Refractive Surgery
Refraction errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism have been successfully eliminated with the Eximer Laser method for twenty years.
- Over 18 years of age. completed,
- Eye number has not changed in the last year,
- Myopia up to -12.0 Diopters,
- Hyperopia up to +7.0 Diopters,
- >
- People with astigmatism up to 6.0 diopters;
If they are examined by our specialist doctors and all measurements are found to be appropriate, if no additional eye disease is detected and the corneal thickness is sufficient, refractive errors Eximer It can be corrected with laser.
The retinas of patients with diabetes should be evaluated. Rheumatic diseases should be questioned. People who use contact lenses should remove soft contact lenses one week before the examination and gas permeable lenses three weeks before the examination and not use them before and during the examination.
Pre-examination pupil size, corneal anterior and posterior surface maps, refractive error, distance and near. Uncorrected and corrected near visions are measured, if monovision is planned for the advantage of near vision after the age of forty, vision is tested, the dominant eye is determined, and then drops that relax the eye muscles are instilled to determine the actual refractive error. During the general eye examination, eyelid structures and eye muscles are evaluated. It is determined whether there is a cataract in the lens inside the eye, eye pressure is measured and the retina is evaluated. Risky areas such as tears and holes in the retina are surrounded and strengthened with Argon Laser. Excimer Laser treatment is performed after a certain period of time after Argon Laser application.
All examinations are evaluated and the method suitable for the patient's eye structure is selected, taking into account his profession and age, and the surgery decision is made and the surgery is performed at the appropriate time. The dilated pupils after the eyedropper examination return to their previous state after a while.
Perfume should not be used and eye make-up should not be applied on the day of surgery. The surgery is completed in 4-5 minutes with drop anesthesia. It is painless. It is checked again, and the patient is asked to rest and not to touch his eyes, wearing ultraviolet-protected glasses. The face should not be washed .
Post-operative care and cleaning are extremely important. Detailed explanations are made and the patient is called for check-ups the next day and at the planned times. Laser Surgery does not prevent other surgeries in the future. Sports played with a ball should be avoided for a while after the surgery. It can be corrected in suitable eyes in near-distance treatments.
In cases of very high refractive errors, a lens can be placed inside the eye. In such cases, additional tests appropriate for this surgery are required.
If the refractive error remains after cataract surgery and the results of the tests are found to be appropriate, laser correction can be performed. It would be appropriate to make this correction after two months so that the number does not change.
If there is progressive bulging on the corneal surface, careful follow-up is required.
