Refractive surgery is a procedure that aims to correct common vision problems by reshaping the structures of the eye, reducing or eventually eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses based on patient preference. This surgery involves various techniques, including corneal reshaping, lens implantation, or other lens replacement methods, tailored to the condition and suitability of the individual's eyes.
Common refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism and hypermetropia can be effectively treated through refractive surgery.
Laser correction, one of the techniques used, usually takes approximately 4-5 minutes per eye and is virtually painless. The patient's comfort is paramount throughout the procedure, with strict adherence to the doctor's instructions. After the treatment is completed, patients are escorted from the laser room without requiring a bandage.
Refractive surgery offers a path to clearer vision and reduced reliance on corrective glasses, increasing both visual acuity and overall quality of life.
Within the field of laser vision correction, there are 13 distinct methodologies and cutting edge technologies used to treat vision impairments. Commonly referred to as vision correction, laser treatment requires a complete eye examination lasting approximately 1.5 hours, including a series of comprehensive and detailed tests.
The goal of laser surgery is to reduce the refractive error to a level within the +/- 0.50 range. The goal is to achieve vision comparable to or even better than that with corrective lenses. Success is usually indicated by reaching values of 0.5 or below. However, if vision worsens after surgery, glasses may be needed again. Therefore, it is essential that the values do not increase for at least one year after the procedure. After laser correction, approximately 95% of myopic patients and 70% of hyperopic patients can enjoy improved vision without the need for glasses.
Laser vision correction is usually suitable for individuals with myopia up to -10 diopters, astigmatism up to 6 diopters and those who prefer not to wear glasses despite needing them, provided their eye structure is considered suitable for the procedure.
Our price for laser vision correction is tailored to each patient's unique eye structure, determined through a thorough examination by our doctors. The examination, which lasts approximately 1.5 hours, includes detailed tests to assess suitability for the procedure.
