Cataracts deteriorate with time. They will impair your ability to drive, read, and see at night over time. Cataract surgery is an elective, so the timing of your procedure is entirely up to you.

If their vision has stabilized, most adults qualify for LASIK. Your eyesight changes during puberty and into your twenties, but your prescription will change less frequently as you reach visual maturity. If your vision prescription remains unchanged for at least one to two years, you may qualify for LASIK.

Candidates for LASIK must have healthy eyes and no medical conditions that could complicate the surgery or recovery. During laser eye surgery, our ophthalmologists need sufficient corneal tissue to construct the LASIK flap. Patients with narrow corneas may be better candidates for PRK or lens exchange.

During your consultation at the Laser Eye Centre of Istanbul, our ophthalmologists will determine if LASIK is the best method for improving your eyesight.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is an alternative to LASIK for patients who are not optimal candidates for the procedure. While the two surgeries are comparable in most respects, the construction of the corneal flap is the primary difference. With LASIK, your ophthalmologist creates a small corneal incision using a laser so that the cornea can be reshaped. In contrast, with PRK, your ophthalmologist removes the cornea's outermost layer (the epithelium) to gain access to the cornea. In the subsequent weeks, the epithelium regenerates, but this delays recovery. 

As LASIK yields faster results, it is by far the most prevalent option. However, patients who are not optimal candidates for LASIK may be recommended PRK. Patients with thin corneas, chronic dry eye, or extreme astigmatism fall into this category. Patients who participate in contact sports (and are therefore more susceptible to eye injuries) frequently choose PRK to prevent a potential corneal flap complication.

Your need for corrective lenses will depend on the type of IOLs you choose. The Laser Eye Centre of Miami offers a variety of IOLs, some of which can correct refractive errors and allow you to see without the need for glasses or contacts. Discuss IOL options during your consultation with your surgeon.

Glaucoma treatment typically begins with eye drops prescribed to reduce eye pressure and prevent nerve injury. As the disease progresses, laser therapy and surgery may be required to drain the surplus fluid and reduce IOP. MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries) operate to drain fluid and control intraocular pressure (IOP) but reduce the side effects of more invasive surgeries by using tiny incisions and microscopic equipment.

Within a few weeks after the operation you may notice some hair loss from the new transplanted area. The transplanted hair will begin to grow again after the inital shedding phase and it will take up to 12-14 months for new hair follicles to grow back strong and healthy.

Depending on the severity of the eye disease, glaucoma will vary. Common visual symptoms include the need for more light to see clearly, impaired vision, poor contrast vision, loss of peripheral (side) vision, and glare perception.

As glaucoma progresses, daily activities can be challenging. Observing objects and images with similar tones can be difficult, and light sensitivity and glare on reflective surfaces can exacerbate these difficulties.

You can lessen the impact of these visual glaucoma symptoms by avoiding nighttime driving for safety reasons and by wearing tinted sunglasses and eyeglass lenses to enhance contrast and reduce glare. In most commercial buildings, lenses with a yellow, brown, or amber hue may work best to reduce or eliminate the glare caused by fluorescent lighting.
