It is very important to wait for these ages as the eye number stops progressing. If you are over these ages, your eye number is expected to have not changed within 1 year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another eligibility criterion is the degree of eye impairment. Eye numbers up to 10 in myopia, 4 in hypermetropia, and 6 in astigmatism can be corrected with surgery. Apart from these, issues such as the corneal layer being of sufficient thickness and the corneal topography being normal are also taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Also, not having any other eye disease is among the important criteria before surgery. It is expected that the patient will not have any problems with the retina and will not experience excessive <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">dryness of the eye<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . After all checks and tests are examined and approved by the specialist physician, it is determined whether the patient is suitable for <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">laser surgery .<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tm-responsive-video video-youtube tm-responsive-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Lazer Ameliyat\u0131nda \u0130deal Yas\u0327 Nedir?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dd1_WM0sjmk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2) At what age can eye contouring surgery be performed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">People who do not want to wear glasses or use contact lenses from a young age want to undergo <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">eye surgery<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . However, the general limit <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">for eye contour surgery<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is 18 years of age. There is no harm in having this surgery for people over the age of 18. It is also necessary to pay attention to the upper limit for these surgeries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is generally known that the 18-55 age range is the most ideal group. Eye development is not 100% complete in people under the age of 18. For this reason, a surgery performed at this age may bring certain risks. Of course, age is not the only criterion before surgery. However, one of the primary criteria that physicians pay attention to is the age of the person.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">3) What are the Types of Laser Eye Surgery?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">New technologies and approaches in laser eye surgery<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> significantly increase the success rate. Today, when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/lazer-ameliyati\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">laser eye surgery<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is mentioned, &#8220;No Touch Laser&#8221;, &#8220;LASIK&#8221; and &#8220;SMILE&#8221; methods come to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is no personal contact <strong>in the No Touch application<\/strong> . Before the procedure, the eye is anesthetized with a special drop. The most important advantage of this application is that it is a type of vacuum application and results in a contactless manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The disadvantage is that the pain may last relatively longer. Clarity in vision begins to occur after an average of 4-5 days. <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">LASIK application<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is a common method that has been preferred for many years. A flap is created in the corneal area with a special device. The procedure continues by sending laser beams to the tissue under the corneal flap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this safe application, the patient does not feel pain at any stage. In SMILE application, no flap is created, a layer of cornea is removed through a small incision. In these applications, visual clarity occurs the very next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2021 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi.jpg\" alt=\"Laser Surgery\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lazer-ameliyati-uygulamasi-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">4) How to Decide Which Laser Surgery to Perform?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are generally minor differences between the applications mentioned above, but the specialist physician is responsible for deciding which application is more suitable for the person. For this reason, inspection and testing procedures before application are decisive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A person&#8217;s corneal thickness level and eye number come to the fore in the evaluation of physicians. In addition, the results from corneal topography greatly affect which method is decided on. On the other hand, it may be possible to make a clear decision based on the person&#8217;s disease history, allergic sensitivities, age, and the current status of the eye damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">5) Up to what size eye line surgery is performed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The number of eye contouring surgeries<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> may vary depending on the application. For example, in Lasik application, if the person&#8217;s eye structure is suitable, it is possible to achieve success up to 8-10 numbers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/miyop\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">in myopia<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . In mixed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/astigmat\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">astigmatism<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , it is generally possible to achieve success up to size 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/hipermetrop\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A similar situation is encountered<a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/hipermetrop\/\"><strong> in hypermetropia<\/strong><\/a> . However, it is useful to consider special circumstances regarding the structure of the eye. For much higher numbers, it would be more reasonable to seek support from lens implantation surgery for the long-term safety of the patient or visual success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=905339752396\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1.png\" alt=\"Laser Surgery\" width=\"1200\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1-600x125.png 600w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1-1024x213.png 1024w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Lazer-Ameliyati-1-768x160.