Turkey is the ultimate solution for permanent visual freedom. Every year, thousands of international patients choose the best

What is a LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a highly advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat
myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Using an ultra-precise laser, an expert
ophthalmologist permanently reshapes the clear front part of your eye (the cornea) so that light traveling through it is
properly focused onto the retina.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), LASIK boasts an incredibly high success and patient
satisfaction rate, making it one of the safest and most popular elective surgeries in the world.

The Procedure: What to Expect During Your Eye Surgery
Our clinics prioritize your safety and comfort. Here is how we ensure a seamless and highly successful operation:
Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Mapping
Before any surgery, you will undergo a rigorous 3D corneal mapping (topography) and wave-front analysis. This creates a highly customized, microscopic blueprint of your unique eye structure.
Step 2: Creating the Flap
Once your eyes are completely numbed with anesthetic drops, the surgeon uses a specialized femtosecond laser to create an ultra-thin, microscopic flap on the surface of your cornea.
Step 3: Reshaping the Cornea
The flap is gently lifted, and the cool-beam excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue based on your exact prescription.
Step 4: Immediate Recovery
The flap is folded back into place, acting as a natural bandage that heals incredibly fast. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes for both eyes!
