It is a method of Excimer laser surgery used to correct refractive errors of the eye. This procedure aims to correct eye defects such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (blurry vision), and presbyopia (age-related difficulty seeing up close and far away).
What makes this method different?
Unlike other classical methods;
No vacuum ring is applied to the eye
No incision is made on the eye
No chemicals are applied to the eye
What are the Advantages?
Since all procedures are performed with only one laser system, the process is very short, and there are no side effects related to incisions.
The laser reshapes the cornea by evaporating an amount equivalent to your prescription on the surface of the cornea.
Recovery Time
There is a 4-day recovery period. After the procedure, a contact lens is placed on the eye, and it is removed after 4 days.
NoTouch laser surgery can be considered a suitable treatment option following a comprehensive assessment by an ophthalmologist and in light of information shared between the patient and doctor. Every patient is different, so consulting a specialist to determine the most appropriate treatment option is important.
