No Touch Lazer

No Touch Lazer

It is a technique used in eye reshaping surgeries. In this technique, the laser beam is applied to the eye without any physical contact. Unlike traditional laser methods, in No Touch Laser, the laser beam is sent directly to the outer surface of the cornea, but there is no instrument or touch to the eye. This method can help patients feel less discomfort during surgery and help the healing process to be faster.

How Is Eye Laser Surgery Performed?

The treatment process starts with the instillation of anaesthetic drops into the eye and the patient does not feel any pain during the application. During the treatment, there is no contact of any device with the eye, the eye is treated directly with the rays emitted from the laser device. All the patient has to do is to look at the green light coming out of the laser device. The procedure is completed in the same session for both eyes in approximately 50 seconds. This process is an important step in terms of patient comfort and safety.

What is the Recovery Process After No Touch Laser Procedure?

After the treatment, the eyes do not need to be closed, the patient can go home with both eyes open. UV protective goggles are given to protect the patient's eyes during this process. After returning home, some discomfort in the eyes may occur in the first 36 hours; these discomforts may include symptoms such as stinging, redness, discomfort from light and blurred vision of small print on television. Prescribed medication may be used to make this process more comfortable. The patient comes for a follow-up appointment on the 4th day after treatment. After resting at home for the first three days, the patient can start computer work on the 4th day and drive a car at the end of the 7th day. As the healing process progresses, the patient's visual experience improves. This healing process usually takes one month. No increase in eye number does not occur after No Touch Laser application; that is, contact lenses or glasses are not required.

What should be considered after the application?

It is important that the eyes do not come into contact with water for about a week. After the surgery, care should be taken to use the prescribed eye drops regularly for the period specified by your doctor. It is important to wear sunglasses during the hours when the eyes are sensitive to UV rays. Driving should be avoided immediately after surgery. It is important to rest for a certain period of time and avoid strenuous work for the healthy progress of the healing process. In this way, the postoperative recovery process can be more comfortable and successful.

What kind of application is used for night vision problems?

Wavefront application is also known as ‘eagle eye’. In this technique, light scattering and deviations in the eye are measured and laser treatment is adjusted accordingly. In this way, a treatment suitable for the person's own eye structure is carried out. With this method, eye defects are detected and treated more precisely, resulting in a clearer and better quality vision.
