iLASIK laser eye treatment

Nowadays, it is possible to analyze these aberrations and transmit all the analysis details into the laser device. In this way with i-LASIK, it is possible to treath both vision problems such as astigmatism and corneal aberration or general vision quality.

iLASIK

The procedure involves an excimer laser used to reshape your cornea to correct the imperfections in your cornea. Essentially in such cases:

  • Advanced astigmatism
  • Corneal abberations (An aberration is a distortion acquired by a wavefront of light when it passes through an eye with irregularities of its refractive components)
  • Still having vision problems after previous Lasik procedure
  • Previous cataract or cornea surgeries

iLASIK in astigmatism treatment

Standard LASIK treatment in advanced astigmatism and corneal aberrations may cause a loss of vision quality after the procedure.

Nowadays, thanks to Wavefront technology, it is possible to analyze these aberrations and transmit all the analysis details into the laser device.

In this way with i-LASIK, it is possible to treath both vision problems such as astigmatism and corneal aberration or general vision quality.

Wavefront

Wavefront is a custom(individualized) treatment technique that aims to increase the vision quality better than a standard laser treatment. Certain light waves are sent to the eye and they reflect from retina. With this reflection the treatment can be planned. In this way your eye can be analyzed as a whole in order to detect if there is any other elements that may cause a loss of vision besides myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism. It allows us to fix “hidden” problems that can not be detected with standard laser treatment.

Re-shaping the cornea in order to eliminate all the corneal aberrations allow the patient to have a better resolution and better sense of contrast. In this way the patient can have the “maximum performance” from his/her eyes.

i-Lasik treatment is the same as a standard LASIK treatment with all its pre and post operation stages.

After an iLASIK treatment, results below +/- 0,50 are considered as successful and the patient does not need to wear glasses anymore.

Am I suitable for iLASIK?

Those who are above the age of 18 and have not experienced a change of eye prescription are candidates for i-Lasik. However, in order to make sure, it is recommended to have a full examination by your doctor to see if you can have it.

For an eye laser treatment, it is important to evaluate the thickness, curve and biomechanical strength of cornea and to examine to see if there is any additional vision disorders such as keratoconus, cataract or dry eye. Also, it is very important to see if there is strabismus or any damage in retina which may be an obstacle for the operation. In order to perform an i-Lasik treatment, the visual acuity numbers should be below +10,0 for Myopia, +6,0 for Astigmatism and -6,0 for Hypermetropia.

Who can not have an iLASIK treatment?

  • Those who have corneal disorders such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophy (genetic disorder in which abnormal material often accumulates in cornea) etc.
  • Those who do not have the enough thickness of corneal tissue
  • Those who have advanced dry eye
  • Those who have glaucoma

Before and after iLASIK treatment

Before the procedure, the patient should not put any make-up on. Since it is performed under topical anesthesia (analgesic eye drop), patient can eat before and after the procedure.

It is recommended to stop using hard contact lenses 2 weeks before, and soft lenses 1 week before the procedure. If there is any general discomfort in eyes, the doctor should be informed beforehand. The procedure takes nearly 10-15 minutes. After the procedure it is normal to feel burning, watering, aching and to have a blurry vision. You should use the protective glasses and eye drops that will be prescribed by us. The day after the procedure we will perform a check-up and then you will be able to return home.

Kävin nenäleikkauksessa travelmedicin kautta ja kaikki meni hyvin jännityksestä huolimatta. Konsultti auttoi kaikissä kysymyksissä. Dr.Mustafa oli todella ammattitaitoinen. Lopputuloksesta tuli juuri sellainen mitä suunniteltiin. Suosittelen

Chciałbym podziękować Pani Doktor oraz całemu personelowi za profesjonalizm i troskę. Po przeszczepie czułem się w dobrych rękach. Pani Doktor była nie tylko kompetentna, ale także wyjątkowo empatyczna. Personel był miły i pomocny, a Berat, który mnie wspierał, zasługuje na szczególne wyróżnienie. Jego wsparcie w całym procesie było bezcenne. Dziękuję!

Where do I start? I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the beginning until the end, Travelmedi looked after myself, my husband and even our little girl. They made us feel so comfortable and respected.

