SMILE EYE LASER - Treatments - Op. Dr. Özgül Uğurtay

SMILE laser eye surgery is performed using the VisuMax femtosecond laser, Carl Zeiss Meditec's proprietary technology.

In the SMILE procedure, the surgeon uses a femtosecond laser to create a small, lens-shaped piece of tissue (lenticle) within the cornea.

Then, a small arc-shaped incision is made on the corneal surface with the same laser, and the surgeon removes and discards the lenticule from this incision.

When the tiny lenticule is removed, the shape of the cornea changes and myopia is corrected. The corneal incision heals in a few days without stitches and sharper vision is achieved very quickly.

SMILE laser eye surgery can correct -10.00 diopters (D) farsightedness. Candidates must be at least 22 years old and have astigmatism - no more than 0.50 D, and their eyeglasses must be stable for at least 12 months.

VISUAL EXAMINATION IN CHILDREN

VISUAL EXAMINATION IN CHILDREN

Visual examination in children is very important. Because at this age, we can prevent many diseases early. The sooner we can diagnose, the faster and more beneficial we can get.
LOWER EYELID AESTHETICS

LOWER EYELID AESTHETICS

Lower eyelid aesthetics is more complicated and important than upper eyelid aesthetics. Because this region contains many anatomically important structures. The surgeon's experience and anatomical knowledge should be at the forefront.
UPPER EYELİD SURGERY

UPPER EYELİD SURGERY

Upper eyelid aesthetics is an operation under local anesthesia where the comfort of the patient does not decrease. It takes approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. Before the operation, measurements are taken for eyelid symmetry and error-free surgery, which takes 15-20 minutes.
CATARACT

WHAT IS SMART LENS?

They are lenses with technology that are inserted into the eye and provide distance, medium and near vision.
UPPER AND LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY

UPPER AND LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is an application applied to the lower and upper eyelids, during which eye contour tissues are stretched and sagging skin and excess muscle tissue removed. Blepharoplasty is generally performed in combination with eyebrow lifting and midface surgery.
VITRECTOMY

VITRECTOMY

Vitrectomy is the process of separating and discharging the gel that fills the space in a large area at the back of the eye. Emptying this gel, called vitreous, allows the vitreoretinal surgeon to reach the retina. Vitrectomy is considered a treatment method for many diseases.
SMILE EYE LASER

SMILE EYE LASER

SMILE (lenticule extraction from small incision) is a laser vision correction surgery similar to LASIK. If you are interested in laser surgery to correct farsightedness, here is what you need to know about this procedure.
VISION DEFECTS

VISION DEFECTS

Myopia is an eye condition that can be treated, the eyes can see close to the eyes comfortably and cannot see far.
GLAUCOMA

GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma is a serious vision-threatening disease characterized by the loss of function of the optic nerve. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause vision loss.
DRY EYE

DRY EYE

Tears are the protective mechanism that keeps the eye healthy by moisturizing the surface of the eye. Tear production is reduced in some people.
RETINAL DISEASES

RETINAL DISEASES

The retina is the mesh layer that covers the posterior wall of the eyeball and is made up of vision cells. Diseases that occur in the retina directly threaten our sense of vision.
