What is Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK)?

LASIK is the eye surgery in which visual defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism are corrected with a special laser called excimer laser. The cornea layer in the outermost part of the eye is reshaped and the light is focused on the retina with a successful LASIK surgery.

Who are suitable candidates for LASIK treatment?

LASIK treatment may not be suitable for every eye. You should be over 18 age first of all, and your glasses or contact lens numbers should no longer progress. You should get a detailed examination in the eye than. This examination is especially aimed at examining the corneal layer where the laser will be applied and includes non-routine examinations such as eye surface maps and corneal thickness measurement.

How is LASIK performed?

LASIK is performed in the eye center laser treatment room and under sterile conditions. The operation is performed under anesthesia with eye drops. General anesthesia or needle anesthesia is not used. A retractor is placed under the eyelids to prevent blinking during the treatment. A special device called a microkeratome is placed in the eye to flatten the corneal layer and lift a valve called a flap from the eye surface.

After the flap removal, laser application begins. Laser beams reshape your corneal layer and treat the refractive error in the eye in this way. Then the flap is covered back to its former place and antibiotic drops are applied to the eye.
