Intralase LASIK (i-LASIK)

What is I-LASIK?

I-LASIK is an advanced refractive surgical method that combines femtosecond laser and excimer laser technology. It aims to permanently correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

How is I-LASIK Performed?

First, a thin corneal flap is created using a femtosecond laser. Then, the underlying corneal tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser. The procedure takes a few minutes per eye and is painless.

Recovery After I-LASIK

Vision usually becomes significantly clearer the next day. Mild discomfort, tearing, or light sensitivity may occur during the first days. Full stabilization occurs within a few weeks.

Dry Eye and Aftercare

Temporary dry eye may develop after the procedure. Artificial tears are recommended. In most patients, this resolves within a few months.

Advances in Laser Technology

Thanks to the eye-tracking system, eye movements are monitored in real time and the laser treatment is delivered with high precision.

Who is Suitable for I-LASIK?

• Individuals over 18 years old

• Stable prescription for at least 1 year

• Adequate corneal thickness

• No serious eye disease

Advantages of I-LASIK

• Rapid visual recovery

• Painless procedure

• High precision

Disadvantages of I-LASIK

• May not be suitable for very thin corneas

• Temporary dry eye may occur

Examination and Evaluation

Suitability is determined after a detailed eye examination. Personalized evaluation is essential.
