Faruk Kaya

Faruk Kaya is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Medipol Bahçelievler University Hospital in Istanbul. He is a published author with book chapters for medical publishers like Springer. Dr. Kaya specializes in refractive surgery and corneal treatments.

Specialization & Approach

Dr. Kaya corrects vision using laser and surgical techniques. He treats conditions like keratoconus — a disorder where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape — cataracts, and macular degeneration. He also uses laser methods to restore sight and eye health.

• LASIK, LASEK, and ReLEx SMILE eye surgery
• Corneal Cross Linking (CCL) and ring implantation
• Phacoemulsification with multifocal IOL implantation
• Vitrectomy and retinal detachment surgery
• Strabismus and glaucoma treatment
• Corneal transplants and keratoplasty

Academic Research & Publications

Dr. Kaya contributes to ophthalmic science through international peer-reviewed research. He has authored chapters in medical textbooks. His work explores intraocular lens power calculation and corneal cross-linking outcomes. Furthermore, he has published research in the Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences and BMC Ophthalmology.
