During this procedure, the surgeon uses a laser to create a flap on the cornea. Again with laser support, the shape of the cornea is changed and vision is corrected.

Approximately 80% of people worldwide have refractive errors. With the developing technology, laser treatments that produce the most reliable results are used in the treatment of refractive errors in many people. Refractive surgery method has been used since the 1980s. The most important aim of this treatment is to improve the quality of life of people and to lead a life with higher comfort.

As with other eye surgeries, the main purpose of this treatment is to eliminate the patient’s need for auxiliary vision materials such as glasses and contacts and to continue their lives in a better quality.

During the application, wavefront technology is used, which produces a three-dimensional topography of the eye surface with intralase, ie bladeless method. All procedures are applied individually. The fact that it is a safe method makes it widely preferred in the correction of many eye defects.

Who is i-LASIK Laser Surgery Suitable for?

One of the points that people who want to apply for i-LASIKtreatment should know is who this surgery is suitable for. After the examination, the doctor decides whether you are suitable for surgery.

Things to Consider Before i-LASIK Surgery

Before i-LASIK surgery, the patient is examined in detail. By obtaining information about the general health status, it is checked whether the patient is suitable for this treatment.

However, contact lens wearers should stop wearing contact lenses a few days before the examination. All the issues that patients should pay attention to before surgery are reported in detail by their doctors.

How is i-LASIK Surgery Performed?

For the surgery, firstly, a 3D map of the patient’s eye structure is created using wavefront technology. The information obtained with this map is sent to the laser system where the application will be performed. It is completely personalised information. Before the operation, anaesthetic drops are dripped into the patient’s eye to numb it. After the numbness starts, a flap is created with the help of femtosecond laser. In this way, the success of the treatment is increased.

What is Wavefront Technology?

Wavefront technology is a technology that creates a three-dimensional map of the optical surfaces of the eye. Thanks to this technology, it can measure the light refraction at each point of the eye. These measurements are analysed with special software and contribute to the accurate identification of defects in the eye. In this way, it contributes to the creation of the most appropriate treatment plan for correction. Wavefront technology enables the creation of a personalised treatment plan and offers a high chance of success. Especially in i-LASIK treatment, this method is frequently used.

How Long Does i-LASIK Surgery Take?

i-LASIK surgery is an operation that is completed in a very short time, approximately 5-10 minutes. During this procedure, which is performed under drip anaesthesia, the process is even shorter if only one eye is to be treated. However, the duration may vary according to the patient’s eye structure and the details of the treatment.
