Dr. Sinan Göker, known for his expertise in eye surgeries and laser treatment of visual impairments, was born in Izmir in 1958. After graduating from Kadıköy Anatolian High School, he graduated from Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1982. In 1988, he completed his ophthalmology specialization in the Department of Ophthalmology at Çapa Medical Faculty.

During and after his specialization, he received training at Sarasota Retina Institute in Florida, USA, Bellaire Institute of Cataract Surgery in Houston, Texas, and San Antonio Texas Institute of Cataract Surgery. Dr. Göker, who had the opportunity to directly see the results of the Excimer laser technique by examining patients, decided that this technology was the best method to be applied in the future and continued his studies on this subject after returning to Turkey. Thus, in 1992, he became one of the first in the world to perform Excimer laser eye surgery.

In 1992, he applied laser treatment of myopia and astigmatism. In 1997, he brought the Lasik method to Turkey to treat high-grade myopia. He also performed laser tear duct and glaucoma surgeries.

Dr. Göker also introduced new techniques used in eye surgeries in Turkey. In 1990, he was the initiator of sutureless cataract surgery with ultrasound (faco technique) in Turkey. For about 18 years, he has been treating age-related near vision problems by applying multifocal intraocular lenses known as “smart lenses” among the public.
