Eye Improvement

Eye Healing Treatments

Visual impairments are vision problems that occur as a result of the eyes not functioning properly. Visual impairments can occur in many different ways and may be caused by problems in one or more areas of the eyes. Treatment of vision disorders depends on the cause of the vision problem. Glasses, contact lenses, or eye exercises are effective treatments for vision disorders in some cases. In more serious cases, surgical intervention may be required.

No Touch Laser

No touch laser is a laser technology used in the treatment of eye diseases. No-touch laser performs treatment by sending high-intensity laser beams into the eye without touching the eye surface. Therefore it is also known as “contactless laser”.

No touch laser can be used in the treatment of many eye conditions such as eye disorders, eye pressure, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, cataracts and laser vision correction. No touch laser is less invasive than other laser treatments because the laser beams do not directly contact the eye and increases the patient’s comfort.

During no touch laser treatment, the patient sits comfortably and laser beams are sent to the eye vessels using local anesthesia drops on the eye surface. During no touch laser treatment, there is no contact or use of tools on the eye surface and therefore it is considered a painless and quick procedure.

No touch laser treatment can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the eye condition. After the procedure, the patient can immediately return to normal activities and does not need any special care. However, a temporary visual impairment or light sensitivity may occur after no touch laser treatment.

Smart Lens

Smart lens surgery is the process of inserting a smart lens instead of a natural lens during cataract surgery. This procedure is a surgery performed to remove the cloudiness inside the eye and restore the eye’s ability to focus.

Smart lenses have the ability to focus on objects at different distances by replacing the natural lenses inside the eye. This feature allows people to look clearly at objects at near or far distances. Thus, people have clear vision at both far and near distances and the need to use glasses or contact lenses is reduced.

Smart lens surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and a microscope is used during the procedure. The surgeon removes the natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a smart lens. The procedure usually takes 20-30 minutes, and most patients discharged on the same day can immediately return to their normal activities.

Smart lens surgery is often recommended for cataract patients, but may also be suitable for anyone with eye focusing problems. Smart lens surgery can improve quality of life by reducing the use of glasses. However, like any surgical procedure, smart lens surgery carries potential risks and complications.
