Eye Laser Surgery
(Femto Lasik and ReLEX Smile)

in Turkey with medicalfly

Many people today have vision problems. People who have visual impairment for many reasons such as genetic reasons, eye structure, working conditions, screens and monitors may have to use glasses since childhood or contact lenses after a certain age.

Continuous contact lens wear can dry out the eyes in the long run, and wearing glasses is described by some as uncomfortable and challenging. In addition, some people may want to get rid of glasses because of the appearance. At this point, eye laser surgeries are procedures that have been routinely performed for a long time and can be considered very low-risk operations. The surgery performed in short time increases the quality of life tremendously.

Types of the Eye Lasers

The ReLEx Smile method represents the most modern technology of today’s laser eye surgery. The result of the Femto-Lasik procedure is clearly similar to the ReLEx-Smile method, but ReLEx SMILE has some advantages over the Femto-Lasik method.

Unlike Femto-Lasik, instead of opening a large flap on the cornea, the procedure can be performed by making an incision of only 2-3 mm in length. This process makes the ReLEx Smile method less invasive and therefore carries less risk.

With the VisuMax laser, thin corneal lens is first created (lenticule) in the intact cornea. Then, depending on the structure of the patient’s cornea, access is provided with the help of this incision of approximately 3 mm. The lenticule is then removed through this incision. This process minimally affects the biomechanics of the cornea as significantly fewer nerve fibers are irritated.

Removal of the lenticule regulates the refraction of light due to the change of the cornea, thereby increasing vision. This method is a new procedure that is not offered in every eye laser center. In short, the advantages of the ReLEx Smile method can be listed as follows;

  • No large flap is created in the cornea
  • Only a short recovery period is achieved thanks to a minimal incision
  • No dry-eyes is expected after the operation

Mechanical tools are not used in the Femto-Lasik method. For the operation, an incision must be made in the uppermost corneal layer, which creates a “flap” that can be opened later. In the Femto-Lasik method, this incision is made with a laser, which means that significantly stronger visual impairments can also be corrected.

After the “flap” is folded to the side, poor vision improves with just a few seconds of operation for both eyes. Here, defects in the cornea are corrected by laser so that the refraction of light is precisely adjusted to the retina. The “flap” is then closed again and allowed to heal on its own. The healing process takes about three weeks.

Femto-Lasik optimized for Wavefront

The Wavefront method helps improve vision in poor light conditions such as darkness or glare. For this, the refractive errors of the patient are analyzed. It creates a kind of an eye map showing all the refractive errors for more precise modeling of the cornea and the treatment is then carried out.

Risks

Serious medical complications are very rare. However, the patient should be aware that every surgical procedure always carries a certain risk. Many patients report dry eyes or increased sensitivity to light. However, these symptoms decrease after the first three months. In addition, short-term side effects such as eye redness, itching, burning may occur.
