A Lasting Eye Solution with Laser

Vision improves within hours after LASIK; clear vision is achieved within 24–48 hours. Eye drops are needed for about 1 week, along with avoiding contact from foreign objects. A check-up is done in week 1 and a re-assessment in month 1.

Modern wavefront-guided LASIK has significantly reduced halo and night vision problems. Mild night glare in the first 1–3 months is normal; in the vast majority, it disappears by month 3. Pupil size and the amount of aberration affect this risk and are evaluated in the pre-examination.

In people who have had LASIK, intraocular pressure measurements must be interpreted differently; this information should be shared with your ophthalmologist during glaucoma monitoring. If cataract surgery is needed, your LASIK history is taken into account in the lens calculations.

Yes. Simultaneous bilateral LASIK is the standard practice worldwide; it's a safe choice that improves patient comfort.

The lower limit is 18 years (21 at some clinics); the prescription must be stable. There's no upper age limit; however, cataracts or intraocular changes that develop with age can affect the treatment plan.

It varies by the platform used (WaveLight, Schwind), whether wavefront analysis is included, and the check-up package. For both eyes, the cost in Istanbul is 40–60% below European prices; all check-ups and eye drops are included in the package.

LASIK success doesn't change with age; however, in patients 40+, the need for reading glasses for near vision may persist. Monovision LASIK (one eye for near, the other for far) can reduce this need, but it requires an adaptation period.
