Prof. Seyhan Topbaş, MD

Prof. Seyhan Topbaş, MD is an ophthalmologist who practices within the Ophthalmology unit of Acibadem Health Group, which Dr. Topbaş joined in 2024. The profile records ophthalmology as the primary specialty, and Dr. Topbaş holds the academic title of professor. Dr. Topbaş consults in Turkish and English and is available for video consultation for patients who are based outside Turkey and wish to speak with the doctor before deciding whether to travel.

Dr. Topbaş graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 1977 and went on to complete training in ophthalmology at Anadolu University Faculty of Medicine in 1981. These two institutions form the recorded educational background. The professional experience on record lists Acibadem Health Group from 2024; earlier appointments, memberships or additional qualifications are not documented in the available facts and are therefore not described on this page.

Clinical focus

The medical unit recorded for Dr. Topbaş is Ophthalmology, the field of medicine concerned with the examination, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the eye and the visual system. The available profile does not list specific conditions, surgical procedures or subspecialty interests, and this page does not attribute particular treatments to Dr. Topbaş. Whether a given eye condition or procedure falls within Dr. Topbaş’s current practice is confirmed on a case-by-case basis when a patient’s reports are reviewed.

As is generally the case in ophthalmology, decisions about examination, further testing and treatment depend on the individual patient’s findings. Any recommendation follows a clinical assessment rather than a predetermined plan, and the possible options, their limitations and the need for follow-up are discussed with the patient. Where existing eye examinations, imaging or optical measurements are available from the patient’s home country, they form part of that review so that previous findings can be compared with the current examination.

How Dr. Topbaş works with international patients

Dr. Topbaş speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer to communicate in another language. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit, so that relevant documents are available to the doctor before the patient arrives. 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 that may be appropriate. Because video consultation is offered for international patients, an initial conversation with Dr. Topbaş can take place remotely; a remote consultation is limited to what can be assessed from the patient’s account and existing records, and an in-person eye examination may still be required before any treatment decision is made.
