What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery is a fast and effective procedure that corrects refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea. This treatment reduces the need for glasses or contact lenses, allowing patients to enjoy clearer vision in their daily lives. Dr. Selim Güldiken, based in Antalya, Turkey, uses advanced laser techniques such as No Touch Laser (TransPRK) and LASIK to offer high-quality care.
What is No Touch Laser (TransPRK)?
No Touch Laser, also known as TransPRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy), is a modern laser eye surgery technique that does not involve physical contact with the eye. This procedure corrects refractive errors without using surgical instruments on the cornea, making it an ideal option for patients with thin corneas or those not suitable for LASIK.
Benefits of No Touch Laser (TransPRK):
- Contactless Procedure: The treatment is performed entirely with laser beams, without using any surgical instruments on the cornea.
- Ideal for Patients with Thin Corneas: No Touch Laser is suitable for patients who have thin corneas or suffer from dry eyes.
- Long-Term Results: The procedure provides permanent correction of refractive errors.
Recovery After No Touch Laser (TransPRK):
- Recovery from No Touch Laser takes longer than LASIK. Clear vision typically begins within the first week after surgery, and full recovery with optimal vision may take several weeks to a few months.
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors. During LASIK, a thin flap is created on the cornea, and the laser is used to make the necessary corrections. LASIK is one of the most common and effective methods for vision correction, allowing most patients to achieve clear vision without the need for glasses.
Benefits of LASIK:
- Quick Recovery: Most patients return to their daily activities within a few days after LASIK surgery.
- Long-Lasting Results: LASIK provides permanent correction for refractive errors.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is associated with minimal discomfort both during and after surgery.
Which Procedure is Right for You?
Both No Touch Laser (TransPRK) and LASIK are effective in correcting refractive errors, but the most suitable method depends on the individual patient’s eye structure, corneal thickness, and lifestyle. Dr. Selim Güldiken will perform a comprehensive eye examination to determine which treatment is best suited for your needs.
Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery
- Clear Vision Without Glasses or Contacts: Laser eye surgery eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Long-Term Solution: Both No Touch Laser (TransPRK) and LASIK provide permanent correction of vision problems.
- Safe and Effective: These modern procedures offer reliable, long-lasting results using advanced technology.
