01About

Training the eye, for the eye.

I graduated from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 2022 and ranked 3rd nationwide in the Medical Specialization Examination, which led me to pursue my passion in ophthalmology.

My primary interest lies in oculoplastic surgery, with a focus on eyelid, orbital, and lacrimal system procedures. I am committed to continuous professional development and actively participate in national and international congresses to stay at the forefront of advancements in this field.

Active in clinical research, with peer-reviewed publications and first-author presentations at major international meetings including ESOPRS, WSOPRAS, EURETINA and ESCRS.
