Dr. Alpaslan Koç is an ophthalmologist at Acibadem Kayseri Hospital in Kayseri, where he works in the Ophthalmology unit. He has more than nine years in medicine.

Dr. Koç graduated from Balıkesir University Faculty of Medicine in 2017 and completed his ophthalmology training at Kütahya Health Sciences University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology in 2022. His professional experience includes positions at Kütahya Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital (2018–2022), Doç.

He is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (Avrupa oftalmoloji kurulu) and a member of the Türk Oftalmoloji Association and the Kayseri Medical Chamber.

Clinical focus

Dr. Koç sees patients with glaucoma, a condition in which raised pressure inside the eye can damage the optic nerve over time and which is typically monitored and managed on an ongoing basis. He also assesses and treats cataract and keratoconus, a disorder in which the cornea gradually thins and changes shape. Retinal conditions form another part of his work, including retinal diseases in general, retinal tears and detachment, and macular degeneration, which affects central vision.

Alongside these, Dr. Koç manages more common eye concerns such as myopia (short-sightedness) and conjunctivitis, as well as amblyopia, colour blindness and ocular migraine. The suitability of any examination or treatment depends on the individual patient’s findings, and options are discussed after a clinical assessment.

How Dr. Koç works with international patients

Dr. Koç consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling; whether this is appropriate depends on the condition and the information already available, and an in-person eye examination is often needed before any decision on treatment.
