Rıfat Rasier graduated from Cerrahpaşa Medical School in 2004 as the second in his class. During his medical school and ophthalmology residency, he attended Lousiana State University School of Medicine in the United States, Stadtisches Klinikum Kemperhof Koblenz in Germany and The Western Eye Hospital, Imperial College in England. In 2007, he received equivalence for the Faculty of Medicine from the General Medical Council of England and earned the right to practice medicine with Full Medical Registration from England. In 2009, he completed his ophthalmology education and the master’s program in Biomedical Engineering at Boğaziçi University. Rasier, who continues his development in his field without slowing down, completed his ophthalmology residency at Bilim University in 2010. – He completed his compulsory service at Kırklareli State Hospital in 2012. – He received the title of “Associate Professor” in the Department of Ophthalmology in 2016. – He completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Boğaziçi University in 2017 with a 4.0 GPA. As a result of his studies at Boğaziçi University Biomedical Engineering Laboratory, Rıfat Rasier developed a process that will enable the incisions required in the transparent layer of the eye during cataract surgery to be welded with laser at the end of the surgery and thus the incision where the surgery is performed will be closed. In today’s cataract surgeries, the incisions are left open or stitched at the end of the surgery. With laser tissue welding experiments, positive results were obtained in the laser closure of the incisions made during cataract surgery without stitches. Thanks to this system, welding was performed from a distance of 2 millimeters without touching the tissue with a special wavelength. The incision was closed with the help of laser without stitching the eye and the infection risk was reduced and the surgery time was shortened. This study of Rıfat Rasier was published as an international book with the title Infrared Lasers for Corneal Tissue Welding. The awards he received; Best Publication Award, Turkish Ophthalmology Newspaper, 2010, Corneal Tissue Welding with Infrared Lasers of Different Wavelengths in Transparent Corneal Incision. Best Publication Award, Turkish Ophthalmology Journal, 2011, Levels of VEGF and IL-8 in vitreous fluid in proliferative vitreoretinopathy due to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
