LASIK
What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery, offered by Medicte in Istanbul, is an advanced procedure to correct vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Our surgeons in Turkey use state-of-the-art excimer lasers to reshape the cornea, improving vision. LASIK, especially the femtosecond-assisted method, is highly preferred due to its painless nature and rapid results. This surgery is suitable for individuals with refractive errors up to 10 degrees.
Excimer Laser in Istanbul: The excimer laser is a key tool in our Istanbul clinics, effectively correcting visual refractive errors by precisely reshaping the cornea. This laser technique vaporizes the outer layer of the eye and alters the cornea's shape to correct vision.
How LASIK Works for Canadians in Istanbul: In LASIK, performed by Medicte's expert surgeons, the laser reshapes the cornea, ensuring that light is correctly refracted onto the retina. This corrects vision errors and significantly reduces the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Is Excimer Laser Surgery Painful? Modern LASIK, as performed in our Istanbul clinics, is not painful. Local anesthesia and numbing drops ensure comfort. While some pressure may be felt, the procedure is generally comfortable.
Femto LASIK in Istanbul: Femto LASIK, a specialty of Medicte in Istanbul, uses a laser to create a corneal flap, offering a bladeless, suture-free approach to reshaping the cornea.
Longevity of Excimer Laser Treatment: While individual results may vary, LASIK's effects are typically permanent. Some patients may require enhancements due to aging or environmental factors. Our Istanbul clinics offer follow-up treatments if necessary.
Age Requirements for LASIK: Ideal candidates are typically in their mid-20s to early 30s. We evaluate each Canadian patient's unique situation to determine the best course of action.
