LASIK Eye Surgery: Fast and Effective Vision Correction

LASIK is one of the most commonly performed laser vision correction procedures used to treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. At Özel Sistem Eye Medical Center, LASIK treatment is performed using advanced laser technologies and personalized treatment planning.

What is LASIK?

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery procedure that reshapes the cornea. A thin corneal flap is created, the underlying tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser, and the flap is repositioned naturally without stitches.

Who is Suitable for LASIK?

• Over 18 years old
• Stable refractive errors
• Adequate corneal thickness
• Myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
• No advanced dry eye, keratoconus, glaucoma, or active eye infection

How is LASIK Performed?

Numbing eye drops are applied. A thin corneal flap is created and gently lifted. The excimer laser reshapes the cornea within seconds with advanced eye-tracking technology. The flap is repositioned, and healing begins naturally.
