Nezihi Ün, MD

Nezihi Ün, MD is an ophthalmologist at Acibadem Eskisehir Hospital in Eskişehir, where he works in the Ophthalmology unit. With more than 32 years in medicine, he cares for adults and children with a broad range of eye conditions, including retinal diseases, uveitis, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract, refractive errors and paediatric eye diseases.

Dr. Ün graduated from Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine in 1994 and completed his specialist training at Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology in 2001. He has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2017 and provides his ophthalmology care at the hospital in Eskişehir.

Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Ün’s practice concerns diseases of the retina and the inner eye. He assesses and manages patients with macular degeneration, other retinal diseases and uveitis, conditions in which regular examination and monitoring are often part of care. He also treats glaucoma and cataract. In addition, he evaluates patients with refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia, and his work includes laser eye applications where these are considered appropriate for an individual patient.

Dr. Ün also sees children and adults with paediatric and developmental eye conditions. His areas of expertise in this field include:

• Strabismus (misalignment of the eyes)
• Amblyopia (reduced vision in one eye, sometimes called lazy eye)
• Colour blindness
• Paediatric eye diseases
• Eye allergies

The choice of treatment in each case depends on the findings of the clinical examination, the patient’s history and, where relevant, a review of previous investigations and treatments. Dr. Ün discusses the available options with the patient, or with the family in the case of a child, before any decision is made.

How Dr. Ün works with international patients

Dr. Ün consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as previous eye examination findings, imaging reports, laboratory results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation with Dr. Ün typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatments, a clinical eye examination and a discussion of the possible options. For international patients who are not yet able to travel, a video consultation with Dr. Ün can be arranged, which may be used to review existing records and discuss whether a visit to Eskişehir would be helpful.
