About Me
Dr. Sezen Karakus is a cornea and external disease specialist at the Wilmer Eye Institute whose practice centers on complex ocular surface disease. She cares for patients with dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction, ocular rosacea, neurotrophic keratitis, and neuropathic corneal pain, and performs cataract, refractive, and corneal transplantation procedures when surgery is the best option. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Karakus studies the ocular surface microbiome and biomarkers in Sjögren’s disease to improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with inflammatory eye conditions. She completed residency training in ophthalmology at Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, followed by fellowships in Cornea, External Diseases & Refractive Surgery and in Advanced Anterior Segment Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Patients appreciate her meticulous evaluations, clear guidance, and multidisciplinary collaboration for conditions such as dysautonomia-related eye pain within Hopkins’ POTS program.