I came over to Istanbul for a tummy tuck and liposuction after hating how I looked for many years. Having children left me with an overhang. I was introduced to Dr Mustafa Keskin who gave me the results I really wished for. He has given me the body I always wanted!! I am over the moon with how I look right now, it makes me emotional. He was so caring & calm and made me feel like I could trust him straight away. Thank YOU!!!

A special thank you has to go to the man behind the scenes.. Berat. What an absolute angel of a man. He has looked after us amazingly. He has been there to answer all of our questions, some silly questions, but also to help us feel comfortable in a country we have never been to before. We have developed a real friendship with Berat and we think that our experience wouldn’t have been as perfect as it has been, if Berat wasn’t with us. Thank YOU Travelmedi for the most wonderful experience. We will recommend to all of our family & friends. See you again in the future.

I came to travel medi on a recommendation for a breast uplift and augmentation but being only 22 I was extremely nervous and it was my first surgery also. Berat was just amazing I cannot talk higher of him! He made the whole experience every single step as seamless as possible, I was given a whole itinerary and Berat still kept me updated and went through every step I did by my side. Every consultation appointment every time I had to leave the hotel he was there with us, he is so so lovely kind caring and any question or query(not that I had many) he answered almost immediately!

I went to a different surgeon than what I was supposed to but it was the best decision ever made. Professor Mustafa Keskin is top of the game and he was absolutely brilliant and went into so much detail about every single aspect of the surgery.

I was extremely nervous about having surgery but he was amazing. Berat was with me every step of the way till I was being wheeled down for surgery! When I woke up in the morning he was there for my release and accompanied me in the car back to the hotel.

Travel Medi is an amazing company to go with, from start to finish my whole process was completely seamless and stress free. They sort everything out so all you have to do is turn up! Every time we left the hotel for a consultation or blood work our driver was there to take us wait and pick us up. Berat is a credit to Travel Medi he’s an absolute diamond! Even now I am home he is still checking in to make sure I am ok!

From the very first contact made with travelmedi the service was amazing. They were so thorough with all their questions and as a mother allowing her child at 17 years old to under go any surgery never mind surgery in another country I say I had nothing to worry about. They made great contact right up to appointment. From the first greeting at airport until the last drop bk at airport to return was excellent service. And that wasn't the end they still made contact to see how her healing process was and I honestly would recommend them to anyone. The service in turkey was for a breast reduction and from her first appointment until her last the staff were so helpful pleasant and very caring.

Honestly couldn't recommend anyone more. From start to finish I have been kept informed and reassured with everything. Any questions I had Berat answered quickly and made me feel very comfortable going forward with the surgery. I had the surgery less that a week ago and I am already massively happy with the results I have and can't wait till I am fully healed for the finished look! If anyone is unsure of travelling to Turkey or who to go with regarding surgey, TravelMedi is for sure the best!

Most Popular and Frequently Asked

iLASIK Questions

Watery eyes, itching, aching, having difficulties in reading, blurry vision, squinting, headaches are the main indicators of eye disorders.

Our main aim is to provide the same quality of vision that you have with your glasses. The results 0,5 and below are considered as successful and the patient does not need to use glasses or lenses anymore. Laser treatment is the best when performed in a stable period (1 year) in terms of eye prescription. If the patient’s eye number increases when the procedure is done, it may continue to increase after too.

After having i-LASIK and LASIK methods that require a corneal flap, you may feel pain, aching or burning sensation for 6 hours. Whereas in LASEK or PRK methods where flap is not made but corneal tissue is scraped and folded, you can have pain for 2-3 days. In order to reduce this pain it is recommended to use protective contact lenses.

It is normal to have dry eyes for some time after the surgery and it is recommended to use artificial tear drops for this dryness. Within time this problem will disappear naturally and you will not have to use drops anymore.

Laser surgeries can very well fix astigmatism, along with myopia and hypermetropia.

In laser treatments the main aim is to decrease the vision acuity number to – / + 0,50. 6 months after your procedure, if there is still a higher acuity number, you can have the treatment again after an examination to see if you still have enough thickness of cornea, with the help of pachymetry, orbscan and corneal topography. If you are suitable to have another surgery, your surgeon will not make a new flap, but use the old incision where your first flap was made.

After your consultation, your doctor will recommend you the best method suitable for you, based on your corneal thickness and shape.
