DrCagatay Eye Clinic is a private ophthalmology center located in İzmir, Turkey, specializing in adult and pediatric eye care, with a particular focus on strabismus (eye muscle disorders) and complex ocular motility conditions.
The clinic is led by Assoc. Prof. Halil Hüseyin Çağatay, MD, FEBO, a European Board-certified ophthalmologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. Throughout his career, he has managed more than 3,000 ophthalmic surgeries, with particular expertise in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of complex eye movement disorders.
Areas of Expertise
DrCagatay Eye Clinic provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of ophthalmic conditions affecting both children and adults, including strabismus, double vision (diplopia), amblyopia (lazy eye), cranial nerve palsies, postoperative strabismus, nystagmus, abnormal head posture related to ocular motility disorders, and other complex eye movement disorders. Every patient undergoes a comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation to develop an individualized treatment plan.
The clinic specializes in both primary and revision strabismus surgery for children and adults. Surgical techniques are selected according to each patient's condition, with adjustable sutures used when clinically appropriate to optimize postoperative eye alignment.
Nystagmus and Ocular Prosthesis Care
For selected patients with congenital or acquired nystagmus, the clinic offers surgical treatment aimed at improving abnormal head posture, repositioning the null point, enhancing binocular alignment when possible, and supporting visual function and quality of life. Selected patients may also be evaluated for laser vision correction following a comprehensive preoperative assessment.
The clinic also provides surgical management for patients requiring an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye), including socket reconstruction, treatment of contracted sockets, implant-related procedures, eyelid reconstruction, and preparation for prosthetic eye fitting. After healing, a custom-made acrylic ocular prosthesis is individually designed to match the patient's healthy eye in size, shape, and color, providing a natural appearance and comfortable long-term wear.
International Patient Services
International patients receive support from dedicated medical coordinators throughout their treatment journey. Services include pre-arrival treatment planning, English-speaking assistance, remote consultations, online follow-up after returning home, and all-inclusive treatment packages that may include airport transfers, hotel accommodation, surgery, and postoperative care.
DrCagatay Eye Clinic welcomes both adults and children and treats patients from Turkey, Europe, the United Kingdom, the Balkans, the Middle East, Africa, and other international destinations. The clinic is committed to providing patient-centered ophthalmic care with an emphasis on safety, transparency, advanced surgical techniques, and long-term treatment outcomes.
