Laser Eye Surgery in Turkey
Laser eye surgery is a group of advanced vision correction procedures designed to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses by reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors. Whether through LASIK, IntraLase, or PRK, these treatments provide a safe and effective way to improve visual clarity for suitable candidates.
Most patients are able to fly home just 1–3 days after laser eye surgery, depending on the procedure performed and their individual recovery. Vision often begins to improve within the first few days, with full visual stabilisation occurring over the following weeks or months, depending on whether LASIK, IntraLase, or PRK is performed.

THE PROCEDURE
What is a laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery corrects common refractive errors by precisely reshaping the cornea, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina for clearer vision.
Unlike glasses or contact lenses, which temporarily compensate for vision problems, laser eye surgery addresses the underlying cause of short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Depending on your individual prescription, eye health, and lifestyle, treatment may be performed using LASIK, IntraLase, or PRK, each offering a safe and effective approach to long-term vision correction.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every laser eye treatment is carefully planned around your eye health, prescription, and visual goals. Our experienced ophthalmic surgeons use advanced laser technology and comprehensive pre-operative assessments to recommend the most suitable procedure, delivering excellent visual outcomes alongside the exceptional value and personalised care that have made Turkey a leading destination for eye treatment.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery may be right for you if you:
Have a stable prescription for glasses or contact lenses
Are over the age of 18, with healthy eyes and no significant eye disease
Want to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses or contact lenses
Have sufficient corneal thickness for laser vision correction (where required)
Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results
Suitability is always confirmed after a comprehensive eye examination, including detailed measurements of your cornea, prescription, and overall eye health. If laser eye surgery is not the most suitable option, we’ll honestly recommend an alternative treatment, such as lens replacement surgery, where appropriate.

RECOVERY
Tummy tuck recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Rest with your upper body slightly elevated and avoid standing fully upright to reduce tension on the incision. Swelling and discomfort are at their highest during this period, and your dressings and any drains are monitored by our nursing team.
Days 4–7: Drains (if used) are removed, and you’ll become more mobile while continuing to wear your compression garment. Most patients are comfortable enough to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to the surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–6: Swelling gradually subsides, and everyday activities can be resumed progressively. Light walking is encouraged, but strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and core workouts should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
Months 3–6: The abdomen continues to settle into its final shape, scar appearance improves, and any remaining swelling resolves. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the results are long-lasting.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
Laser eye surgery is a safe and well-established treatment, but like any medical procedure, it carries potential risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include temporary dry eyes, glare, halos around lights, light sensitivity, fluctuating vision, and — more rarely — infection, inflammation, or under- or over-correction requiring further treatment.
We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative eye assessment, advanced laser technology, and structured aftercare with regular follow-up appointments. Your ophthalmic surgeon will explain your individual suitability, risk profile, and expected recovery in detail before treatment.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery is a vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to treat short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
What's the difference between LASIK, IntraLase, and PRK?
LASIK creates a corneal flap before reshaping the cornea, IntraLase uses a femtosecond laser to create the flap instead of a blade, and PRK reshapes the corneal surface without creating a flap.
Am I suitable for laser eye surgery?
Suitability depends on factors such as your prescription, corneal thickness, eye health, age, and whether your vision has remained stable. A comprehensive eye examination is required before treatment.
Is laser eye surgery painful?
No. Numbing eye drops are used during the procedure, so most patients feel only mild pressure or slight discomfort. Some irritation or watering is normal during the first few hours afterwards.
How long does the procedure take?
The laser treatment itself usually takes only a few minutes per eye, while the entire appointment typically lasts around 1–2 hours, including preparation and post-operative checks.
How quickly will my vision improve?
Many patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours after LASIK or IntraLase, while vision following PRK improves more gradually over several days or weeks.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients can return home 3-5 days after laser eye surgery, depending on the procedure performed and their post-operative assessment.
Will I still need glasses after laser eye surgery?
Many patients achieve excellent distance vision without glasses, although reading glasses may still be needed later in life due to natural age-related changes (presbyopia).
How long do the results last?
The correction achieved by laser eye surgery is permanent, although your eyes can still undergo natural age-related changes over time.
What if I'm not suitable for laser eye surgery?
If laser eye surgery isn't the best option for your eyes, your surgeon may recommend an alternative treatment, such as refractive lens replacement, depending on your individual needs.
