100% Customized Vision Correction
1. Precision Eye Mapping
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. A rigorous, high-tech preoperative assessment is crucial to ensure safety and perfect results.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- Corneal Topography (Pentacam): Creating a highly detailed 3D map of your cornea to check for irregularities or thinness that might rule out LASIK.
- Wavefront Aberrometry: Measuring how light travels through your eye to detect microscopic imperfections, allowing the laser to create a fully customized, ‘fingerprint-specific’ treatment profile.
- Tear Film Assessment: Checking for dry eye syndrome, which must be managed before proceeding with laser surgery.
Painless, Bladeless Technology
2. Surgical Excellence in Laser Correction
Our clinics utilize purely bladeless technology for maximum safety and precision.
Advanced Surgical Options:
- Femto-LASIK (Bladeless LASIK): A highly precise Femtosecond laser is used to create a microscopic flap in the cornea. An Excimer laser then gently reshapes the underlying tissue to correct your vision. The flap is replaced, acting as a natural bandage.
- PRK / TransPRK (No Touch): If your corneas are too thin for a LASIK flap, the laser is applied directly to the surface of the eye. Recovery takes slightly longer, but the long-term visual results are identical to LASIK.
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): The newest generation of laser surgery for myopia. A laser creates a tiny disc of tissue inside the cornea, which is extracted through a microscopic keyhole, preserving corneal strength and reducing dry eye.
See Clearly by the Next Morning
3. Rapid Recovery and 20/20 Vision
The recovery from Femto-LASIK and SMILE is remarkably fast, allowing you to enjoy your new vision almost immediately.
Recovery Milestones:
- The First Few Hours: Your eyes may feel watery, gritty, or sensitive to light for about 4-6 hours. You should keep them closed and rest.
- The Next Morning: The vast majority of patients wake up the next day with 20/20 vision (or better) and zero pain.
- Post-Op Drops: You will use prescribed antibiotic and lubricating eye drops for several weeks to prevent infection and manage temporary dryness while the cornea heals completely.
