases, corneal health may deteriorate, and healthy stem cells taken from the other eye can be transplanted into the injured eye.

Allergic Conjunctivitis

It is a condition that occurs with symptoms such as itching, watering, redness in the eye due to various allergens.

Dry Eye Disease

Tears are extremely important for a healthy eye surface. Insufficient tear production due to various reasons may cause symptoms such as stinging in the eye, feeling of pain, and redness. In addition to treatment with tear drops, tear duct occlusion procedures are extremely effective in correcting the symptoms of the disease.
