Myopia is the defect of farsightedness. People without myopia treatment use glasses or contact lenses. However, these are not permanent solutions. When glasses and lenses are used, myopic eyes see, when they are not used, vision is bad.
The permanent solution to myopia is laser refractive surgery. Personalized intraocular lens surgeries are applied for eyes that are not suitable for laser myopia surgery.
Today, LASIK or PRK according to eye structure is the most widely used method all over the world for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism of refractive errors. The LASIK method is mostly used for myopia treatment. There are many types of lasers used in the treatment of eye diseases. The laser used in the treatment of refractive errors is the excimer laser.
The Lasik method is the removal of a thin layer on the upper surface of the cornea in the form of a lid and the correction of eye numbers by applying "excimer laser" to the corneal surface.
Excimer laser myopia surgery is a laser with a wavelength of 192 nm, and it shows its effect by thinning certain parts of the cornea with organic reactions during application. There are different application methods according to the condition of the patient and the defect in the eye. Applications are made automatically under computer control.
LASIK Technique can be applied up to 1-10 degrees myopia. The success rate is 98%. After the age of 18, it can be applied to any eye with a corneal thickness over 500 microns and a smooth cornea.
Laser therapy is an FDA-approved, safe technology. There is no risk of blindness. Laser treatment can be applied a second time if your eye structure is suitable. Cataract surgery can be performed after laser treatment.
Laser surgery can be applied to all eyes with myopia up to 10, hyperopia, and astigmatism up to 7, and whose structure is suitable for laser as a result of the examination.
Laser myopia treatment is applied to the cornea, and there is no damage to the retinal layer. It is not a painful and bleeding treatment. Since anesthesia is applied with drops during laser treatment, pain and pain are not felt. Eye drops should be used for a while after laser treatment. You can return to your normal life the next day.

There is no risk if it is applied by an experienced physician.
Who Can Have Myopia Treatment With Laser?
- • Over 18 years old
- • Eye numbers have not changed more than 0.50 diopters in the last 1 year
- • Myopia up to number 10,
- • 7 numaraya kadar astigmat ve hipermetrop,
- • Corneal tissue thickness is sufficient,
- • Those who do not have systematic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatism,
- • Those who do not have any other disease (corneal sharpening, eye pressure, etc.) in their eyes,
- • As a result of the preliminary examination and examinations, people whose eye structure is suitable for surgery can be treated with a laser.
Who Cannot Be Treated With Laser Myopia?
- • Those with thin corneas:
- • Those with keratoconus: (There are different treatment methods for keratoconus.)
- • Those with cataracts.
- • People with eye damage due to diabetes
Myopic Intraocular Lens (FACHIC LENS):
We apply advanced technology, intraocular lens, to the eyes whose eye structure cannot be treated with laser. These lenses are produced to be placed between the iris, which is the colored part, and the natural lens. Once in place, they work together with the eye's normal focusing system to provide a good level of vision.
