Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yasin Şakir Göker
Ophthalmologist, FEBO, FICO

I was born in Ankara in 1984. I completed my elementary education at Çiğiltepe Elementary School and Tevfik İleri Elementary School in Ankara. I finished my secondary education at Ankara Atatürk High School, and my high school education at Kuleli Military High School. I completed the first 5 years of my medical education at Gülhane Military Medical Faculty between 2003 and 2008. I graduated in 2009 after completing my internship year, which is the 6th year of medical training, at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine. While continuing my mandatory service at the Ertuğrul Gazi Health Center in Gölbaşı, Ankara, I ranked 37th in Turkey in the Medical Specialty Exam and began my ophthalmology specialization at SB. Beyoğlu Eye Training and Research Hospital.

Between 2010 and 2014, I completed my specialist training with a thesis titled “The Effect of Perifoveal Pseudocysts on Anatomical Success in Macular Hole Surgery.” I briefly worked as an ophthalmologist at Çerkezköy State Hospital. From 2015 to 2020, I served as a specialist at SB. Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital, one of Turkey’s other eye hospitals. I received the title of Associate Professor in Ophthalmology at the same hospital in 2020. Between 2020 and 2022, I worked at Ankara World Eye Hospital, another eye hospital. In 2022, I established my own clinic, where I am currently practicing. During my specialization, I examined thousands of patients at Beyoğlu Eye Hospital and received training in many refractive procedures, including Clear Lens Surgery, PRK – Trans-PRK (No Touch) Laser, Femtosecond Laser with Flap surgeries (LASIK), Third Generation Laser Therapy (SMILE), Phakic Intraocular Lens implantation, and secondary intraocular lens implantation.

Since 2016, I have been working as a Retina specialist at Ulucanlar Eye Hospital. I performed many vitreoretinal surgeries, including retinal detachment surgery, macular hole and epiretinal membrane surgeries, and intravitreal hemorrhages. During this time, I examined and treated thousands of retina patients. In 2018, I attended education at the Venice Ophthalmology Summer School led by Prof. Dr. Edoardo Midena. I have several scientific publications in national and international journals.

I am married and have two sons named Yağız and Yiğit. I enjoy skiing, and water sports are among my biggest hobbies.
