How long does a laser operation take?
The application of laser treatment takes about 3 to 5 minutes per eye. Considering both eyes, the operation usually does not exceed 10 minutes.
Will I feel any pain during the laser operation?
Since the patient's eyes are numbed with anesthetic drops before laser operations, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the operation.
What happens if I blink or move my eyes during the laser operation?
In laser operations, your eyelids are held open with a special tool, making it impossible for you to blink. Additionally, a special device called an eye-tracker tracks even the smallest movements of your eyes during laser application and adjusts the laser beams accordingly. Therefore, moving your eyes does not affect the treatment.
Which laser method should I choose?
Doctors specialized in laser operations can decide which method is suitable for you. After examinations and tests, you can discuss alternatives in detail with your doctor.
What should I pay attention to after laser treatment?
After laser treatment, it is necessary not to wash your face, touch your eyes, rub them, or stay away from dusty environments for the first 24 hours. You should not wear eye makeup for two weeks and avoid swimming in the sea or pool during this period. Make sure to use the medication and eye drops provided by your doctor regularly.
Who is not suitable for laser treatment?
Through examinations and tests conducted before the laser operation, it will be clearly determined whether your eyes are suitable for the procedure or not.
How soon can I return to my normal life after treatment?
Blurred vision, burning, stinging, or watering may occur for 1 or 2 days after the operation. After that, no side effects will be observed, and you can fully return to your normal life.
