Feride Pınar Doğru, MD is an ophthalmologist at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul, where she works in the Ophthalmology unit. With more than 23 years in medicine, her practice covers a range of adult and pediatric eye conditions, including cataract, glaucoma, keratoconus, myopia, macular degeneration, amblyopia and strabismus, as well as smart lens applications and laser eye treatments.

Dr. Doğru graduated from Ondokuzmayıs University Faculty of Medicine in 2003. She completed her specialty training at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology in 2012. From 2005 to 2012 she worked at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine in Antalya. Between 2012 and 2014 she practiced at Gediz Devlet Hospital in Kütahya, and from 2014 to 2024 she worked at Dünyagöz Hospital, Pendik/İstanbul. She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2025.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Doğru’s work concerns conditions that affect vision in adults. She evaluates and manages glaucoma, a condition in which raised pressure within the eye may damage the optic nerve over time, and macular degeneration, which affects the central part of the retina. She also treats cataract, in which the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, and offers smart lens applications where an intraocular lens is considered as part of care planning. Her practice further includes keratoconus, a progressive thinning and steepening of the cornea, myopia, and laser eye treatments, with the suitability of any procedure depending on the findings of a detailed examination.

Dr. Doğru also sees children. Her pediatric work includes amblyopia, often referred to as lazy eye, in which vision in one eye does not develop normally, and strabismus, a misalignment of the eyes. Early assessment of pediatric eye diseases allows treatment options to be discussed at a stage when they may be most relevant, and each plan is adapted to the child’s age and clinical picture.

How Dr. Doğru works with international patients

Dr. Doğru 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, such as previous eye examination records, laboratory results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and 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 of the eyes and a discussion of the available options. For patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, Dr. Doğru is available for video consultation, which may help clarify whether an in-person assessment is appropriate and what further tests might be needed. Any treatment decision follows a full examination and depends on the individual findings.
