Excimer Laser
Excimer Laser Treatment
Excimer laser is an effective treatment method used to correct refractive errors in the eyes. This treatment is used to achieve successful results in correcting eye defects such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Excimer laser treatment is a personalized procedure. Each individual's eye structure is different, so a detailed eye examination is necessary before treatment. An expert eye doctor evaluates the patient to determine the most appropriate treatment options.
How Does Excimer Laser Work?
Excimer laser corrects eye defects by shaping tissues on the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, in a thin and delicate manner. This laser technology aims to optimize the focusing ability of light to achieve clear and sharp vision.
Treatment Process
Excimer laser treatment is usually completed in a very short time and allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally painless.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Excimer laser treatment is generally suitable for individuals over 18 years of age with stable eye prescription and meeting certain health criteria. However, each patient should consult with an expert eye doctor considering their specific condition.
