IntraLase Eye Surgery in Turkey
IntraLase uses a bladeless femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap with micron-level precision, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism — with clear vision usually returning within a day.
Most patients can fly home the next day, with vision improving within 24 hours and settling fully over the following weeks.

THE PROCEDURE
What is IntraLase eye surgery?
IntraLase replaces the surgical blade with a computer-guided femtosecond laser, creating the corneal flap in LASIK with micron-level precision.
Rather than a mechanical blade, IntraLase uses rapid laser pulses to form the flap beneath the corneal surface, with thickness and edge architecture mapped digitally to your individual eye. This precision is associated with more predictable healing, less post-operative dryness, and suitability for some patients whose corneas are too thin for blade-based LASIK. The excimer laser then reshapes the tissue beneath to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every IntraLase treatment is planned around your eye health, prescription, and visual goals, with experienced ophthalmic surgeons and comprehensive pre-operative assessments confirming your suitability before treatment.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is IntraLase?
IntraLase is a femtosecond laser used to create the corneal flap during LASIK. It replaces the mechanical microkeratome blade with computer-guided laser pulses, forming the flap with micron-level precision.
How is it different from traditional LASIK?
Traditional LASIK uses a fine oscillating blade to create the flap. IntraLase forms the flap with laser pulses beneath the corneal surface, with thickness, diameter, and edge shape planned digitally beforehand rather than determined mechanically during surgery.
Is IntraLase safer?
It offers greater control over flap thickness and shape, and studies report fewer flap-related complications than blade-based methods. No procedure is without risk, and your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile at assessment.
Am I a suitable candidate?
Most adults over 18 with a stable prescription for at least 12 months. Suitability depends on corneal thickness, prescription strength, and overall eye health, confirmed through corneal mapping at your pre-operative assessment.
How does the procedure work?
Anaesthetic drops numb the eye. The femtosecond laser forms a thin flap in the cornea, which is gently lifted so the excimer laser can reshape the tissue beneath. The flap is then repositioned, where it settles naturally without stitches.
Are both eyes treated on the same day?
Yes, in a single session.
How quickly will I see clearly?
Vision usually improves within 24 hours, with most patients seeing clearly the following morning. Minor fluctuations and night glare can continue for a few weeks as the eyes settle.
When can I return to work and normal activities?
Desk work is usually possible within 1–2 days. Avoid eye makeup for one week, swimming and gyms for two weeks, and contact sports for one month.
What are the risks?
Temporary dry eye and night-time glare or halos are the most common side effects, usually settling within 3–6 months. Serious complications are rare. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile before treatment.
What if my vision changes later?
A small percentage of patients benefit from an enhancement procedure years later. Suitability depends on remaining corneal thickness.
