The eye is known as our most sensitive organ. For this reason, it is necessary to be very conscious about the operations performed on the eye. Astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia problems that occur frequently in society can lead to undesirable situations. In order to get rid of these problems permanently, excimer laser treatment known as eye drawing is applied.
PERMANENTLY CLEAR VISION CAN BE PROVIDED
Eye Health and Diseases Specialist Opr. Dr. Nükhet Zaim said, “Excimer laser method eliminates refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) in people older than 18 years of age and with suitable eye structure. It can provide permanent uninterrupted clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Eye Health and Diseases Specialist Opr. Dr. Nükhet Zaim made statements about the “excimer laser” treatment, also known as eye drawing among the people.
THE PROCESS TAKE 20 SECONDS
Saying that the eye drawing process is quite simple and is carried out in a short time, Opr. Dr. Zaim said, “The excimer laser method, which provides reshaping of the cornea with laser, is one of the most preferred methods in the treatment of visual defects today. With this method, myopia up to 10, hyperopia up to 4, and astigmatism up to 6 can be corrected in the appropriate eye structure. After the laser procedure, which does not require hospitalization, we discharge our patients on the same day. During the laser application, our patient does not feel any pain or ache, and we finish the procedure in a very short period of time, about 20 seconds. We can treat both eyes at the same time, and we recommend that they rest for 4 to 5 hours after laser treatment, with their eyes open.”
EYE STRUCTURE MUST BE SUITABLE FOR LASER TREATMENT
Stating that the doctor will decide whether the eyes are suitable for the excimer laser, Opr. Dr. Zaim said, “Excimer laser method is an application that should be applied to patients with suitable eye structure. It is determined according to the results of the complete eye examination and the tests to be performed. The first examination includes a series of detailed examinations to plan the most suitable and safest treatment method for your eye, and it is an important preparatory step as much as the procedure itself.
YOU CAN GET BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY
Referring to the effects that may occur in the individual after the procedure, Opr. Dr. Zaim said, “After the procedure, eye redness, discomfort from light, stinging sensation in the eyes and temporary blurred vision may be experienced for a short time for up to 4 hours. Burning, watering and blurred vision in the eyes are normal up to 4 to 5 hours after the operation. Drops given every 1 to 2 hours should be used. Our patients can easily return to their daily work after the control examination to be carried out the next day.”
