What is LASIK?

LASIK is a medical procedure used to correct vision problems by using an advanced laser to reshape the surface of the cornea with high precision, so that the eye can focus light correctly on the retina.

LASIK helps treat:

Nearsightedness (Myopia)
Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Astigmatism

The result is often:
✔ Significant improvement in vision
✔ Reduced dependence on glasses
✔ And in many cases, no longer needing them at all

Why is LASIK the most popular choice?

Because LASIK surgery is characterized by:

The procedure takes very little time (10–15 minutes for both eyes)
There is virtually no pain (anesthetic drops)
Rapid improvement in vision within a few hours or a day
A short recovery period compared to some other laser techniques

Why Get LASIK in Turkey?

LASIK surgery in Turkey has become a global choice for several compelling reasons:

1) Extensive medical experience

Turkey performs thousands of LASIK procedures each year, giving doctors a wealth of experience.

2) The latest devices and technologies

Eye centers in Turkey use the latest generation of diagnostic equipment and lasers available worldwide.

3) Reasonable cost

The difference is significant compared to countries in Europe and the Gulf, while maintaining quality.

4) Medical Tourism

Patients can combine treatment with relaxation and sightseeing, especially in cities like Bursa.

Why the stock market, specifically?

Boursa is an excellent choice for LASIK surgery because:

A comfortable and quiet city compared to Istanbul
Comprehensive healthcare services and state-of-the-art facilities
Faster recovery due to less stress and fewer crowds
Excellent value for the price with high quality
Ease of Travel and Accommodations

Who is a good candidate for LASIK?

LASIK is suitable for most people, but an examination is necessary to confirm this.

LASIK is usually a good option for you if:

✅ You are over 18 years old
✅ Your vision has remained stable over the past year
✅ You have adequate corneal thickness
✅ You have no active eye diseases
✅ You are in good overall health

LASIK may not be right for you if:

❌ Very thin cornea
❌ Keratoconus
❌ Severe dry eye
❌ Chronic inflammation or a problem with the retina
❌ Pregnancy or breastfeeding (temporarily)

The Most Important Thing Before LASIK: A Comprehensive Eye Exam

The success of LASIK depends more on the preoperative examination than on anything else.

During the examination, the following is done:

Accurate Vision Testing
Measuring Corneal Thickness
Corneal Topography
Intraocular Pressure Measurement
Retinal and Fundus Examination
Drought Assessment

At The Best Osama, we coordinate this examination with the best eye centers in Bursa to determine the ideal treatment for your condition.

How is the LASIK procedure performed, step by step?

Let me explain it to you simply:

1) Eye Preparation

Anesthetic drops are administered, and the eye is cleaned.

2) Creating a thin layer in the cornea (flap)

The doctor creates a very thin layer on the surface of the cornea using a highly precise instrument.

3) Lasers for corneal reshaping

The laser is directed at the cornea for a few seconds to reshape it according to the prescription.

4) Put the layer back in place

The flap is returned to its original position without stitches.

5) Completion

Eye drops are administered, and sometimes a simple eye shield is applied.

Is LASIK surgery painful?

No.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia using eye drops.

You may feel:

Very light pressure
Tears
—all of this is normal and goes away within a few hours.

After the surgery… What should you expect?

Immediately after LASIK:

You feel a little dizzy
Mild burning sensation or tearing
Light Sensitivity

Within 24–48 hours:
✅ Vision improves very noticeably
✅ Life begins to return to normal

Recovery and Healing Phase

During the first week:

Do not rub your eyes
Use the eye drops regularly
Avoid getting soap and water in your eyes
Avoid strenuous exercise

During the first month:

Avoid swimming and saunas
Women Should Avoid Wearing Makeup During a Specific Period
Keep your appointment

How long does it take to see the results of LASIK?

Rapid improvement after one day
The greatest improvement in a week
Complete stability within a few weeks

Is LASIK permanent?

In most cases, yes, but it depends on:

Preoperative Visual Stability
Patient's Age
Type of Problem
The patient's habits (such as rubbing the eyes)

Note:
After age 40, you may experience difficulty reading (this is a normal age-related condition, not a failure of LASIK).

Are there any risks?

Every medical procedure carries a risk of complications, but LASIK is one of the safest procedures in the world.
Risks are very rare if you:
✅ Choose a reputable center
✅ Undergo a comprehensive examination
✅ See an experienced doctor
✅ Follow the instructions

The Difference Between LASIK and Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)

LASIK:

Faster Recovery
Didn't I say
Faster Viewing

PRK:

Suitable for thin corneas
Longer recovery
A little more pain

That’s why we always say:
You don’t choose the technique… the doctor determines it based on your eyes.
