About Me

Hulya Bolu M.D.

I graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 1992. In the same year, I started Ophthalmology Specialization at Göztepe Training and Research Hospital. I started my professional life as an Ophthalmologist in 1997 by performing many and various surgeries during my residency. I have experienced thousands of surgeries so far in the subjects of “Cataract and Refractive Surgery”, which is my primary area of interest. I follow and apply current surgical methods along with all new technological developments in the fields I am interested in.

I am one of the first users of the “Femtosecond Laser” device, which has become increasingly popular in Cataract Surgery in recent years, and one of the first physicians to perform laser cataract surgery.

MY PROFESSIONAL AREAS

Methods to Get Rid of Glasses

Refractive errors, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, caused by problems in the refractive mechanism of our eyes, can be corrected by wearing glasses or lenses. However, being dependent on glasses or lenses for a clear vision inevitably reduces our comfort.

Smart Lenses

Trifocal lenses, popularly known as ``smart lenses`` or ``smart lenses``, are new generation multifocal intraocular lenses that can increase the visual clarity of patients without glasses at both near, intermediate and far distances.

Intraocular Lenses

There is an undeniable link between our genetic heritage, our advancing age, and the habits we have as we continue our lives, and our eye health.

Excimer Laser

People with refractive errors such as Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism can get rid of their glasses and lenses with Excimer Laser eye surgery.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Today, we strain our eyes more than ever before. We are exposed to air pollution more than in the past, we cannot leave the screens that harm our eyes for hours, and we cannot give up using cosmetic products even though we know that it can cause irritation.

Cataract Surgery with FemtoSecond Laser

Cataract, which is characterized by the deterioration of the transparent structure of the natural lens of the eye, which is responsible for collecting the light from the cornea and transmitting it to the retina, is the most common eye disease that causes vision loss in people over 40 years of age.

Pterygium and Its Treatment

Pterygium, which is known by different names such as ``surfer's eye`` and ``birdeye`` among the people, is the growth that occurs in the conjunctival membrane that surrounds the sclera layer, that is, the white part of our eye.

Keratoconus and Its Treatment

Keratoconus is an eye disease characterized by thinning of the cornea and bulging forward over time.
