Can Foods Affect Vision?👁️🧀

At Fıratlı Clinic, we occasionally encounter interesting cases showing that certain foods consumed by our patients can lead to temporary fluctuations in vision.

For example, one of our patients experienced sudden panic after eating a small piece of cheese, saying:
“I can’t see my hands!”
Our examination revealed that it was a temporary visual blur. With the appropriate intervention, the symptoms resolved quickly.

Similarly, another patient came in with stomach pain and visual disturbances after eating bulgur pilaf. We determined that the issue was entirely related to the food consumed, and the patient recovered rapidly with proper treatment.

A Treatment Journey After Years of Searching for Answers…👁️✨

Our patient was diagnosed with Stargardt disease at a young age and spent many years seeking help from doctors in both Germany and Turkey. Unfortunately, the answer was always the same: “There is no treatment.”

A few months ago, after seeing another patient’s story we had shared, she reached out to us. That same night, we connected, and the following month she decided to come to our clinic and begin her treatment journey.

During her initial tests, we observed a significant reduction in color perception and contrast sensitivity. She had difficulty distinguishing shapes in the color-dot test.
But after just a few sessions, she began to recognize those shapes again — a meaningful sign of improvement in her visual functions.

Another valuable change was in her reading ability. She had purchased a book she hadn’t been able to read for years. After the fifth and sixth sessions, she realized she could start identifying even small, tightly spaced text. This was an emotional and motivating moment for both her and our team.

Her treatment is still ongoing, and the progress continues slowly but steadily. Most importantly, she has begun to feel hope again.

Our electro-stimulation treatment for retinal diseases is carefully personalized for every patient.
If you have questions about Stargardt or similar retinal conditions, feel free to contact us. 👁️✨

A Journey of Hope From France to Turkey… 🇫🇷✨🇹🇷

Bahar Yıldırım is 40 years old and living with Stargardt disease.
She first received this diagnosis at the age of 23. For years, she visited many doctors in France and went through numerous examinations…
But she couldn’t find a clear solution.

Until her path crossed with Dr. Osman Fıratlı in Istanbul.

Bahar travels from France to Turkey 2–3 times a year.
Sometimes she stays for two weeks, sometimes a full month…
She continues her treatment with 4–5 sessions per week.

And each visit brings new improvements and renewed hope:

✨ Noticeable clarity in colors
✨ Better reading ability
✨ Improvement in both central and peripheral vision
✨ More balanced, confident movement in daily life

Bahar describes her journey like this:
“I truly believed in this treatment. I’ve been continuing for more than 10 years.
I work, I’m married, and I have a 6-year-old daughter…
Finding time isn’t easy, but for your health, you always make it happen.”

Today, she continues to progress—walking her path with hope and determination.

Thank you, Bahar… Your powerful story will inspire many who are on the same journey. 💙

Vitamin A Isn’t as Innocent as You Think… 🥕

A patient walked into our clinic the other day,
and his face — even the edges of his ears — had turned completely orange.
Why? Because he’d been eating kilograms of carrots every day, thinking it would “improve his vision.”

We explained that:
Excess Vitamin A doesn’t boost vision — it can actually cause other problems.
Unfortunately, online misinformation often pushes patients toward these risky habits.

If only eyesight could improve just by taking Vitamin A…
But science doesn’t work that way.
Even in medical reports from abroad, we frequently see notes like “Vitamin A recommended.”
Most of the time, this only delays finding the real issue.

👉 The correct approach for any vision complaint: a thorough eye examination.

I Found Hope in the Darkness… in Türkiye
✨

Teresa Groshon’s Retinitis Pigmentosa Journey
Teresa Groshon, from Missouri, USA, had been searching for a solution for her retinitis pigmentosa for many years—both for herself and for her brother, who has the same condition. In the United States, the only option offered to them was to wait for clinical trials that would take years to show results. Teresa couldn’t risk losing any more vision.

One night, her husband Wes came across Fıratlı Clinic while researching online. When a Turkish friend in the U.S. visited the clinic in Türkiye and shared very positive feedback, it became a turning point for Teresa.
She soon contacted Dr. Osman Fıratlı and traveled to Türkiye in October to begin treatment.

And the change started immediately…

✨ Even after the first session, her vision became brighter and clearer.
✨ With each session, her peripheral vision continued to expand.
✨ Her husband measured 40–45 cm of peripheral vision gain in just 8–9 sessions.

Today, Teresa follows her progress with hope and describes our team with these words:
“I feel safe here. I found hope again.”

As Fıratlı Clinic, we are honored to accompany Teresa on this journey. 💙

Do the letters appear wavy, shifting, or as if they’re dancing?
This may be an early sign of conditions that affect the center of the retina, such as:
Stargardt disease, Retinitis Pigmentosa, or macular dystrophies.

In these types of visual distortions, early diagnosis is the key to protecting your visual quality.
The specialized retinal treatments applied at Fıratlı Clinic aim to support your existing vision and slow the progression of the disease.

👉 If the letters seem distorted, the lines appear curved, or shapes look irregular, take this warning seriously.
