Chirurgia Oculare LASIK

Cos’è la Chirurgia Oculare LASIK?

La chirurgia LASIK assistita dal laser (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), nota anche come chirurgia correttiva degli occhi con il laser o semplicemente chirurgia laser, mira a correggere disturbi visivi mediante l’uso di un laser non invasivo. Difetti visivi come ipermetropia, miopia, astigmatismo, nonché aloni e sensibilità alla luce vengono corretti tramite il metodo laser senza l’utilizzo di una lama.

 

Perché viene eseguita la chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

La chirurgia correttiva degli occhi con il laser viene eseguita per alleviare errori di rifrazione come l’ipermetropia, la miopia, la presbiopia e l’astigmatismo. Alcuni tipi di LASIK riducono aloni, abbagliamenti e migliorano la visione notturna.

 

Quali sono le condizioni per la chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

Di solito, la chirurgia LASIK viene consigliata ai pazienti che:

  • Sono compresi tra i 25 e i 40 anni, poiché gli errori di rifrazione dovrebbero stabilizzarsi entro questa fascia d’età.
  • Hanno uno spessore corneale sufficiente poiché la cornea deve essere in grado di mantenere la sua forma dopo il LASIK.
  • Hanno una curvatura corneale ottimale; se la cornea è troppo curva o troppo piatta, il LASIK potrebbe non essere un trattamento valido.
  • Non presentano pressione oculare eccessiva o assottigliamento corneale.
  • Non presentano altre malattie che colpiscono l’occhio, come il diabete o il reumatismo.
  • Possono essere sottoposti in modo sicuro ad anestesia locale.

 

Quali sono i tipi di chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

Esistono 3 tipi comunemente eseguiti di chirurgia LASIK che vengono consigliati in base ai difetti visivi e allo spessore corneale: PRK, iLASIK e Wavefront.

 

PRK:

La PRK (chirurgia fotorefrattiva) è una procedura chirurgica che utilizza un laser preciso per rimuovere il tessuto corneale al fine di correggere gli errori di rifrazione. La PRK viene spesso preferita rispetto ad altri trattamenti quando lo spessore corneale non è adatto per altri trattamenti LASIK. Dopo la PRK, ai pazienti viene fornita una lente a contatto protettiva da indossare per almeno 5 giorni.

 

iLASIK:

iLASIK è il trattamento LASIK più comunemente preferito e ha la più alta possibilità di ottenere una visione 20/20. iLASIK è approvato dalla FDA e ha un così elevato tasso di successo che la NASA autorizza gli astronauti a sottoporsi a iLASIK, mentre altri trattamenti LASIK escludono le persone dal diventare astronauti. iLASIK viene personalizzato per ogni paziente attraverso una mappatura della topografia dell’occhio, simile a Wavefront.

 

Wavefront:

Viene utilizzato un software per creare una dettagliata mappatura della cornea e la chirurgia viene guidata attraverso questa mappatura. Wavefront viene di solito utilizzato per correggere importanti irregolarità non rifrattive, come ipersensibilità alla luce, abbagliamenti, aloni o diminuzione della sensibilità al contrasto. Wavefront è spesso preferito quando il paziente soffre di astigmatismo grave.

 

Cosa bisogna considerare prima della chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

Si richiede ai pazienti di arrivare in Turchia un giorno prima della data programmata per la chirurgia al fine di sottoporsi a estesi test preoperatori e avere una consultazione con l’oftalmologo responsabile. L’oftalmologo responsabile determina quale procedura verrà eseguita e spiega i dettagli della procedura al paziente.

 

Cosa bisogna considerare dopo la chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

Sebbene il LASIK sia un intervento ambulatoriale, al paziente viene offerta una notte di ricovero ospedaliero dopo la chirurgia LASIK. È normale che il paziente possa sperimentare visione sfocata e dolore agli occhi per le prime ore dopo l’intervento. Si consiglia al paziente di:

  • Utilizzare i farmaci post-operatori forniti come indicato dal proprio oftalmologo.
  • Assumere antidolorifici se necessario, purché non siano anticoagulanti.
  • Non guidare né andare al lavoro nei giorni successivi all’intervento.
  • Evitare di stare in ambienti polverosi, poiché l’occhio trattato non deve essere strofinato, graffiato, toccato, lavato o bagnato durante le prime 24 ore dopo l’intervento.
  • Allo stesso modo, evitare che il sapone o lo shampoo entrino negli occhi.
  • Utilizzare una lacrima artificiale prescritta dal medico per circa 3-6 mesi dopo l’operazione.

