Do not Delay Your Appointment

Digital technologies have become an integral part of children's lives due to their use at school and home. Evolving technologies indicate that the use of such devices will become even more common in the coming years. These devices, which make a great contribution to the development of children when used correctly, can cause serious vision problems if used excessively. In addition to advice on using digital devices, surgeon Dr. Elvan Yalçın from Dünyagöz Etiler Hospital shared important information about the problems that can arise from excessive use of digital devices and the benefits of being outdoors for children, especially in summer.

Routine Eye and Fundus Examination for Early Diagnosis

On February 15, World Childhood Cancer Day, experts draw attention to the early detection of cancers that can be encountered in childhood. Surgeon Dr. Feride Pınar Doğru emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis: “The most important feature of childhood diseases is that they are a type of cancer that grows rapidly. A few weeks after their formation, they begin to appear, be felt, and become apparent. Most of these fast-growing cancers can be detected with a comprehensive eye exam”.

Surgeon Dr. Pervin Uygur argues that older people should pay more attention to certain habits in their daily lives compared to younger people: “Even if the incidence of the aforementioned diseases increases with age, it is possible to minimize this risk through certain changes that we must make to our everyday life. To protect eye health, it is very important to eat well, use sunglasses to protect from the sun, get rid of bad habits such as smoking and alcohol, eat healthy foods to prevent diabetes, exercise regularly, sleep well, and use good lighting in residential areas”.
