Main specialties
Areas of expertise
Keratoconus
Keratoconus & cross-linking
Keratoconus is a progressive condition in which the cornea gradually thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing irregular astigmatism and blurred vision. Early diagnosis with corneal topography and tomography matters, because corneal cross-linking can slow or halt progression in many patients.
Common symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Frequent prescription changes and increasing astigmatism
- Light sensitivity and glare
- Ghosting or multiple images in one eye

Real experiences
Mrs. M. Rezaei
Age 68 · Cataracts in both eyes
«For a whole year I lived with foggy vision and was afraid to drive. After Dr. Porkar's surgery, I saw my grandchild's face clearly for the first time in years.»
Mr. A. Karimi
Age 52 · Early-stage glaucoma
«I had no symptoms. It was picked up at a routine eye exam, and with timely treatment my optic nerve was preserved. I'm told that if I had come later, the story would have been different.»
Mr. S. Mohammadi
Age 45 · Retinal tear
«I suddenly saw flashes of light and called the clinic the same day. Dr. Porkar said it could have become a full tear within hours. I'm glad I acted straight away.»
