Katarakt ve kornea cerrahisi, özellikli göz içi mercekler, lazer ile gözlükten kurtulma, kök hücre nakli ve glokom (göz tansiyonu) ameliyatlarında 20 yıllık yurt içi ve yurt dışı mesleki tecrübemle hastalarımı özel muayenehanemde, Koç Üniversitesi Hastanesi ve Amerikan Hastanesi’nde kabul etmekteyim. Ulusal ve uluslararası 300’ün üzerinde bilimsel makale yayınlamış, ulusal ve uluslararası platformlarda 20’nin üzerinde ödül almış, çifte doktoralı, ulusal ve uluslararası kongrelerde konferanslar vermekte olan bir klinisyen bilim insanıyım.

Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi’nden 2000 yılında derece ile mezun oldum. Aynı yıl yapılan Tıpta Uzmanlık Sınavı’nda ilk 10’a girdim ve Göz Hastalıkları uzmanlık eğitimini 2000-2004 yılları arasında Hacettepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı’nda tamamladım. 2009-2011 yılları arasında dünyanın bir numaralı üniversitesi olan Harvard’da kornea, refraktif cerrahi ve katarakt konusunda ileri uzmanlık eğitimi aldım. 2016 yılında Boston, Massachussetts Tufts Medical Center’da ileri katarakt ve rafraktif cerrahi eğitimi aldım. 2012 yılında doçent, 2018 yılında profesör unvanı aldım.

Yaptığım üstün nitelikli çalışmalardan dolayı çok sayıda ulusal ve uluslararası ödüle layık görüldüm. Bu ödüllerden bazıları şunlardır: ARVO-Asia Travel Fellowship Grant Ödülü, Gazi Göz Vakfı ‘En İyi Bilimsel Makale Ödülü’, ARVO Collaborative Research Fellowship Award, ICO Helmerich Fellowship Award, ICO WOC Fellowship Award, Royal College of Ophthalmologists Best Reviewer Award, Türkiye Bilimler Akademisi Üstün Başarılı Genç Bilim İnsanı Ödülü, Koç Üniversitesi Yılın Öğretim Üyesi Ödülü. 2020-2022 yılları arasında Koç Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Başkanlığı yaptım.

Klinisyen bilim insanı kimliğimden dolayı Koç Üniversitesi Translasyonel Tıp Araştırma Merkezi KUTTAM bünyesinde Görme Araştırmaları Lab’ını kurdum. Koç Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi’nden Prof. Dr. Hakan ÜREY, Prof. Dr. Seda KIZILEL ve Doç. Dr. Sedat NİZAMOĞLU ile birlikte kurduğum iş birlikleri neticesinde çok sayıda ödül ve patent alarak tıbbi cihaz geliştirmeye odaklandım. Avrupa İnovasyon Konseyi’nden aldığımız EIC Transitions Ödülü ile ilk start-up şirketimiz OcuSim’i kurduk ve inovasyona odaklandık. Katarakt ameliyatı öncesinde en doğru merceği saptamaya yarayan holografik display teknolojisi, oftalmoloji alanında ilk uygulama alanı oldu.

Halen Türk Oftalmoloji Derneği Kornea ve Oküler Yüzey ve Glokom Birimi aktif üyesiyim. Yurt dışında Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), European Association for Vision and Eye Research (EVER), American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) ve European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) üyesiyim.

Zorlu (komplike) katarakt cerrahisi, akıllı mercek cerrahisi, refraktif (gözlük derecesi sıfırlama) cerrahi, keratokonus, kornea nakli, kuru göz-oküler yüzey hastalıkları ve glokom (göz tansiyonu) ilgi alanlarımı oluşturmaktadır. Yirmi yılı aşkın bir sürede 15.000’in üzerinde ameliyat gerçekleştirdim.
