What an iLASIK or no-touch T-PRK package is

This stay is laser refractive surgery for myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism as the maps allow: either iLASIK — a femtosecond flap, then an excimer pass on the stroma — or no-touch T-PRK (trans-epithelial PRK), where the laser removes the surface layer and reshapes the cornea in one sitting, without a blade and without a flap. The team names one path after topography and pachymetry; it is not both techniques on the same eye, not a standard LASIK/PRK quote on the other page, not SMILE (a lenticule taken through a small keyhole), and not a cataract lens exchange. Drops numb the surface. Spectacle independence is a hope after a stable prescription, not a dioptre sold at a fixed fee.

The written clinical plan should identify the named procedure and the clinician responsible. The treating eye-care provider confirms suitability after examination and measurements.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults with a stable glasses or contact-lens prescription, corneas thick enough for the planned ablation, a healthy tear film, and no untreated keratoconus or other ectasia on the maps. Thin corneas, irregular astigmatism or a dry surface often point to T-PRK rather than a flap — or to stopping. If a simple LASIK or PRK sitting is enough, that is a different page. If a lenticule extraction is the plan, SMILE is the conversation. Cloudy lenses belong on a cataract paper, not this one.

The date is often postponed if the prescription is still changing, if you are pregnant, if an infection or severe dry eye has not settled, or if you cannot stop contact lenses for the wash-out the team asks. Send a recent prescription and, if you have them, any topography printouts. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone lifts a flap or ablates the surface. An enhancement, an ICL, or a cataract “while we are there” is not assumed.

Treating an eye the maps will not carry is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Clinic time, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan three to five days in the city. That window covers the in-person maps, the laser sitting and the first-day review. A hospital week belongs to other surgery, not this outpatient laser.

The sitting is in the laser suite under drop anaesthetic. It is not a general anaesthetic and not a ward night. iLASIK and T-PRK are different recoveries: a flap often lets you see more usefully the next day; a no-touch surface can sting for a few days under a bandage lens. Discharge to fly is signed after the first review — it is not an advertising clock.

After the laser

Keep the drops as written. Do not rub. iLASIK: the flap needs care; water, sport and make-up wait for the note. T-PRK: expect a grit-like few days while the surface closes; the bandage lens stays until the team says otherwise. Desk work is often possible after a day or two after iLASIK if the surgeon agrees; T-PRK may need a longer quiet window. Night glare and halo can last weeks. A residual glasses prescription is a review, not a second package on this page.

Red flags after you leave — sudden vision drop, severe pain, a white spot on the cornea, a temperature that persists, or discharge that is getting worse — mean a local eye clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the laser note with you.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

Which measurements decided that laser was suitable, and what is my corneal and ectasia risk?

AAO EyeWiki says ectasia screening does not stop at one central thickness or a map of the front surface alone. Tomography is required. Abnormal topography or keratoconus is an absolute barrier to LASIK. A residual stromal bed of 250 micrometres has been suggested as a threshold for LASIK. No number rules ectasia out. Some authors treat 300 micrometres as the more cautious figure. With normal topography, a percent tissue altered of 40% or more, from flap thickness plus ablation relative to corneal thickness, is linked to a higher ectasia risk. A prescription that has changed in the past year is unstable refraction in the FDA’s terms. Sources: AAO EyeWiki LASIK preoperative evaluation, FDA: when LASIK is not for you.

Do I have dry eye or an ocular-surface problem, and should it be treated before laser?

Uncontrolled dry eye, blepharitis or atopy is a barrier in the AAO text. Lid-margin disease is treated before surgery. Measurements taken on a disturbed surface carry error into the plan. The FDA says LASIK can worsen dry eye, and that this can be permanent. Marked but controlled dry eye may point away from flap LASIK toward surface ablation or SMILE. That choice does not remove the risk. Sources: AAO EyeWiki LASIK preoperative evaluation, FDA: when LASIK is not for you.

Why LASIK, iLASIK, PRK, TransPRK or SMILE for my eye?

LASIK lifts a flap. AAO says that in combat sports, military service or a job with a risk of eye injury, PRK, another surface ablation or SMILE should be considered because a flap can dislocate for life. A thin cornea or ectasia risk can rule LASIK out. The FDA says refractive surgery on a thin cornea can cause complications up to blindness, and that contact sport can affect candidacy. The name iLASIK or no-touch does not replace this comparison. Sources: AAO EyeWiki LASIK preoperative evaluation, FDA: when LASIK is not for you.

What vision is the target, and what are the conditions if a prescription remains and retreatment is discussed?

The FDA says only some patients see 20/20 without glasses, that under-correction and over-correction can occur, and that an enhancement is not always possible. Glasses or contact lenses may still be needed afterwards. “20/20 or your money back” is not a medical guarantee. A second procedure after previous laser or radial keratotomy is discussed separately and more cautiously. An enhancement fee is not included unless the first package writes it in. Source: FDA LASIK risks.

If vision drops suddenly, pain is severe, or infection is suspected after I go home, what is the emergency route and who pays?

The NHS asks people to call 111 for a sudden increase in floaters, flashes, a curtain or dark shadow in the vision, or sudden blur, because of possible retinal detachment. Redness, pain and sensitivity to light also need an eye check the same day. The FDA says a shifted LASIK flap, inflammation or infection can need another procedure and intensive drops, and that vision loss can be temporary or permanent despite aggressive treatment. The NHS asks people treated abroad to get the cost of further treatment and a return journey in writing beforehand. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications.

Should I stop wearing contact lenses before laser-eye-surgery measurements?

Tell the clinic which contact lenses you wear before your assessment. Lenses can temporarily change corneal shape, so testing too soon may affect the measurements used to plan treatment. Ask when to switch to glasses and how long to leave your lenses out; the interval depends on lens type and the planned procedure. FDA patient information describes lens-specific instructions for LASIK, while its approved SMILE booklet says the clinician should set the interval needed for stable measurements. If you are considering PRK or TransPRK, ask for the clinic's instructions for that procedure. FDA LASIK patient information; FDA-approved SMILE patient booklet.