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">6) Is Lasik Surgery a Painful Procedure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">One of the most concerns about <strong>Lasik surgery<\/strong> is whether the surgery causes pain or not. First of all, it should be known that <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lasik surgeries<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> are performed in a very short time, such as 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lasik application<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is a painless surgery. In addition to not feeling any pain or discomfort, the problems experienced by the patient due to eye defects will disappear. So much so that some surgeries can be performed in very short periods of time, such as 3 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">After this surgery, your need to wear glasses or contact lenses may decrease or even disappear completely. Specialist physicians will provide you with the necessary information about <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lasik surgery<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> before, during and after the surgery and will reassure you by answering your questions about your pain and anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">During surgery, you may only feel slight pressure on the surface of the eye. A few hours after the procedure, you may encounter minor and temporary problems such as itching and dryness. Your doctor will give you eye drops for this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">7) Who Cannot Have Laser Surgery?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We can state that laser surgeries<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> are not suitable for everyone, considering the consequences that may occur as a result of the application. In this sense, we can talk about certain criteria as to who cannot have <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">eye surgery .<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, it is technically not possible for individuals under the age of 18 to undergo this surgery. On the other hand, people whose <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">eye number<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> changes frequently or whose eye number is quite high are also considered in the risk group. In addition, these surgeries are not considered suitable for individuals with a thin cornea, those with high levels <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">of dry eyes<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , or pregnant women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Beyond being pregnant, similar sensitivity applies to women who are breastfeeding. By the way, laser surgery is not recommended for people with a corneal condition called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/keratokonus-tedavisi\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">keratoconus .<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">8) Is there any harm in drawing eyes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The success rate in eye drawing<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> applications is quite high. For example, the possibility of worsening vision after Lasik application is almost non-existent compared to before. However, as with all medical interventions, it would be appropriate to mention certain risks in these surgeries, even if they are below 1%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Among the complications in question: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/goz-kurulugu\/\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Eye dryness<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , eye glare, permanent small degrees, corneal valve slippage and flap complications can be listed. On the other hand, it is possible to talk about results such as the epithelium growing towards the inner part or the cornea becoming oval towards the front area. In addition, although very rare, infections with wound formation may occur. <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Eye scratching<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> operations are a safe, approved and high-tech practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For your questions about laser eye surgery, you can contact us via our Whatsapp contact line.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=905339752396\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-609 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusgoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti.jpg\" alt=\"whatsapp communication line\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti-600x100.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drcagatay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/whatsapp-iletisim-hatti-768x128.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">9) How Long Does It Take to Heal After Eye Removal Surgery?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">After eye contouring surgery,<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> vision is expected to become clear for about a month. Supportive treatments are applied within three months. At the end of this process, vision is expected to become clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Of course, control times may vary depending on the laser treated eye and eye defects. The results of Lasik surgeries may vary depending on the light refraction problem in the patient&#8217;s eye and other problems in the eye. It reports that 8 out of 10 patients no longer wear glasses or contact lenses after their surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is important not to rub or scratch the eye for the first 4 days after the surgery, not to do heavy exercises for about 1 month, and not to touch the eye with water for the first week. It is recommended to use UV filtered sunglasses outside for the first month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">10) How is the Eye Scratch Surgery Price Determined?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you are tired of wearing glasses, you can turn to eye surgery,<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> which is a high-tech and safe option . However, at this stage, it would be beneficial to research the current prices of the surgeries in question. It would not be the right way to talk about standard values \u200b\u200bin this regard. Because pricing can be determined according to the person&#8217;s eye structure, the level of the eye problem, and the method to be applied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The examination you will perform before the surgery will give you a great idea about this. <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Eye contouring surgery prices<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> issue; It may vary depending on the doctor who will perform the procedure, the hospital, the location of the hospital, the technical facilities of the hospital, and the hospital&#8217;s previous references regarding <\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">laser eye surgeries<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> .
