Refractive Surgery & Laser Treatments
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Treatment
ICL treatment is developed for individuals who are not suitable for refractive laser procedures to eliminate the need for glasses. It can reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses and provide clearer vision. Additionally, the recovery process after the treatment is usually quick, allowing the patient to return to their daily activities shortly.
ICL treatment is performed with a special lens that is placed inside the eye, positioned behind the pupil and in front of the natural lens. This lens corrects vision problems by properly refracting light onto the eye’s lens.
ICL treatment is generally a preferred option for healthy individuals between the ages of 18-45. Suitable candidates are determined after a detailed examination by an eye doctor.
ICL treatment should be performed by a specialist eye doctor, and a thorough examination should be conducted before the treatment. Every patient may have different needs, so the treatment option and process should be personalized.
We invite you to a consultation to learn more about ICL treatment and to find out if this treatment option is suitable for you. Wishing you clear vision with healthy eyes!
Laser Treatments
Technological advancements in eye health offer more effective and permanent solutions for the treatment of eye disorders and a life without glasses. Eye laser surgery is a commonly preferred method to correct vision problems and achieve clear vision. Here are the details about eye laser methods:
PRK, known as the first-generation laser method, involves mechanically removing the upper epithelial layer of the cornea and then reshaping the surface of the cornea with an excimer laser. This method can be preferred for patients with thin corneas who are not suitable for other methods. The PRK procedure may require a longer recovery period compared to LASIK and LASEK.
It is a method similar to PRK. In this method, the upper epithelial layer of the cornea is removed using a laser, and the surface of the cornea is reshaped with an excimer laser. Like PRK, this method can also be preferred for patients with thin corneas who are not suitable for other methods. The recovery period may be longer compared to other methods.
LASIK is one of the most common eye laser methods. In this second-generation method, a flap of predetermined thickness is created by lifting the upper layer of the cornea. Then, the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped using an excimer laser. This corrects refractive errors and provides clear vision. The LASIK procedure is generally known for its quick recovery period and minimal discomfort.
SMILE is a third-generation eye laser method that has become popular in recent years. In this method, no flap or epithelial removal is required from the front part of the cornea. A small lenticule is created inside the cornea with a laser and removed through a 2-3 mm incision, thereby correcting refractive errors. The SMILE procedure may cause less discomfort and dry eye complaints compared to other methods and shows a rapid recovery.
By discussing in detail, we can determine the most suitable eye laser method for you, allowing you to get rid of your vision problems and glasses.
