It has been applied for 27 years in the world and 25 years ago in our country Op. Dr. In laser operations service assistance brought by Turkey Medicals, all myopia up to Number 10, hypermetropies up to number 7 and astigmatism can be treated. In recent years, intraocular lens application is performed safely in myopies above Number 10. Intraocular lenses can be applied to myopia up to number 25, astigmatism number 7, resulting in a 20-point increase in visual acuity. Because it is an out-of-the-eye operation, there is no risk of permanent damage and blindness if it is performed by an experienced doctor with a good technique.

WHAT IS A ‘SMART LENS’ THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED SO OFTEN LATELY, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
.
Multi-focus lenses, popularly known as ‘smart lenses’, are lenses placed during into the Turkey eye cataract surgery. I’ve been applying these lenses to 90 percent of patients in Turkey for over 10 years. With the advancement of technology of multifocal lenses in Turkey, patients began to see closely after cataract surgery well, and these lenses began to be used much more often. In order to ensure good vision far and near, as well as good vision at medium distance, we have started to apply trifocal, that is, three-focus lenses. Middle distance; at distances where vision quality should be important, such as computer use distance, car indicator distance, vision became clearer in three-focus lenses. But these lenses may not suit everyone. The experience of the doctor is very important in determining who to apply it to very well. Patient satisfaction is undoubtedly much greater when the right application is applied to the right patient and a high-quality lens is worn.

RETURN TO NORMAL LIFE ONE DAY AFTER EYE TREATMENT IN TURKEY
.
Eye diseases and surgery specialist Op. Dr. in Turkey ” Multifocal, that is, two-focus lenses have close and far focus characteristics. Patients see the distance between 40-80 cm blurred. Although this distance is an underused distance in daily life, the need to see this distance has also appeared in some patients. But thanks to the trifocal (three-focus) lenses, this problem has also been eliminated,” he says.

HOW IS ‘SMART LENS’ (INTRAOCULAR LENS) SURGERY PERFORMED?
.
Turkey Cataract surgery Operator Doctor states” brought to our country 27 years ago and known as laser phaco technique is made. It takes between 5-10 minutes for each eye. During the operation, the patient does not feel pain and pain. The eye is washed with special drugs and liquids; it is numbed. The treatment is completed by removing cataract lens and inserting the Multi-Focus Lens. “The day after treatment, immediately after your control, you can return to your daily life and start doing your social activities.
.
.
WHO CAN APPLY’ SMART LENS ‘ AND IS THE TREATMENT PERMANENT?
.
The ‘Smart lens’ is applied to patients with far and near vision problems with cataracts and to people with high eyeglasses whose eyes are not suitable for laser treatment. These multi-focus lenses, popularly called ‘smart lenses’, are not constantly worn and removed like the lenses we know. It attaches once and stays in the eye for life.
.
.
CAN ‘SMART LENSES’ BE COLORED IN TURKEY?
.
Intraocular lenses are not like contact lenses worn on top of the eye. Because it settles in the eye, it is not obvious when viewed from the outside, and they cannot be colored.
.
.
SHOULD THESE LENSES BE APPLIED TO ALL PATIENTS WITH NEAR AND FAR VISION PROBLEMS?
.
This practice is ultimately a cataract surgery. Cataract eye surgery in Turkey requires much more care. Because these lenses should be very well centered and do not slip in any way. In addition, after surgery, the distance number must be set very close to zero, so a special experience is essential. If the number remains away, after two months the remaining number is reduced to zero again by laser.
.
.
WHAT IS ‘SUPRACOR’, A CLOSE LASER TECHNIQUE IN TURKEY?
.
We apply a close-up laser technique called ‘supracor’ instead of an intraocular lens to young patients who do not have cataracts. We call ‘presbyopia’ the problem of not seeing the nearer clearly that occurs after the age of 40. Those who have never had eye problems before may also start having problems reading books and newspapers, sewing or working on a computer after the age of 40. Presbyopia, an age-related near-vision problem, should not be confused with hypermetropia that occurs when a child or teenager. After presbyopia begins to develop, a person needs to keep the book, journal, or menu at a distance of more than 35-40 CM, which is the reading distance. In addition to blurred vision, there are headaches, eye pain, fatigue and drowsiness when reading. Supracor is a lasik method that can correct far and near vision in one session. Thanks to its own special software, the cornea is gently reshaped by applying ‘excimer laser’ to the cornea. Purpose of Supracor treatment; it is to improve your eyesight so that you can read the articles you encounter every day on a newspaper, restaurant menu, computer or mobile phone without glasses. In a single session, the problem of both distant and close vision is corrected. It is applied to both eyes and is a 10-minute operation. Pain and pain are not felt during the operation. There are some eligibility criteria for Supracor. After these are detected by examination and measurements, treatment can be applied. Supracor can also be applied to any eye suitable for the Lasik laser eye surgery method in Turkey.
