❓ שאלות נפוצות על ניתוח לייזר פמטו-שניות בלייזר Lasik איסטנבול

1. Is femtosecond LASIK really better than traditional LASIK?

Yes — femtosecond laser technology allows for bladeless, ultra-precise flap creation, reducing the risk of complications and improving healing time. It’s the safest and most advanced LASIK method available today.

​

2. How much does Femto-LASIK cost in Istanbul compared to the UK or USA?
In the UK or USA, femtosecond LASIK surgery can cost between £4,000–£6,000 or $5,000–$8,000 USD. At Lasik Istanbul, the same FDA-approved technology and expertise are available for less than $2,500 USD — making it a top destination for medical tourism.

​

3. How long will I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most international patients stay in Istanbul for 4 to 5 days. This includes:

Pre-op consultation and eye mapping

Surgery (15–20 minutes total time)

Post-op follow-up appointment

Rest and recovery

​

4. Is the surgery painful?
Not at all. The procedure is completely painless. We use topical anesthetic eye drops, and the femtosecond laser does not involve any mechanical cutting. Patients typically report a slight pressure but no pain during surgery.

​

5. How soon can I return to work or fly back home?
Many of our patients return to light work or travel within 24–48 hours. Full visual clarity continues to improve over the first week, but functional vision returns quickly.

​

6. Is it safe to fly after surgery?
Yes. Flying after femtosecond LASIK is completely safe after your post-op check (usually 1–2 days after surgery). We’ll provide you with eye drops and aftercare guidance to take home.

​

7. Do I need a visa to travel to Turkey for surgery?
Most UK, USA, EU, and GCC citizens can travel to Turkey visa-free or obtain an e-visa online. Our staff will assist you in planning and give you full guidance on the travel process.

​

8. Is the surgery permanent? Will I ever need glasses again?
In most cases, Femto-LASIK provides permanent correction, especially for patients between 20–40 years of age with stable prescriptions. Some patients over 40 may need reading glasses later in life (presbyopia), which is a natural age-related condition.

​
