WEARING GLASSES IS HISTORY
.
Turkey Medicals, Foreigner Medical Services who has been working many years with eye clinics in Turkey, said: “With Smile laser technology, we get successful results even in very low and very high-grade eye disorders. Wearing glasses is history,” is said
No doubt our eyes are one of our most valuable organs… so eye health is also very important… Some people have to wear glasses for life due to congenital and some due to subsequent visual disorders. But with the development of technologies in eye treatment in recent years reaching the upper limits, it is now possible to completely get rid of glasses. Associate Professor, eye laser and cataract specialist in Turkey who has worked abroad for many years and has an eye clinic in Antalya. Numbered glasses are applied to patients who wear laser and lens treatment technologies and glasses are completely discarded, he said.
Here’s that interview:

THE SURFACE IS USED AS GLASSES
- What are the latest developments in eye treatment? I need to divide it in two. First, there are lasers, and second, there are intraocular lenses. There are new technologies being implemented at 40 and under, 40 and over. Before the laser, there was a technique called RK. It was an operation that made scratches on the cornea. The laser actually has nothing to do with this drawing, but the word ‘drawing’ is left over from this first method. The laser works by shaping the surface by shaving. The laser draws a model of some kind of glasses or contact lens on the transparent corneal layer, which is cambered like clock glass on the surface of the eye. In other words, it uses the surface of the eye as a kind of glasses. Laser treatment is exactly this…

THE RISK IS ALMOST MINIMAL
- Is there a Risk factor? If the correctly selected patient is done by the right person with a good tool and a good technique, it can be called not. The first generation of laser technology was a shape applied directly to the surface of the eye. Our Cretan colleague Prof. Dr. The second generation of laser surgery developed by the Lasik method, which also passed to the literature. Added to this is the Smile laser technology in Antalya Turkey is the most amazing technology of recent periods.
.
ALSO APPLIED TO DRY EYES
- What is the reason why you refer to Smile laser technology as great? In the second generation, which we call Lasik eye surgery in Antalya Turkey, we cut and remove a slice from the surface of the cornea, apply laser treatment to the underlying tissue and close the tissue that we have removed again. Here, the goal was to remove the part that created the eye number from the corneal tissue. In Smile laser technology, which we call the third generation, we make this part that we want to remove from the cornea layer directly inside the cornea without touching the eye. Next to this, we only make a 2-millimeter scratch. We pull this piece out of the 2-millimeter ground and the process is complete. We don’t touch the layer that acts as a shield outside the eye. For him, he can even box a few days after the operation. Your eye doesn’t need special protection. Eye laser in Turkey can also be applied on dry eyes or dry eyes.
.
- Will wearers of thick-lens glasses also be able to throw away glasses with this treatment? Of course… let’s just say we’re above 10 degrees and under 40. In these, there is a method that we call intraocular lenses. Imagine a very microscopic model of glasses that we place in the eye. He stays there for life. With this, we can fix numbered eyes up to 20 degrees. It’s laser-corrected to 10 degrees. I have a patient with a 32-degree number that I corrected with this method.
.
- What will happen to those over 40? The lenses used in cataract operations have also developed a lot and have come to the point of being very focused, not single-focused. When we put the lens in the eye, we treat it both close and far. All the focus becomes visible and does not change for a lifetime.
.
- What should we do for our eye health? What should we look out for for our eye health? As soon as they are 6 months old, their children should see an Turkey ophthalmologists… even if everything is normal, they should definitely see an ophthalmologist at the age of 2. Even more attention should be paid if there are known eye diseases in the family. If none of this has been done, you should go to an ophthalmologist when you reach primary school age. When there is a difference in number between the two simplest eyes and it is not detected, it becomes irreversible. Eyes that are different between the two eyes must be corrected with glasses. No lasers before the age of 18. Applies to those aged 21 and over.

OPHTHALMOLOGISTS NEED TO BE LIKE FORMULA 1 DRIVERS
- Cataract operations are now being stopped and considered. People lost an eye in under-stair centres. It seems very simple when we talk about it, but it’s all surgical procedures. With an accurate measurement in an accurate center, you need tests and the right doctor to do the job. And the patient has to be the right person to practice. To everyone that came to the front, you cannot. Advances in cars, planes, or other technologies are somehow just like in medicine. It even goes a few steps faster. So the doctor also needs to be up-to-date to follow these developments. In terms of purchasing these technologies, the Eye Centers in Turkey also need to be up-to-date. Technology is developing so fast that we need to be the doctors who use this technology the most and best, not just ordinary doctors. This is like the difference between a normal person driving a car and a pilot driving Formula 1. They both needed special skills and training to drive the car but one.
