Excimer Laser is an operation used to enable patients with various vision defects (myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism) to see clearly without problems without wearing glasses and lenses.
Patients who want to undergo excimer laser surgery first undergo a detailed eye examination by a doctor. It is evaluated whether an eye structure is suitable for this procedure. After the examination, the level of the person's eye defect and visual acuity is determined, and any other eye pathology is checked.

It is considered the first excimer laser operation in the world. This PRK laser procedure is completed in seconds. Before the operation is completed, a contact lens is placed on the patient's eye. On the 4th-5th day, the patient is called for an examination and the protective contact lens is removed. The level of vision improves within days and after a few weeks it reaches the level of vision with glasses before surgery.
LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that has been used for many years and is very popular. The operation is performed with the latest technological laser devices. In this procedure, the epithelium, which is the top layer of the cornea, is removed with an instrument called a microkeratome, and then a laser reshapes the tissue in the bottom layer of the cornea. This form is programmed to correct the eye defect. After the procedure, the epithelial layer heals naturally and there is usually a rapid healing process. In addition, people with hypermetropia and high astigmatism may be better off choosing the LASIK method if their corneal structure is suitable.
The No-Touch laser is used for people with near or far vision problems, as well as those who have undergone cataract surgery or are at risk of retinal detachment. The No-Touch laser method is a method that has appeared in recent years and allows treating eye problems with a special program without touching the eyes.
Unlike LASIK and FemtoLASIK, SMILE surgery uses a laser cut on the inside of the cornea. The SMILE procedure is less invasive than LASIK and FemtoLASIK, and the recovery process is generally faster.
