Yusuf İzzet Güngörmüş, MD

Yusuf İzzet Güngörmüş, MD is an ophthalmologist at Acibadem Bursa Hospital in Bursa, where he sees patients through the Ophthalmology unit. His work covers the assessment and care of patients with eye conditions, and his clinical approach is informed by more than 41 years in medicine and long-standing experience in ophthalmic practice.

Dr. Güngörmüş graduated from Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine in 1985 and completed his specialty training at the Ankara Training and Research Hospital Department of Ophthalmology in 1999. From 2000 he worked at the Ankara Hospital Ophthalmology Clinic, followed by a position at Çekirge Devlet Hospital from 2008. He then practiced at Özel Gözdal Hospital from 2014, and in 2016 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services. He is a member of the Türk Oftalmoloji Association and the Turkish Medical Association.

Clinical focus

Dr. Güngörmüş provides ophthalmology consultations and care for patients with eye conditions. A consultation with him generally begins with a review of the patient’s history and current symptoms, including any prior eye examinations, treatments or surgical notes the patient can provide. This is followed by a clinical eye examination, after which he discusses the findings with the patient and explains what the next steps might be, whether that involves further assessment, monitoring or treatment.

Because eye conditions vary widely in their presentation and course, Dr. Güngörmüş bases his recommendations on the individual findings of each examination rather than on a fixed pathway. Where earlier reports or measurements are available, he takes these into account so that changes over time can be considered as part of the overall assessment. Patients are encouraged to bring any documentation from previous ophthalmologists, including prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses, so that the picture is as complete as possible.

How Dr. Güngörmüş works with international patients

Dr. Güngörmüş 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 ophthalmic examination reports, imaging studies, 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 available options. Video consultations for international patients are available, which may be useful for an initial discussion of a case or for follow-up after treatment, although a full eye examination requires an in-person visit.
