LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is one of the most well-known and widely performed laser eye surgeries used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. At Nova Eye Clinic, we perform LASIK using the FemtoLASIK technique, which is a more advanced and bladeless version of traditional LASIK, offering enhanced precision and safety.
LASIK reshapes the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye, so that light is properly focused onto the retina. In the FemtoLASIK technique, a femtosecond laser creates a thin flap in the cornea, which is then lifted so the underlying corneal tissue can be reshaped with an excimer laser. The flap is then repositioned, where it naturally adheres without the need for stitches.
You may be eligible for LASIK if you:
A detailed pre-operative evaluation by Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ünal will determine your suitability for the procedure.
LASIK is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye. The steps include:
Preparation: Numbing eye drops are applied and the eyelids are held open.
Flap Creation: A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap.
Reshaping: The excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue.
Flap Repositioning: The flap is gently repositioned without the need for stitches.
Patients usually go home shortly after the procedure and begin to notice improved vision within a few hours.
Most patients achieve clear vision within 24–48 hours.
Some may experience temporary dryness, light sensitivity, or mild discomfort.
Vision continues to stabilize over the following weeks.
Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and optimal results.
We use the bladeless, high-precision FemtoLASIK technique for safer and more predictable outcomes.

Your eye health and visual goals are fully assessed to ensure the best possible results.
No, LASIK is performed under numbing eye drops. You may feel slight pressure, but no pain during the procedure.
Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within the first 24 hours after surgery.
Yes, both eyes are usually treated during the same session.
LASIK significantly reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, reading glasses may be needed later in life due to natural aging (presbyopia).
Yes, the vision correction achieved through LASIK is generally permanent. Some changes in vision may occur over time due to age-related conditions.
There is no one-size-fits-all. No Touch Laser, PRK, LASIK, and SMILE all have unique advantages. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ünal will help you choose the most suitable option for your eyes.
