Semih Urvasizoglu

Dr. Semih Urvasizoglu is an eye surgeon at VM Medical Park Florya Hospital in Istanbul. He is a member of the Turkish Ophthalmology Association. The specialist has authored numerous studies on eye treatments in international peer-reviewed journals.

Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Urvasizoglu focuses on refractive surgery, glaucoma, and retinal disorders. He performs phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) to treat corneal infiltrates and dystrophies. This laser procedure removes cloudy tissue from the cornea to improve clarity. The specialist also uses femtosecond lasers for intracorneal ring placement to correct vision.

His surgical practice includes 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for complex retinal detachments. He also employs Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy to improve vision after cataract surgery. The doctor treats central serous chorioretinopathy using half-fluens photodynamic therapy. This method uses a light-activated drug to seal leaking blood vessels in the retina.
