Excimer Laser

For all of us and a full sharp vision is very important. However, the vast majority of society, which affects vision in myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism are refractive errors that can be defined as. These are usually quite so are closely related with genetic predisposition, family history is one of the fundamental factors in the presence of such defects. Although still rare, refractive errors developing in time due to some environmental factors (school-age such as myopi) can be seen.

With laser treatment of refractive errors with a history of almost half a century and is a surgical technique that has been applied to millions of patients all over the world. The basic aim in this intervention by means of the refraction of the cornea of the eye by changing the laser power is the correction of refractive errors. Different methods for different types of refractive errors may be preferred. As in all areas, has led to advances in technology and medicine advances in this field. Nowadays, starting with micro blades with laser corneal incisions can be applied in an almost perfect way.

Different types of defects and breaking different eye structures that stand out although they vary according to the method that can be used in laser and nowadays are the main methods.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratotomi)

The outermost layer on the surface of the cornea (corneal epithelium) is applied by laser peeling. The goal is to eliminate refractive error by changing the curvature of the cornea. One of the methods is applied first. Although protection is applied on the surface of the cornea by removing tissue retained with contact lenses, the first day can be quite painful. In another method called Lasek, this outer layer is removed and placed back in a special way.

Lasik

Developed after PRK and now the world's most widely applied method. Cut at a certain thickness of the cornea and the upper leaf surface in the form opens. Dec treatment with laser is applied to the layer, and the slope of the cornea is changed in the desired manner. Leaf-shaped drop, however, are cut and removed, is placed back section that are not. Any stitches are not used.

Tap the top closes with the pain after the operation because of the treated area is covered almost never happens. Quite comfortable and fast healing method. The cornea is prepared, prepared with a femtosecond laser microkeratome we called this layer, such as a micro knives can be created with. When the desired depth is created with a femtosecond laser and the sharpness can be created in a perfect way.

Laser Smile

In recent years, that is starting to stand out in this new method, the curvature of the cornea by cutting between the layers of the cornea with a laser tuned to change from a femtosecond is the surgical removal of the parts. Kalinilig is finding application in a number are not eligible for Lasik corneal or very high.
Before laser treatment, the patient should have a detailed eye examination, not necessarily. We refrak this examination of both eyes (crushing) confirmed the status of both the presence of obstacles have to be an eye disease with laser treatment should be carefully examined, whether it is. The vision and determination after performing the measurements should be taken on both devices, and biomikroskopik fundus examination should be done. Underlying the treatment of dry eye patients is especially important for laser refractive errors. Also, glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy (diabetes-related retinal damage) are diseases that must not be missed. In such cases, treatment should focus on the existing first of ailments. When it comes to the underlying disease or treatment if they do not have any problem with the laser treatment of the eye were made to anatomic also, if appropriate, how to get rid of glasses now can be done to treat it.
Before the operation, patients undergoing laser refractive surgery, and not necessarily even one week of the examination ideally 10 days ago should leave the contact lenses you are using. Makeup on the day of the operation, Cream, Face, Eye to chemicals such as Cleansing Gel should not be applied. Usually surgery under topical anesthesia (eye drops to numb the surface of the eye) is applied with. The method to be selected according to the operation time varies between 30 minutes and 5-10 minutes for each eye. After the operation, patients may be discharged with topical eye drops and protective eyewear. The first day protective glasses be worn, if possible, a television monitor, a computer, a phone, and not used as much as possible is recommended to be listened to. Not much in the LASIK method (even if application is closed (since) on the first day of severe pain after PRK may be a shortage. Keeping your eyes closed as much as possible, the use of protective glasses and drops for the treatment given after surgery will be a piece relaxing. On the next day of operation, patients are examined. Usually on the second day can feel quite comfortable. Protective glasses are taken, but will continue for a while longer treatment with topical eye drops. From heavy sports in the first week, are required to refrain from the pool and sea. Applicable makeup again not for a while. Your doctor controls in accordance with normal life gradually passed.
In Proceedings of refractive errors and vision examination in recent years over the age of 18, too advanced, or unchanging, the anatomical structures of the eye that can be implemented as any type of lasers suitable for people who do not have other more serious underlying eye disease with laser correction of refractive error (glasses can be to dispose of a surgery. A detailed examination and correctly established physician-patient relationship and a successful surgical outcome in terms of selecting the most appropriate method for each patient is extremely important.
Laser treatment of the outermost transparent layer called the cornea of our eyes and breaking the slope of the change was based on. With cataracts in our eyes, the transparent lens (the lens) opacification, the transparency is lost condition. If there is a damaged structure inside of the eye in cataract surgery, the intraocular lens is the lens that is put into artificial instead of taking out of transparency. Where laser is applied, the refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) with different structures are different states of cataract. In his younger years, when they are applied with normal laser cataract surgery cataract patients to treat the disease at older ages is possible. Laser cataract operation will not interfere with previously provided.
Kırklı yaşlardan sonra yakın görmenin bozulması yaş ile birlikte ortaya çıkan dejeneratif değişikliklerden bir tanesidir ve neredeyse herkesin başına gelecek bir durumdur. Presbyopi olarak adlandırılan bu durumda temel patoloji gözümüzün içerisindeki merceğin uzağa ve yakına odaklanmasının yitirildiği multifaktöryel bir durumdur. Dolayısıyla korneaya uygulanacak herhangi bir lazer cerrahisi ile bu durum tedavi edilemez. Günümüzde yakın görme bozukluğu için en güncel tedaviler göz içi akıllı mercekler olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Conducted a study with near vision is still very innovative. In later years, we cerrahis we can encounter with solutions.
