LASER EYE SURGERY

Laser Eye Surgery in Antalya, Turkey | LASIK & PRK by Dr. Emir Doğan

Say goodbye to glasses and contact lenses with advanced Laser Eye Surgery in Antalya. Specialized Ophthalmologist Dr. Emir Doğan offers customized LASIK, PRK, and Smile laser treatments for clear, sharp vision with rapid recovery.

What is No Touch Laser (Trans-PRK)  Eye Surgery

No Touch Laser  is a touch-free laser eye correction method used with Excimer Laser systems. Unlike with conventional methods like LASEK, Epi-LASIK , with TransPRK the eye is not touched with any instrument. Instead, the TransPRK removes the epithelium, without suction, flap, or blade, and without the use of alcohol. This touch-free procedure is non-invasive, safe, and gentle to the eye.

TransPRK is a new one-step, incision-free procedure. Using the one laser, the epithelium is gently removed and the cornea precisely reshaped. The laser removes a microscopic amount of stromal tissue, calculated on the pre-operative analysis and determination of the power of your eye. The procedure enables the contour of the cornea to be reshaped in less than one minute.

       After the cornea of the eye has been re-contoured, clear contact lenses are used to reduce discomfort during the healing of the epithelium and provide protection for the eye. The contact lenses are usually removed 3-4 days after surgery at your first post-operative assessment.

       Treatment takes place directly on the upper surface of the cornea. There are no cut or flap complications. This non-invasive method leaves a very stable cornea and thus provides more safety for the patient.

Who is suitable for laser eye surgery?

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Stable eyeglass and contact lense prescription for at least 2 years
  • Stable vision over at least the past year

  • No history or findings of active corneal disease
  • No significant medical or eye problems, such as previous corneal ulcers, keratoconus , diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, or glaucoma
  • No significant dry eye
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding

Why choose TransPRK over LASIK?

TransPRK is just as effective as LASIK in correcting your vision . But the most important reason why we prefer transPRK is the fact that it leaves a stronger cornea.  And a transPRK is safer than LASIK surgery.

How painful is No Touch Laser?

No, it is not difficult because both eyes are numbed with anesthetic eye drops. However, the eyes may be uncomfortable for 2-3 days after the treatment as the outer layer of the eye, known as the epithelium, recovers. Patients will be given medications and drop to relieve the pain.

Is No Touch Laser risky?

Since No-Touch  only involves the use of lasers to remove the top layer of the cornea, there is also no risk of complications associated with a flap. No-Touch  is associated with a very low risk of complications.

Is No Touch Laser permanent?

Your cornea is reshaped by a laser called the Excimer laser to change the way light bends into your eye, enabling you to see clearly again. The laser goes on the treated zone to reshape the cornea curvature to correct the refractive power in one step seamlessly. This effect is permanent!
