How does Lasik work?

LASIK is based on an advanced technique that acts directly on the curvature of the cornea to effectively correct refractive errors. In Turkey, this procedure is performed with ultra-precise laser technology that combines power and safety.

It all starts with the femtosecond laser, which creates a fine cut (called a cap) on the surface of the cornea. This flap is then gently lifted by the surgeon to allow the second laser, the excimer laser, to work. This reshapes the cornea in depth, changing its shape to restore the ideal curvature.

Once the treatment is complete, the flap is repositioned naturally, without the need for stitches. This treatment provides clear vision in the first few days, with rapid visual recovery, often in less than 48 hours.

LASIK preoperative evaluation

Before any LASIK surgery, a complete preoperative evaluation is essential. Not only does it ensure that there are no contraindications, but it also allows us to create a surgical protocol that is perfectly suited to your vision problem (ametropia).

This highly accurate evaluation includes several advanced ophthalmic examinations:

  • Corneal pachymetry, to reliably measure corneal thickness.
  • Corneal topography, to analyze the shape and regularity of the cornea.
  • Aberrometry, to detect fine optical imperfections in the eye.
  • Anterior segment OCT, depending on the patient's needs.
  • Cycloplegia fundus, using special eye drops.

The total duration of this examination is usually 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Due to pupil dilation, which can last up to 12 hours, it is advisable not to drive after the tests. Remember to bring a companion or arrange alternate transportation.

Contraindications of LASIK

Before any laser eye surgery, comprehensive pre-surgical examinations are essential. In Turkey, Turquie Santé's partner clinics perform these exams with high-precision equipment to ensure your safety and to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery.

Certain medical or eye conditions may temporarily or permanently contraindicate the surgery.

Major contraindications include:

  • Progressive eye diseases such as keratoconus or glaucoma.
  • Eye infections.
  • Unstable vision.
  • Incipient cataract.
  • Too thin a cornea.
  • Pregnancy.

If no barriers are identified, you can benefit from the technique best suited to your vision and corneal morphology. Even if LASIK is not recommended in certain cases, effective alternatives such as PRK, Femto-LASIK or LASEK may be considered.

Post-operative recovery

After LASIK eye surgery in Turkey, recovery is generally very fast. Most patients see a significant improvement in their vision within the first 24 to 48 hours. You'll be able to safely return to your daily activities, such as driving or working at a computer screen, in complete safety within a few days.

Avoid rubbing your eyes for the first week, and follow your ophthalmologist's recommendations to the letter for optimal healing. Sports can be resumed after 2 to 3 weeks, except for swimming, which takes a little longer.

LASIK in Turkey: Risks to be aware of

LASIK is one of the safest and most commonly performed refractive surgery procedures in the world. However, as with any medical procedure, it is not without risk. In Turkey, Turquie Santé's partner clinics take every precaution to evaluate each patient and minimize complications. Before the operation, an ophthalmologist will explain in detail the possible side effects and preventive measures.

Most common side effects

Most side effects are temporary and resolve naturally with time or appropriate treatment. The most common is dry eyes, which is usually alleviated with moisturizing drops. Other transient effects may include blurred vision, discomfort, photophobia, or halos around light sources.

Rarely, more persistent symptoms such as regression or under/overcorrection may require laser retouching or correction with glasses or contact lenses.

Rare complications

Although very rare, certain complications are worth noting:

  • Corneal infection (abscess).
  • Corneal ectasia, a progressive deformation of the cornea.
  • Displacement of the corneal flap due to ocular trauma.
  • Ocular vascular problems related to the temporary increase in pressure.

Frequently asked questions

The precautions that have to be taken before this intervention are:

  • Not to wear lenses for 48 hours before the operation, to avoid irritating the ocular surface.
  • Not to put makeup on the day of the operation and during the ten postoperative days.

The success rate of Lasik eye surgery in Turkey is 99%.

The LASIK technique (Laser In Situ Keratomileusis) consists of reshaping the surface of the cornea and repairing the refractive anomalies that affect it.

LASIK aims to help focus images on the retina in cases of hyperopia, myopia, or astigmatism. 
 

First, the surgeon cuts the corneal cap with a femtosecond laser and then uses the excimer laser to remodel the cornea in-depth and correct the visual defect.

The result obtained is definitive. Visual stability is established between 1 to 3 months when the fluctuations disappear completely and the vision remains clear.
