She has more than 13 years of experience in medicine.

Dr. Karamete graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2013.

She has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2022 and works with patients in Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

Dr. Karamete’s clinical work spans several areas of ophthalmology. She assesses patients with glaucoma and plans monitoring and management according to the examination findings and the stage of the condition. She also evaluates and manages cataract and keratoconus, and sees patients with myopia who wish to discuss their options. Retinal diseases and macular degeneration form another part of her practice, where assessment is based on a clinical examination together with a review of any existing imaging and previous treatment.

Strabismus and amblyopia are also within her scope, as is ocular stem cell treatment, which is listed among her areas of expertise. In each case the approach is planned according to the patient’s diagnosis and individual ophthalmic needs. Dr. Karamete discusses the available options with the patient, including what each involves and what can reasonably be expected, so that decisions about further care are made together and on the basis of the clinical findings. Where ongoing monitoring is appropriate, follow-up is arranged in line with the condition and the patient’s circumstances.

How Dr. Karamete works with international patients

Dr. Karamete 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, including laboratory and pathology 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 and a discussion of the options. A video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case with Dr. Karamete before deciding whether to travel, although an in-person ophthalmic examination may still be needed before any treatment decision is made.
