NASA and the American Army give confirmation for their astronauts, and the pilots in the Air Force to have ILASIK healing. And this approves that this method gives approval for a successful result even on people who need to have strong and specific vision ability and are exposed to extraordinary natural circumstances.
Intra – Lasik obtains the operator maximum control and willed result opportunity.
This means that willed is achieved by Intra – Lase. On the other hand, all complications referring to knife are dissipated by Intra – Lase.
Intra – Lase and IFS Femtosecond Laser, which is under the control of computer, do the requested cut in the cornea, and we might constitute the flap however we want. That is why the cut is done with a laser instead of a knife. This gives the operator the chance of avoidance of the complications occurs with the cut by a knife. In addition, Intra – Lase helps us to set the flap with the requested width with high sensibility that the curing limits could be widen as requested. Thus, a lot of eyes which are not suitable to classical LASIK become suitable to Intra – Lasik.
We create a flap by using a high – tech femtosecond laser instead of a knife with our Intra – Lasik method. That is to say, at the first step, everything is done by a laser instead of a mechanical application. This means that Lasik method is done by laser from the beginning till the end that this has become the most important improvement at refractive surgery.
The reason we recommend to our patients are private flap chance and presence of curing methods to each patient.
It is widely known that VISX STAR Excimer Laser has got a high reliability, high technology and performance. It has got its place in high technology laser market nowadays.
Excimer Laser is one of the most improved device which is approved American FDA. By the help of the 3 dimensional active eye monitoring module, it gives the chance of a planned cure without deviation by monitoring micron eye movements. It helps the operator to do a private cure to the patient according to personal needs and eye structure by the laser spots having different diameters. This new model excimer laser system takes its place with its presence of high – tech laser technology.
The main specialities which cannot be found in any other excimer laser are;
• Variable Spot Scanning (VSS) – By the help of this speciality, a better surface on the cornea can be formed, and curing duration is lessen.
• Variable Repetition Rate (VRR) – The operation duration is lessen by changeable laser ray speed.
• 3D Active Eye Tracking – The ray is focused on the exact point by monitoring the smallest movement of the eye.
• Active Track Automatic Centring – Laser ray router is locked on pupil automatically. So all rays are routed perfect on the periphery of the centre.
• Iris Registration (IR) – This is a technology wonder which cannot be found in any excimer laser devices bringing the perfectness together. It is the one and only iris registration which is automatic to the patient and eye and approved by American FDA in order to apply Wave Front cure.
Refractive eye surgery is a surgery applied in order to minimize the need of glasses or lens or rehabilitate the refractive errors of eye. Refractive surgery techniques have been commonly implemented to rehabilitate the refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism over the last 20 years in world.
Myopia: Myopia is a condition of the eye where cannot directly focus on the distant objects. İt has also been known as “nearsightedness” in community. Generally, front-back diameter of eyeball is larger than normal. Therefore incoming light rays enter front part of retina and lens may not decrease its curvature over a certain extent. Myopia is a condition people have difficulty seeing distant objects, but can see objects that are near clearly.
Hyperopia: Eyeball is generally shorter than usual. This shortness causes difficulty for eye lens focusing on incoming rays from near objects. This condition causes that near objects cannot be focused. Hyperopia is typically genetic like myopia.
Astigmatism: The reason of astigmatism is generally irregularity or deformity of cornea. For clear vision, cornea should be regular and at an equal curvature in any direction. In astigmatism, the surface of cornea has much more curvature in one direction than another.
• The sight acuteness which is acquired by ILASIK is very high.
• ILASIK application is the result of the improvements of the last 10 years.
• ILASIK is a LASIK application which is the combination of last improvements in technology.
• ILASIK application is a technology approved by FDA having a lot of positive results.
• All steps of ILASIK are done according to the patient’s eye structure and vision efficiency. And it is a personal cure method.
• A private personal flap is constituted.
• It gives a chance of having a laser application to the thin corneas to which normal LASIK cannot be applied.
• Flap complications are decreased to minimum.
