Associate Professor SABİT KİMYON serves at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine in the Department of Ophthalmology since 2019, following promotion from Doctor Lecturer (2015-2019). His academic journey began with medical licensure at Hacettepe University (1999-2005), followed by specialization in Surgical Medical Sciences/Ophthalmology at Eskişehir Osmangazi University (2006-2010).
- Medical Specialization: Eskişehir Osmangazi University (2006-2010)
- Medical Degree: Hacettepe University (1999-2005)
His research centers on ophthalmic subspecialties including retinopathy of prematurity, corneal diseases, strabismus, and ocular imaging. Key investigations explore vitreoretinal surgery techniques, pediatric ocular manifestations of systemic diseases (including COVID-19), and innovative diagnostic methodologies like OCTA. His work bridges clinical practice with technological advancements, exemplified by publications on AI applications in strabismus education and smartphone-based surgical recording.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant focus areas: 47% on retinal diseases (particularly retinopathy of prematurity), 27% on corneal disorders, 13% on strabismus, and 13% on emerging technologies. His research demonstrates strong collaboration with METE ALPER and SEYYAR SEVİM AYÇA across multiple high-impact journals including Retina, Journal Français d'Ophtalmologie, and Clinical and Experimental Optometry.
Scientific contributions include:
- Development of novel surgical techniques (e.g., "knot ball" scleral fixation)
- Validation of Winrop algorithm for ROP risk assessment
- Investigation of energy drink effects on choroidal thickness
He has supervised four theses on strabismus surgery, OCTA in COVID-19, pediatric lens calculations, and ROP risk algorithms. His teaching portfolio spans 14 degree-level courses including Strabismus, Ophthalmological Findings in Systemic Diseases, and Anatomy and Physiology of the Eye across both Turkish and English programs. Two completed national research projects examined intraocular pressure changes post-laser procedures and ICAM expression in pterygium pathogenesis.
