Clinical focus

Dr. Kabadere’s clinical interests include refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, as well as cataract and glaucoma. He also evaluates and manages patients with retinal diseases, uveitis, and strabismus. In these conditions, the assessment usually begins with a detailed eye examination, and the approach to treatment depends on the diagnosis, the stage of the condition, and the findings at examination.

Pediatric eye diseases form another part of his practice, including amblyopia and nystagmus in children. He additionally sees patients with eye allergy, color blindness, eyelid twitching (myokymia), and ocular migraine. Because several of these conditions can present with overlapping symptoms, Dr. Kabadere places emphasis on a careful history and examination before discussing whether observation, correction with glasses or lenses, medical treatment, or a surgical option may be appropriate for the individual patient.

How Dr. Kabadere works with international patients

Dr. Kabadere 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 reports, 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, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Kabadere before deciding whether to travel for an in-person examination.
