Femto Smile

Femto Smile

Femto SMILE technology is one of the latest and most precise laser vision correction techniques, used to treat nearsightedness and astigmatism. This technology represents a revolution in eye surgery because it combines high accuracy with minimal surgical intervention. How does Femto SMILE technology work? This type of laser is used to create a very thin lens inside the cornea. Then, the surgeon removes this lens through a very small incision (about 2-4 mm only) without needing to cut or lift a part of the cornea (as happens in LASIK). This reshapes the cornea and improves the focus of light on the retina, thus correcting vision. Advantages of Femto SMILE technology: ✅ Less surgical intervention: no need to create a flap or lift part of the cornea. ✅ Less pain during and after the procedure. ✅ Faster recovery and quicker return to normal life. ✅ Lower chance of dry eye compared to techniques like LASIK. ✅ Suitable for people with relatively thin corneas. Who is Femto SMILE suitable for? Patients with nearsightedness up to -10 diopters. Patients with astigmatism up to -5 diopters. People with thin corneas or those at risk due to certain sports (since it does not require creating a flap).

PRK

PRK

Surface laser technology is one of the oldest vision correction techniques and is used to treat nearsightedness and astigmatism. In this type of procedure, the thin outer layer of the cornea is removed, then the surface of the cornea is reshaped using an excimer laser, which helps improve the focus of light on the retina and correct vision. After the procedure, a temporary therapeutic contact lens is placed to protect the eye and aid healing, and it is removed one week after the surgery. Advantages of the technique: Suitable for people with thin corneas or those not eligible for procedures like LASIK. Safe and stable over the long term. Does not require creating a corneal flap, reducing the risk of certain complications. Recovery period: The patient usually needs several days to recover, with some discomfort possible during the first few days. Medical eye drops are recommended for a period after the procedure to ensure proper corneal healing.

Lasik

Lasik

LASIK is one of the most common vision correction techniques in the world, used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure aims to reshape the cornea's surface using a laser, correcting the path of light inside the eye and improving vision quality without the need for glasses or contact lenses. 🧬 How is the procedure performed? Local anesthesia for the eye using drops. The doctor creates a thin flap in the cornea using a precise tool or a special laser. An excimer laser is used to reshape the corneal tissue according to the patient's refractive error. The flap is repositioned without stitches, as it heals automatically in a short time. ✅ Advantages of LASIK: Quick and safe procedure (takes 10–15 minutes for both eyes). Nearly immediate vision improvement. Return to daily activities within 24–48 hours. No pain during the procedure. Precise, long-lasting results. 📌 Who is a suitable candidate for LASIK? Those with mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Individuals with adequate corneal thickness. Over 18 years old with stable vision. No corneal diseases, immune disorders, or severe dry eye. ⚠️ Important notes: Patients may experience slight dryness or glare at night during recovery. Not recommended for those with very thin corneas or corneal structural abnormalities. At our center, we use the latest globally approved laser technologies and follow strict protocols to ensure the highest safety and quality results.

ICL

ICL

ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Surgery is one of the most advanced and precise vision correction techniques available in ophthalmology. It is considered an ideal option for individuals who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or Femto-LASIK procedures—especially in cases of high myopia (nearsightedness) or thin corneas. In this procedure, a flexible and precise lens is implanted inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens, without removing any part of the cornea. This makes the procedure safe, reversible, and non-permanent in terms of its effect on the eye's structure. 💡 Advantages of ICL Surgery: Precise correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism Suitable for cases that cannot be treated with laser surgery Does not affect or alter the shape of the cornea Provides clear and stable vision shortly after surgery The lens can be removed later if needed 🧑‍⚕️ Who is ICL surgery suitable for? Individuals with high degrees of myopia Those with thin or irregular corneas Patients over the age of 21 whose vision has stabilized Those seeking a long-term, precise solution without removing any eye tissue The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, takes only a few minutes, involves a short recovery period, and often delivers immediate results. At our center, we use the latest globally approved ICL lenses and rely on the expertise of a specialized team in vision correction surgeries to ensure the highest standards of safety and precision.
