Femto-LASIK Surgery
What is Femto-LASIK? LASIK, widely regarded as one of the most common, precise, and safe refractive surgery procedures, is a two-step corneal operation. Femto-LASIK is one of the most modern methods for correcting myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. All procedures are performed using an excimer laser and offer an exceptionally safe profile. How is […]
Keratoconus Surgery
Keratoconus Disease & Treatment Methods Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea loses its natural curvature and thins into a conical shape. This change in curvature causes light distortion and impaired vision. Although keratoconus does not cause complete blindness, neglecting it will lead to significant visual impairment. Fortunately, available treatments for keratoconus allow […]
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium Disease and Its Surgery Pterygium and pinguecula are commonly seen in individuals who spend long hours outdoors without sunglasses. Even children are not exempt from this condition. In affected individuals, a fleshy, pinkish growth appears on the white sclera/conjunctiva. This growth most frequently originates on the side closest to the nose and extends toward […]
SMILE Eye Surgery
What is SMILE Surgery? SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a minimally invasive refractive surgery method performed using a femtosecond laser with an ultra-small corneal incision. By correcting myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, SMILE eliminates the dependence on glasses and contact lenses, significantly enhancing quality of life. This procedure is especially recommended for patients with dry […]
Phakic Intraocular Lenses (Phakic IOLs)
What are Phakic Intraocular Lenses and Who are They Suitable For? Phakic intraocular lenses (Phakic IOLs) are an alternative surgical option for severe myopia (nearsightedness) and serve as an effective substitute for LASIK and PRK. Evidence shows that in certain clinical profiles, these lenses deliver superior visual quality and higher contrast sensitivity compared to excimer […]
Corneal Transplantation & Keratoplasty
What is Corneal Transplantation and How is it Performed? Corneal transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a patient’s damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue. There are two primary types of transplantation: if the full thickness of the cornea requires replacement, the procedure is termed Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP); if only […]
Cataract Surgery & Premium Intraocular Lenses (Premium IOLs)
Everything You Need to Know About Cataract Surgery and Premium Intraocular Lenses Cataract surgery is a specialized ophthalmic procedure in which the eye’s clouded natural crystalline lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts cause blurred vision and increase glare and halos around light sources. When a cataract interferes with […]
LASIK Eye Surgery
What is LASIK Surgery and Who is it Suitable For? LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most precise refractive surgical techniques designed to properly focus incoming light rays directly onto the retina. The primary goal of LASIK is to achieve clear, sharp, uncorrected vision. Indications for LASIK Surgery Myopia (Nearsightedness): Occurs when […]
PRK Eye Surgery
PRK Surgery: Why and When is it Indicated? PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is one of the foundational refractive procedures used to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Although the visual recovery period is longer than that of LASIK, PRK is widely performed and offers distinct advantages in specific clinical profiles. The underlying optical mechanism is […]
Trans-PRK Eye Surgery
Trans-PRK Surgery In conventional PRK, the superficial layer of the cornea (epithelium) is removed mechanically using manual surgical instruments or alcohol solutions. In Trans-PRK (Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy)—also known as the “No-Touch” technique—the epithelium is removed directly by the excimer laser rather than manually, eliminating mechanical scraping and intraoperative discomfort. Next, the excimer laser sculpts the […]
