Smart Lens
A smart lens is a trifocal lens that allows patients over the age of 40 to see clearly near, far and intermediate distances. Thanks to the smart lens operation, patients do not have to wear glasses. Smart lenses, also known as trifocal lenses, are suitable for the use of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism patients whose eye structures are not suitable for laser treatment. The smart lens, also known as the trifocal intraocular lens, helps the patient to provide clear and quality vision at all distances.
Why Are Smart Lenses Needed?
All human eyes have a natural lens that is both transparent and elastic. Thus, it is possible to focus on the distance viewed by changing the shape each time you look at near and far. Smart lenses allow us to see clearly both near and far.
With aging, the natural lens in the eye loses its flexibility. For this reason, it cannot change shape and focus when looking close over time. If the person is older, it also loses its transparency and cataracts occur.
Our own natural intraocular lens usually loses its flexibility around the age of 40 and needs to be replaced with a new one. An artificial lens called a smart lens is placed in place of our natural lens, which deforms over time. In this way, it will be possible to focus both far and near. A patient who has a trifocal lens, also known as a smart lens, does not develop cataracts in the future.
How Smart Lenses Work
The light entering our eyes from different distances is refracted from the existing lens and merges into a single focal point on the retina. Thus, it allows us to perceive the image. Our innate lens in our eyes does this by flexing itself according to different focal points. The same principle applies to the smart lens. Trifocal lenses make it possible to focus light from far, near and medium distances with a single lens. In addition, with the trifocal lens, it is possible to adjust the focal distances where the person has problems in focusing. Trifocal lenses can be selected according to the eye type of the person. Thus, the need to use multiple distance glasses is eliminated.
What are the Advantages of Smart Lenses?
The operation of smart lenses, also known as trifocal lenses, is an operation that allows people with cataract problems to see again in a healthy way, as well as eye refraction problems such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia. It is decided whether smart lenses can be placed in the patient's eye as a result of various examinations by ophthalmologists. At the same time, within the scope of this assessment, the age and general health of the person are also taken into account. The advantages of smart lenses are;
- During smart lens surgery, patients do not feel pain, ache or pain.
- The operation is completed in about 10 minutes.
- Intraocular lenses installed during the operation can be used for a lifetime.
- After smart lens surgery, there is no improvement in the eye number of the patients.
- Thanks to smart lenses, it is possible to see multiple focal distances without wearing glasses.
- With the use of smart lenses to treat cataract eye disease, patients do not develop cataracts again.
- Smart lenses can be applied to patients with advanced eye numbers that cannot be corrected by eye laser surgery.
- After smart eye surgery, a significant increase in the visual quality of patients is observed.
- After smart lens surgery, the patient does not need to stay in the hospital.

Eye Laser Surgery (Eye Draw)
Eye laser surgery is a procedure for people who do not want to wear glasses. It is popularly known as eye drawing. Eye laser surgery is aimed at solving vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia (age-related nearsightedness). Eye drawing surgery is performed with the advice of a doctor after various examinations. Points to be considered at this time; The patient's corneal thickness and shape are suitable for treatment. In addition, the patient's age, health history and visual defect number are also important in deciding whether they are suitable for eye surgery. Laser, which is a very powerful type of light, is used for many different purposes in daily life.
During eye laser surgery, the patient is asked to look fixedly at a certain point, and the operation is performed by sending a laser beam to a specific area on the outer surface of the cornea. Eye drawing surgery is basically reshaping the cornea, which is the transparent layer that filters light, with the help of laser beam, and eliminating eye problems such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia that have certain conditions. Thus, the patient is provided with clear vision and correct focusing.
Who Can Have Eye Laser Surgery?
Eye laser surgery is performed on people over the age of 18 whose eye development has been completed. Because there is a possibility of increasing the number of glasses.
Eye laser surgery, popularly known as eye drawing, can be performed on patients with suitable corneal thickness.
It can be applied to people who have undergone cataract surgery and have a tear in their retina after providing appropriate preconditions.
It can also be applied to patients with astigmatism and hyperopia that are not excessively high and myopia patients with high numbers.
It can be applied to patients with various stains and scars on the corneal layer.
How is Eye Laser Surgery Performed?
Eye scratch surgery with the no touch laser used in eye laser surgery starts with the patient lying on the laser bed on his back. Then, one eye of the patient is closed with a sterile drape, leaving it open. The eye drops are anesthetized with anesthetic. Thanks to the effect of anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain during the operation. If necessary, the patient can be given sedatives to avoid excitement during the operation. The area around the eye, which is anesthetized with drop anesthesia, is thoroughly cleaned. A retractor is placed to keep the eyelid open during the operation and the operation is started. Eye laser surgery procedures differ for each type of treatment after the entry phase.
While eye laser surgery is performed with no touch laser application, laser treatment is applied to the cornea area of the patient for 50 seconds and one minute without any contact with the eye.
In eye laser surgery with the LASIK method, a corneal flap is created with a microkeratome. After the creation of the corneal frebe, surgery is performed under the removed part.
In eye laser surgery with the ILASIK method, the incision required for LASIK is created in the computer system. Then, the procedure is performed by sending laser beams to the cornea.
After eye laser surgery, the patient is kept under observation for half an hour. Depending on the type of surgery performed, blurred vision and stinging sensation may be experienced in the first few days. The patient is discharged within a few hours after the operation.
