No Touch Laser Treatment

Getting rid of your glasses and lenses with laser treatment without touching your eyes is now easier than you think. Details of the technique called "NO TOUCH LASER"were given by Veni Vidi Eye Hospital experts Op.Dr. We asked Özer Kavalcıoğlu.

How can No Touch Laser be performed without touching the eyes?

Classic Unlike Lasik and femtosecond laser, “No Touch is applied without making any incisions inside the eye with a special knife or laser, and without removing the thin layer called the flap. ” method is used in the treatment of eye refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia. While doing this, we change the refraction and shape of the corneal layer of the eye. In No Touch Laser treatment, the patient's eyes are anesthetized with drops, he just opens his eyes and looks at a green light on the device, and the laser light he looks at makes the necessary correction in the eye in about 30 seconds. During the application, the patient does not experience discomfort, does not feel pain, and there is no stinging or burning.

Which patients can No Touch Laser be applied to?

Whether the eye has myopia, hypermetropia or asigmatism. , we can correct all these defects in a single session. It is a method that is applied very successfully even in the most complex eye disorders where hyperopia and astigmatism, which are known to be more difficult to correct, coexist.

One of the most important advantages of No Touch Laser treatment is that laser treatment cannot be performed with incision methods since the cornea is thin. Laser treatment can also be applied to patients who are considered risky because their corneal surface is irregular.

This can also be applied to patients who have had a corneal transplant surgery and have developed a high eye number, and to patients who have previously undergone cataract surgery and had an intraocular lens inserted but whose eye number could not be reset. The method is used safely.

Why should we choose No Touch Laser?

In the classical membrane removal method performed by cutting the cornea, wrinkling of this membrane occurs in the days after the treatment. While problems such as the development of inflammation under the skin may occur, these drawbacks are eliminated in the "No Touch" treatment.

No Touch Laser technique is also an ideal method for those who do active sports. The person can even participate in a boxing match if he/she wishes, starting from the 4th day of the surgery. Again, after the fourth day, everything is free: pool, sea, shower, bath.

You don't have to worry about moving your eyes during the procedure. Because the device is locked on the eye, when the patient moves his eye, the treatment automatically stops at that second, and when the patient looks at the light on the device again, the treatment automatically continues from where it left off. In this method, the device monitors your eye and adjusts itself according to the eye movement. So, for those who put safety first, No-Touch Laser is the ideal method.

Will the numbers come back within a few years after the treatment?

No, it is promised that the numbers will come back again. It is not the subject. The important thing here is to specifically evaluate the eye condition of each patient and to inform the patient in detail about his or her eye condition.

Before the treatment. What should we pay attention to after?

The only thing that people who have undergone treatment should pay attention to is that they wear sunglasses outside for a month after the treatment.

After the “No Touch” treatment, the patients have to wear sunglasses without prescription. There is no harm in using colored contact lenses.