 

Quali sono i rischi della chirurgia LASIK agli occhi?

I rischi della chirurgia LASIK agli occhi includono, ma non si limitano a:

  • Esperienza di occhi lacrimanti e disagio.
  • Occhi secchi o sensazione di bruciore, irritazione, prurito e sensazioni di corpo estraneo nell’occhio.
  • Visione doppia.
  • Dolore o bruciore agli occhi nei primi 2-3 giorni dopo l’intervento.
  • Visione sfocata.

I pazienti sottoposti a chirurgia LASIK inizieranno a vedere chiaramente entro 2-3 giorni e saranno in grado di tornare alla loro vita quotidiana.

Laoise Breslin reviewed Surgery

I have recently returned from having surgery in turkey which I booked through booking surgery. The process from start to finish has been phenomenal and still on going as my coordinator is still happy to help with any questions I have post op. My co ordinator was Robert Campell, he’s truly been fantastic, at the beginning he was great at responding to my worries and always making me feel at ease, and even now post op with anything I need, I never have to wait long for a response from him. Truly lovely person. I have to say all the coordinators are brilliant and happy to help with questions. Booking surgery as a whole has been brilliant, the social media groups, the support etc, they have everything from transfers, which is brilliant as they help so much with the airport when returning back home, the translators in the hospitals, they were fantastic, nothing was ever too much. What I really love about booking surgery is that you can take a companion with you who can share your room with you. This is an absolute game changer from other companies and I truly hope this remains in place. When booking loads of info is given re the surgeons and the hospitals. I was so happy with my surgeon and hospital, surgeon was fantastic, professional and respectful, the hospital was so modern, hotel like. I highly highly recommend booking surgery and I will definitely be using them in the not so distance future again. Thank you for everything

Carlos Costa reviewed Amazing job from Nora! - Booking Surgery

Booking Surgery exceeded all my expectations! I recently had veneers done by Nora, and the results are simply incredible. Not only did Nora do an amazing job, but she also provided exceptional care throughout the entire process. From the moment I arrived, the team at Booking Surgery made me feel welcome and comfortable. They even arranged for my transportation from the airport and provided accommodation in a nearby hotel, which made my experience hassle-free. The reception staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Booking Surgery. If you're considering any dental procedures, I highly recommend Nora and the team here!

Laura reviewed Medistanbul Hospital

I have just had surgery at Medistanbul with Dr Yalcin. I had 360fdl and breast uplift. The experience from start to finish has been outstanding. Interpretators Lily, Morgan, Naz and Frank where quick to solve any issues that I came across and were super friendly. I personally never had any issues with the food at the hospital. I just never had much of an appetite after surgery but gave things a try. All in all a wonderful experience to be had and I would definitely recommend ☺️

Rose Curley reviewed First of all a big thank you to Bruce…

First of all a big thank you to Bruce Who arranged everything from start to finish. I arrived at the airport where I was greeted by Denis who’s a lovely friendly driver who gave us water and signed us into WiFi. From the moment we arrived at yasam hospital the care was great. My partner and I were shown to our room which had enough room for us both and a hospital bed for my partner. The room was very clean and we had our own walk in shower room with toilet. I met the translator who spoke good English and between him and the staff it ran smoothly and.i had all my test done there and then. On the day of my op I was greeted nicely by Dr Nebil who is amazing by the way with the translater and made sure I understood everything that he suggested which was great very pleased with my result. After the op I was brought back up the care of the nurses r great and I wouldn’t change any of them. They got me up walking as soon as they could and there were very attentive to me . They check on you all of the time and were quick to jump on if something went wrong. Dr Nebil phoned on a Sunday checking that everything is ok that’s great commitment to his patients. I would definitely book with him again if I had any more work to be done . When it was time to leave they arranged wheelchair assistance for me and everything went well . My first experience was excellent and if I had to come back I would have my boobs doing only with dr nebil. Thanks to everyone and I mean everyone thank you so much for looking after me whilst I was in your care . Much love Rosaleen xx

They are super friendly and kind I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you to all the bookingsurgery.com team and hospital staff at Ozel Tekirdag Yasam Hastanesi for all your hardwork and help.

Charlotte reviewed Gastric sleeve

Went for a gastric sleeve last week, the care I got was amazing, nothing was ever to much, interpreters were amazing, the nurses would come in and check on you ask if you need anything if you needed pain relief or wanted to ask something they would come straight away, the room was so big, cleaners came in every morning was very clean, surgeon came to check on you after surgery, my coordinator Bruce was amazing if I had any questions he was happy to help, responded very quickly, would definitely recommend booking surgery.
