Specialization and Surgical Focus

Dr. Dağ performs vision correction and restorative procedures. He provides cataract and refractive surgery, which includes phacoemulsification and multifocal lens implantation. This specialist also treats corneal diseases through keratoplasty and corneal cross-linking.

His surgical focus includes:

• Strabismus and infantile esotropia surgery
• Eyelid and lacrimal system reconstruction
• Ocular trauma surgery
• Vitrectomy and laser photocoagulation
• LASIK, LASEK, and SmartSight laser eye surgery

Dr. Dağ treats cases of uveitis and retinopathy of prematurity. He uses Scheimpflug topography to ensure precision during anterior segment evaluations. This imaging technology maps the cornea and anterior chamber of the eye.
