Born in Ankara | Graduated from METU. My work takes its steam from questioning and curiosity. As quoted from the philosopher Bertrand Russell; “In all aﬀairs it is healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.”, it is a powerful tool to ask the right questions to ﬁnd the right answer, in order to change the taken-for-granted relationship between human and things, which leads to invention and innovation.

Opticmax is a mobile eye-examination vehicle. It is designed to visit and treat the people who live in villages and country sides and can not go to a hospital due to the harsh environmental conditions. It also aims to raise the awareness of the importance of eye health. It contains two eye-examination devices which are autorefractometer and foroptere to treat the possible visual disorders.

Eye examinations: Why is it so important?

A sight test is a vital health check for your eyes that can pick up early signs of eye conditions before you’re aware of any symptoms and many of which can be treated if found early enough. Also, eye doctors are often the ﬁrst health care professionals to detect chronic systemic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
