LASIK Laser Eye Treatment

LASIK Laser Eye Method

The LASIK laser eye method is one of the most commonly used laser eye treatments worldwide. This technique offers reliable and fast results for individuals who want to eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. Since LASIK is performed by creating a flap in the cornea, the recovery period is short, and patient satisfaction is high.


Overview of the Treatment

  • Suitable for individuals over the age of 18.

  • Effective for correcting myopia and astigmatism between -1 and -10 diopters, and hyperopia up to +4 diopters.

  • The eye prescription must have remained stable for at least one year.

  • Suitable for individuals with sufficient corneal thickness.

  • Requires careful evaluation in individuals with dry eye problems.

  • An ideal option for those who prefer not to wear glasses or contact lenses.


Brief Description of the LASIK Method

Fast Recovery: Vision becomes clear quickly after the procedure, and most patients can return to their normal routines the next day.

Flap-Based Treatment: A flap is created on the corneal surface, allowing access to deeper layers for precise correction of refractive errors.

How Is LASIK Eye Surgery Performed?

The LASIK method is performed by creating a thin flap in the cornea. This flap is lifted, and the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped with a laser. The flap is then repositioned. This technique provides a precise and effective solution for correcting refractive errors.

Anesthesia
Before the procedure, local anesthesia is administered with eye drops. This ensures that no pain is felt during the surgery.

Flap Creation
Using a femtosecond laser or a special device called a microkeratome, the surgeon creates a thin flap on the cornea.

Laser Reshaping
Once the flap is lifted, the underlying corneal layer is reshaped with an excimer laser to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.

Flap Repositioning
After the laser treatment is completed, the flap is carefully repositioned. Since it adheres naturally, no stitches are needed.
