i What is Lasik?
iLasik laser surgery, also known as bladeless laser, is a personalized laser treatment method used in the permanent treatment of eye defects such as hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia. It is also used in the canal opening process for the rings used in the treatment of keratoconus.
During the laser process, intralase (bladeless method) and wavefront technology, which reveals the three-dimensional topography of the eye surface, are applied individually.
Who Can Be Applied to iLasik Laser Eye Surgery?
People who want to have iLasik Laser must meet 3 conditions:
-
be 18 years or older,
-
Stability of the eye number, that is, the eye disorder does not increase more than 0.5 in a year,
-
Appropriate eye structure.
Apart from these conditions, Lasik Laser is not recommended for people with diabetes, connective tissue disease, rheumatism, and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
It should not be forgotten that one of the basic rules of medicine is the rule "There is no disease, there is a patient". Each patient is unique and should be evaluated individually. Therefore, it is not the right approach to say that everyone who meets these criteria will have a laser, or those who do not can definitely not have a laser.
i How is Lasik Laser Eye Surgery Performed?
Before starting the laser procedure, the patient's eye is anesthetized with eye drops. After anesthetization, the treatment is performed by creating a blade-free flap with a femtosecond laser. In line with the information entered into the excimer laser device, the cornea is reshaped with laser beams. Then, the separated flap is replaced and the procedure is completed. Thus, the refractive error is corrected.
During the application, the excimer device, using the advantage of the eye recognition system, follows the rotational movement of the eye and ensures that the laser beams are locked to the correct region in the cornea region. The laser process takes approximately 15-20 minutes for both eyes.
How is the preparation process for iLasik Laser Eye Surgery?
The most important criterion of the iLasik Laser procedure is the determination of the appropriate patient and the appropriate method. For this reason, i Lasik Laser should definitely be performed by physicians experienced in laser and cornea. Before the laser procedure, the patient should be discussed in detail and a detailed eye examination should be performed. Many subjects such as why the patient wants to have a laser, his expectations after the laser procedure, his profession, hobbies, sports activities, diseases he has, and drugs used should be discussed during the examination phase.
In the preliminary examination, numbers are determined, eye pressure is measured, strabismus examination and microscopic examination are performed. In the next step, it is checked whether the corneal structure is suitable for the laser with the topography film. If the corneal structure is suitable for laser treatment, drop measurement and retinal examination are performed. Drop measurement is mandatory for every patient who will have a laser.
What are the conditions that the patient should pay attention to before the iLasik Laser Procedure?
-
Discontinue the use of lenses at least 2 days before the laser examination and procedure.
-
Do not use perfume, deodorant, and do not make eye and face make-up on the day of laser operation.
-
Come to the laser procedure with your companion.
-
You cannot drive immediately after laser treatment. It would be right to come with a relative who will drive.
-
There is no harm in eating before the laser procedure.
-
It would be good to have sunglasses with you.
How is the process after iLasik Laser?
After the laser procedure, the patient has pain, stinging and watering for up to 6 hours, and then these go away. The next day, the person can return to his daily life with clear vision. It is not recommended to enter the sea and pool for 4 weeks. The patient uses artificial tear drops for approximately 1.5 months. The control examination continues for a certain period of time.
