Dr. Ömer Feyyaz Kadıoğlu

Dr. Ömer Feyyaz Kadıoğlu is an ophthalmologist whose practice centers on cataract, refractive errors, cataract surgery, refractive surgery, contact lens fitting and contact lens management. He joined Acibadem Health Group in 2013, and his profile lists more than 13 years in medicine. His work combines the surgical treatment of cataract and refractive errors with the non-surgical management of vision correction through contact lenses.

Dr. Kadıoğlu graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 1985. He completed his specialty training in ophthalmology at Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital in 1997. He is a member of the Turkish Ophthalmology Association, the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and the European Contact Lens Association. These memberships reflect the two main strands of his clinical work: cataract and refractive surgery on the one hand, and contact lens care on the other.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Kadıoğlu’s practice is the assessment and treatment of cataract, a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that gradually reduces the clarity of vision. When a cataract begins to interfere with daily activities, cataract surgery may be considered. The decision to operate, the timing of the procedure and the choice of approach are discussed with each patient after a clinical examination, taking into account the individual’s eye health and visual needs.

Dr. Kadıoğlu also evaluates and manages refractive errors, conditions in which the eye does not focus light accurately on the retina, resulting in blurred vision at certain distances. Depending on the findings, options may range from contact lenses to refractive surgery. He carries out contact lens fitting and ongoing contact lens management, which includes selecting a suitable lens type, checking the fit and reviewing eye health over time. Where refractive surgery is a possible option, its suitability is assessed on an individual basis, and the potential benefits and limitations are explained before any decision is made.

How Dr. Kadıoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Kadıoğlu 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 medical reports and eye imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation 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 available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Kadıoğlu before traveling.