• The risk of sliding of flap and rugosity is very low.
• Recovery is in a much faster.
• It gives the chance of formation of a flap having the requested thickness and width.
• It gives a better sight than Wave Front application.
• Being distributed from a car headlight at night is less.
Laser operation, with excimer laser device, is a treatment modality that provides clear vision by correcting refractive errors of cornea like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism in medicine world.
Laser technology has been utilized in the treatments of eye diseases for long years.
Different laser technological devices are used for different eye diseases.
Operations which are colloquially known as “getting rid of wearing glasses by laser ”operation or“eye-scratching operation” are eye treatments being applied by using excimer laser.
Who can have laser treatments?
• If you are over 18 years old,
• if the thickness of cornea tissue is sufficient,
• If you are myopia by -10 diopter,
• If your visual impairment hasn’t changed over 0,50 in last two years,
• If you are astigmatic by -6 diopter ,
• If you have hyperopia by +6 diopter,
• If your eye structure is convenient for an operation at the end of preliminary examinations and observations, you can have laser treatments.
Who can’t have a laser treatment?
• If you are rheumatic,
• If you are diabetic,
• If you are pregnant,
• If you breast-feed,
• If you’ve had an eye surgery before,
• keratoconus patients,
• If you have diseases like eye pressure and cataract, you cannot have laser treatments.
Laser treatment is a completely FDA-approved secure technology.
Your doctor will assign that your eyes are convenient for excimer laser or not. It is determined according to the results of exactophthalmological examination or observations being done. First examination contains a range of detailed observations in order to plan the most appropriate and secure treatment technique for your eyes and it is an important preparation step as well as the operation. Laser examination, which is not an ordinary eye examination, is applied with the highly-developed devices.
The more this detailed examination is applied by such healthy, high and advanced technology, the more its results will be confident. Making detailed analysis before operation provides clearer and more quality vision after operation. These measurements are made for our all patients being applied laser surgery as a standard.
Pentacam
• Measuring three dimensional 25000 points of eye,
• Capturing 50 different visions in a short time,
• Thickness measurement without touching the cornea, (pachymetry)
• Detailed mapping the front and back surface of the cornea, ( corneal topography)
• Taking highly-valuable information like cataract analysis with just one measurement device.
Wave ScanWave front Analyzer
Wave Scan technology has been first used in high-resolution ultra-modern telescopes. Refractive errors of eye can be sensitively measured by means of this measurement, which hasn’t been confirmed with any methods so far. This digital technology, which is waves can-oriented, can make 25 times more accurate measurements than standard methods.
• Three dimensional corneal analysis and corneal topography
• Vision and refraction examination
• The measurement of diopter value by dilating or without dilating pupil
• Bio microscopic or fundoscopic examinations (eye ground examination including eye and retina and optical nerve)
• Dryness tests ( analyzing teardrop)
• Measurement of eye pressure
• Measurement of corneal thickness (pachymetry)
• Wave front measurements
The users of contact lens should give up using at least 1 week before operation. Don’t apply make-up or lotion to eyelids before operation. Don’t wear perfume on the operation day. Because the laser devices are sensitive, laser currents can be affected by the scents of perfumes. You don’t have to be hungry on the operation day. You can be a little full. Narcotic drops have been used in the operation.
• You can immediately go back home after operation.
• It would be useful to have a rest for a few hours.
• You had better use the protective glasses you will take. It prevents you from touching the eyes.
• You can go on your daily life routines; it is advised to use protective sun glasses for the first days of operation.
• İt is damaging to scrub, scratch and suppress your eyes.
• You need to use the drops prescribed as advised.
• You can do your daily activities the day after the operation and you can go on your life as usual.
• You will completely get rid of eye-glasses and contact lenses related disorders
• You will easily see the watch when you wake up in the morning or at night.
• You will have a natural appearance and vision without glasses or lenses.
• You will have comfort and greater success at sportive activities.
• You will feel less discomfort from climate events like wind and rain.
• You won’t meet any situations like loss of your lenses or breaking your glasses.
