It's a story of hope that begins in a consultation room, continues with the hard work carried out in an operating theatre, and ends with a smile during recovery. On 14 March, we would like to wish all our doctors and healthcare workers, who are part of these stories every day, a happy Medicine Day, and thank them for their dedication to saving lives.

Glaucoma is a disease that causes damage to the retina and optic nerve. This damage usually happens without symptoms after the age of 40. The most important thing to know about glaucoma is that the damage is permanent. Once you have been diagnosed, the only aim of the treatment is to protect your current vision and visual field.
The best way to stop glaucoma is to raise awareness and get tested every year after the age of 40.
It's important to understand that glaucoma is not just about having higher than normal pressure inside the eye. It is just one of the things that can cause glaucoma. This is why it's so important to get a thorough check-up from an eye doctor. Unfortunately, there's no way to stop glaucoma from happening. But it can be stopped with local or systemic medication or surgery.

Obesity is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as excessive fat accumulation that may harm health. It’s not just about weight — it’s about health risks.
One of the most common ways to assess obesity is the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is calculated by dividing weight (kg) by height squared (m²).
Here’s how it’s classified:
• 18.5–24.9 → Normal weight
• 25–29.9 → Overweight
• 30–34.9 → Class I obesity
• 35–39.9 → Class II obesity
• 40+ → Class III obesity
However, BMI alone doesn’t tell the full story. Waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage are also important in evaluating overall health risks.
Obesity is a complex medical condition influenced by genetic, environmental, psychological, and hormonal factors.
• Common causes include:
• Unbalanced nutrition
• Physical inactivity
• Genetic predisposition
• Stress and emotional eating
• Hormonal disorders (e.g., hypothyroidism)
• Certain medications

How is obesity treated?
The goal is not only weight loss, but improving overall health and quality of life.
1. Lifestyle changes
Balanced nutrition, regular exercise (at least 150 minutes per week), and behavioral support.
2. Medical treatment
Medication may be considered for individuals with BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with related health conditions.
3. Bariatric surgery
Recommended for BMI ≥40, or ≥35 with serious obesity-related diseases.
Gastric balloon treatment may be an option in selected cases.
Early evaluation and personalized treatment make a difference.

Allergic reactions of the conjunctiva (the membrane covering the outer part of the eye and lining the inner surface of the eyelids) are common in childhood, but can affect people of all ages. The condition usually recurs and often resolves spontaneously. Pollen from many different sources can stimulate the allergy-responsible cells in the conjunctiva, causing a reaction. The most common type is seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, which occurs most frequently in children and during the spring and summer. Patients may also have other allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, often associated with flower pollen. This condition, which is more common in men, generally decreases in frequency and severity with age. There are also more severe types of allergic conjunctivitis.
Symptoms typically include severe itching and redness of the eyes, often accompanied by light sensitivity. The eyes may become watery or produce a sticky discharge, while the eyelids can appear swollen and red. These eye-related symptoms may also occur alongside other allergic reactions such as a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. Frequent eye rubbing is common and can sometimes lead to secondary infections.
