According to data from scientific studies around the world, keratoconus can be seen in 600 out of every 100,000 people. Being, to a large extent, specific to the Mediterranean climate, keratoconus is seen more commonly in hot and dusty countries of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, such as Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Dubai. For this disease, which is very common in our country but only noticed at advanced stages, Dünyagöz offers its services at the Keratoconus Diagnosis and Treatment Center. Keratoconus, characterized with progressing myopia and astigmatism and the thinning and cone-like bulging of the cornea, is diagnosed at an early stage using very special testing methods with state-of-the-art technology and treated by using technologically advanced devices depending on disease stage at this center, which first started to operate in Turkey in 2005 as part of Dünyagöz Hospitals Group.
More information is available at www.keratokonusmerkezi.com about the diagnosis and treatments of keratoconus; an appointment can also be made online on this site with our specialist physicians at the keratoconus center.
