“For a Life of Light”

Embracing the philosophy of eye health, our Foundation was established in 1984 with the opening of Bayrampaşa Eye Hospital, made possible through the support of our charitable volunteer friends.

EYE FOUNDATION

Our History

Since 1984, we have remained a pioneering institution committed to protecting eye health and preventing acquired blindness — raising public awareness, advancing early diagnosis and treatment methods, and continuing to deliver care with state-of-the-art medical technology.

Under the eye-health slogan “For a Life of Light”, we have sustained this awareness for many years. Grounded in ethical values and centred on human dignity and well-being, we provide eye-care services at the highest quality standards. Embracing the spirit of a foundation, we cultivate social sensitivity, support social-responsibility projects, and contribute meaningfully to society. We host educational and scientific initiatives and remain devoted followers of modern medical developments.

Under the umbrella of the Eye Foundation, alongside Bayrampaşa Eye Hospital, we also operate the İstanbul İdealtepe Eye Centre, established in 1997, and the Bursa Nilüfer Eye Centre, established in 2024. Across these three centres, with a total of 35 ophthalmologists and more than 200 healthcare professionals, we deliver eye-care services that meet international standards. Each year we perform an average of 125,000 examinations, 6,500 surgeries, and 29,000 diagnostic procedures and interventions.
