Excimer Laser
Excimer Laser Technology: Advanced Vision Correction Treatment
Excimer laser technology is one of the most widely used and reliable methods for correcting refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. At Özel Sistem Eye Medical Center, excimer laser treatments are performed using advanced laser systems and personalized treatment planning.
What is Excimer Laser?
Excimer laser is a "cold laser" technology that uses ultraviolet light to reshape the cornea with micron-level precision without generating heat damage to surrounding structures.
Which Vision Problems Can Be Treated?
- Myopia
- Hyperopia
- Astigmatism
Laser Procedures Using Excimer Technology
LASIK and iLASIK
A corneal flap is created and the underlying tissue is reshaped. Recovery is usually fast and comfortable.
PRK
Surface laser treatment commonly preferred for thinner corneas.
No Touch Laser (Trans-PRK)
Completely touch-free laser procedure treating both epithelial and stromal layers in a single step.
Treatment Process
Detailed eye examinations are performed before treatment, including corneal topography, thickness measurement, eye pressure evaluation, and comprehensive refractive analysis.
Numbing eye drops are applied before treatment. The laser procedure usually takes only seconds for each eye.
