What is LASIK (Bilateral)?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the world's most popular refractive eye surgery, correcting myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. At MedProper Istanbul, we use bladeless femtosecond technology that creates an ultra-thin corneal flap with a laser instead of a blade, reshaping the underlying tissue to restore clear vision. The procedure treats both eyes in a single 15-minute session with results noticeable within hours.
How Does LASIK (Bilateral) Work?
- 1Comprehensive eye examination including corneal topography, pachymetry, and pupil mapping to confirm LASIK candidacy.
- 2Numbing drops are applied and a femtosecond laser creates a precise, thin corneal flap — no blades are used.
- 3An excimer laser reshapes the corneal tissue underneath according to your exact prescription, correcting the refractive error.
- 4The flap is gently repositioned where it naturally adheres without stitches — the entire process takes about 15 minutes for both eyes.
- 5You rest briefly in the clinic and are discharged the same day with protective eye shields and medicated drops.
Who is a Good Candidate for LASIK (Bilateral)?
- Adults aged 18+ with a stable prescription (unchanged for at least 12 months)
- Patients with myopia up to -10D, hyperopia up to +4D, or astigmatism up to 5D
- Individuals with adequate corneal thickness (typically above 500 microns)
- People who want rapid visual recovery and minimal discomfort
- Those without autoimmune conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, or active eye infections
