iLASIK is an advanced, bladeless version of the traditional LASIK surgery that uses precision lasers to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This innovative technology provides a more personalized and faster healing process. At First Class Esthetic, we offer iLASIK surgery to provide clear vision and improve your quality of life without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
What is iLasik?
iLasik is a laser eye surgery method developed with the latest technology. It is used to treat visual defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Unlike traditional Lasik methods, iLasik is fully customizable and performs the surgical procedure without blades. Using Wavefront technology, a detailed map of the eye is created and the most accurate and effective treatment is applied based on this map.
Who is iLasik Suitable for?
iLasik is a highly effective and reliable method for correcting vision problems. Offering personalized treatment, requiring minimal recovery time and correcting even the smallest defects are the main reasons why this method is preferred. In addition, iLasik minimizes the possibility of post-procedure complications and allows patients to return to their normal lives quickly.
Main Advantages:
Personalized Treatment: Wavefront technology creates an individualized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s eye structure. Fast Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal life within a few days after the procedure. Painless Procedure: The patient feels minimal discomfort during and after the iLasik procedure. High Safety: Flap creation without the use of microkeratomes significantly reduces the risk of complications. Enhanced Night Vision: Especially recommended for people with night vision problems. FDA Approved: iLasik is a procedure with proven safety and efficacy. iLasik and Lasik Comparison Lasik: Traditional Lasik is a commonly used method to correct visual disturbances in the eye. This procedure is performed using a mechanical blade called a microkeratome to create a flap on the cornea. As the microkeratome cuts through the top layer of the cornea to create a thin flap, this flap is lifted and then correction is performed on the lower layer of the cornea with the excimer laser. Although traditional Lasik is a short procedure, the surgeon needs to be careful to ensure that the flap is placed properly and the cornea is shaped correctly. However, this method can lead to side effects or complications for some patients, so it is important to carefully select suitable patients. iLasik: iLasik is a more modern and advanced method of eye surgery and offers a completely blade-free approach. This method analyzes individual eye structure and visual defects in three dimensions using Wavefront technology. Thus, iLasik is performed with a personalized planning for each individual. This technology offers more precise and personalized results, making it a more suitable option, especially for patients with night vision problems and those with thin corneas. During the iLasik procedure, the laser shapes the surface of the cornea more precisely, while also reducing potential complications. Therefore, the choice between Lasik and iLasik should be based on the patients’ eye structure, lifestyle and vision needs. Both methods
Why iLasik?
The iLasik method can correct even the smallest defects in the eye with high precision by offering personalized treatment. Offering more advantages than the traditional Lasik method, iLasik is an ideal option especially for patients with night vision problems or large pupils. Wavefront Technology: Wavefront technology detects irregularities on the surface of the eye and provides the most precise correction of these irregularities. Thanks to this technology, the defects in the eye are analyzed on a complete map and the treatment plan is made accordingly. Wavefront analysis focuses on the most sensitive points of the eye during the treatment process, ensuring that the results are clearer and sharper. Visx Star S4 IR and Intralase Technology: The Visx Star S4 IR excimer laser system used in iLasik treatment precisely monitors eye movements, taking into account even small movements that may occur in the eye during the procedure. This increases the reliability of the treatment and prevents unwanted results. The Intralase femtosecond laser, on the other hand, provides high accuracy when creating the flap, even in cases where the corneal structure is thin.
Conditions where iLasik Treatment can be Applied
iLasik can be used to treat common eye defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, as well as keratoplasty and keratoconus. This method is suitable for patients who have reached the age of 18 and have not had a significant change in eye number in the last year. In addition, people with thin corneas or those with night vision problems may also prefer this method.
Things to Consider After iLasik
After iLasik surgery, you will need to take some precautions to protect your eyes and achieve the best result. Avoid rubbing your eyes for the first few days, use the eye drops prescribed by your doctor regularly and protect your eyes from bright light by wearing sunglasses. You should also avoid swimming and heavy physical activity for a week.
How Much Are iLasik Surgery Prices?
iLasik surgery prices may vary depending on many factors. The technological infrastructure of the clinic or hospital where the surgery will be performed, the experience of the doctor, the tests performed before the procedure and the quality of the devices used are among the main factors that affect the price. Pre- and post-treatment care is also a factor that determines the cost. Prices usually vary according to the individual needs of the patient and are finalized with a personalized treatment plan. Therefore, it is best to consult with an eye specialist to get the most accurate information.
The eye is a very important organ that not only enables us to see and discover everything around us, but also plays a major role in establishing a person’s connection with life and strengthening his communication with people. Undoubtedly, the more clear the vision of the eyes gets, the more of the standard of living of the person becomes. However, in some cases, the person experiences vision problems. In order to avoid these problems; Methods such as glasses, lenses, and laser treatment are preferred. The iLASIK treatment method; which enables personalized treatment with the most innovative laser technology of recent years; is a method that is applied without using a knife in the treatment of vision defects such as myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism. In addition to visual defects, it is also used in keratoplasty and also used for preparing a suitable channel for rings used in keratoconus treatment.
Why The iLasik Method Should Be Preferred?

- Visual acuity obtained in iLASIK treatment is extremely high.
- It is reliable as it provides the opportunity to create a blade-free cover.
- It is an FDA approved method that provides the best results.
At the same time, thanks to Wavefront technology, detailed corneal analysis and detection of refractive errors of the eye are also provided.
How is iLasik Method Applied?
With some tests to be done before the procedure;
- The structural features of your eye are determined,
- With Wavescan technology, a digital template of your visual defects is removed,
- The treatment is applied individually according to the data obtained from this template.
People who are over the age of 18, whose glasses have not changed more than 0.50 diopters for 1 year, and who are found suitable for surgery after the necessary examinations and controls to be performed by a specialist, can choose the iLASIK treatment method.
Why iLasik?
It would be more correct to briefly talk about Wavefront analysis just before we get into the subject of why the classical method should be preferred.
As light travels through space, a beam of light contains a large number of light beams. When these light beams come to a problem-free eye, they are refracted in a 3-dimensional structure and in a cone shape and focus on a point in the retina. Reflected rays from the retina; It creates images parallel to each other, equidistant and clear. All of these images are called “Wavefront”.
These wavefronts appear as,
- Emmetropia in the perfect eye,
- Bowl in myopia,
- Peak in hyperopes,
- Irregular defects in astigmatism.
- It is precisely at this point that the irregularity or defect is detected in which part of the eye and the excimer laser program is reached. In this way, all the bowls, crest,s or other irregular defects mentioned above are quickly corrected safely and painlessly.
- The person is in a sitting position. While the laser procedure is being applied, the person is in a lying position. For this reason, sometimes a slight rotation of the eyes may occur. Visx Star S4 IR excimer laser and iris recognition feature brings these small degree differences that may occur, bringing the cornea to the most accurate position and increasing the reliability of the laser procedure applied to the person to the highest point and contribute to the successful results.
- Visx Star S4 IR system works by detecting eye movements in the most precise way by using an infrared system. When the person moves his eyes unintentionally during the operation, the excimer laser takes control at this point and closes itself directly and continues the operation only after a new adjustment is made.
- Intralase femtosecond laser; It is the treatment of vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism with reactive surgery. Intralase femtosecond laser; While it provides the opportunity to create flap of the desired thickness in those with thin cornea structure, it also minimizes the occurrence of dry eye after the procedure and enables laser even in people with high eye number. On the other hand, one of its most important features is that; It makes it possible to make calculations in the most precise way. This, again, is among the sine qua non of a successful operation.
