Message from the President
Dear Visitors,
Protecting eye health is an essential part of improving individuals' quality of life and public health. Early detection of vision problems, especially in childhood, is of great importance in supporting children's educational life and social development.
As the Üsküdar University Myopia Application and Research Center, we address myopia and other visual impairments not only in their clinical dimension, but also together with biological, environmental, digital, and socioeconomic factors. In line with our public health approach, we aim to develop initiatives that support early diagnosis, strengthen preventive practices, and raise awareness in society.
Combining our university's academic accumulation with interdisciplinary collaborations to conduct scientific research, guide families and educators, and create sustainable models supporting children's visual development are among our priorities. We aim for the knowledge gained from our research to be used for the benefit of society and to contribute to the development of preventive services in the field of eye health.
I invite families, educators, healthcare professionals, and all relevant institutions to work together with a shared sense of responsibility so that our children can look to the future with healthy eyes.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Haydar Sur
Üsküdar Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dekanı
