Refractive Laser Surgery
Refractive laser surgery It is known as the treatment of diseases such as astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia, which are known as high-grade fracture defects, with the laser method, which is widely applied all over the world. For patients who are not suitable for laser surgery, it is possible to save the patient from wearing glasses by performing personalized intraocular lens replacement surgeries. To briefly explain the disorders such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, which we refer to as refractive errors, it is that the transparent layer (cornea) on the outermost part of the eye, the lens, etc., passes through the refractive surfaces and focuses on the point responsible for vision in the cataract, also known as the mesh layer. The focusing of these lights at a different point is called refractive error. In addition, for patients over the age of 40, the decrease in the sense of near vision caused by the decrease in the near-focus feature of the eye center is called presbyopia.
Refractive laser surgery is the treatment and methods applied to correct the refractive errors of the eye (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in order to minimize or completely eliminate the need for glasses or lenses for many years. Refractive surgery methods have been widely applied in the world in the last 15 to 20 years in the treatment and correction of defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. hyperopia, astigmatism) are the treatments and methods applied for correction.

Pre-examination and examinations to be performed, if you are over 20 years old, with myopia up to 10, hyperopia and astigmatism up to 5, without diabetes and rheumatism, whose eye number has not changed in the last 1 year, who do not have any discomfort other than their eyes, in order to receive refractive laser treatment As a result, people who do not have a problem in the eye structure are accepted for laser treatment. In addition, laser treatment cannot be applied to pregnant women, nursing mothers, keratoconus patients, those with diabetes, those who have had eye diseases before, and those who have conditions such as eye pressure and cataracts. The doctor will determine whether the patient's eyes are suitable for refractive laser as a result of the examinations and full eye examination. In the first examination, detailed examinations and preparatory steps are performed in order to apply the most appropriate and safest treatment method for the eye. Of course, the examination to be made at this point should be done with highly advanced devices. The more detailed, healthy and advanced technology this detailed examination is, the safer and better the results will be. Before applying this treatment method, patients think hard and conduct extensive research. The safety of laser therapy is not uncertain, on the contrary, it is an FDA-approved and completely reliable technology. The basis of this trust is the practice of this treatment since the 1980s. In addition, laser surgery does not prevent any future eye problems. The attractive aspect of patients having laser treatment is that there is no risk of blindness.
