Myopia Treatment

Myopia Treatment: Restoring Vision Quality

Myopia or also known as myopiais the inability to see far away clearly. It is caused by a deterioration in the ability of the cornea and lens in the eye to refract light. Myopia is a common visual impairment today and it is possible to solve this problem with treatment options.

Myopia Symptoms

Myopia usually manifests itself with the following symptoms:

  • Blurred appearance of objects at a distance
  • Eye strain and headache
  • Need for glasses or contact lenses
  • Difficulty in continuous focusing of the eyes

Causes of Myopia

  1. Genetic Predisposition:
    • Myopia is frequently associated with genetic factors and there is an increased risk if there is a family history of myopia.
  2. Eye Length:
    • Irregularities in the ability of the cornea and lens to refract light can lead to increased eye length and myopia can develop.
  3. Visual Habits:
    • Excessive exposure to screens (phones, computers, tablets) at close range and activities such as prolonged reading can increase the risk of myopia.
  4. Environmental Factors:
    • Excessive exposure to UV light, irregular sleep patterns and insufficient outdoor activities can also trigger myopia

Myopia Treatment Methods

    1. Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses:
      • They are the most commonly used tools to treat myopia.
      • Glasses and soft contact lenses are preferred in mild cases, while hard gas permeable lenses are more effective in advanced cases.
    2. Refractive Laser Surgery (LASIK, Femto-LASIK):
      • It is one of the most popular and effective methods to treat myopia.
      • Excess tissue on the cornea is vaporized with a laser to correct the shape of the cornea and improve the quality of distance vision.
    3. Refractive Implants:
      • It is another method used to correct myopia.
      • Lens implants are placed on the cornea to improve distance vision.
    4. Multifocal Laser Therapy:
      • It is also used for near and distance vision problems in the treatment of myopia.

Advantages of Myopia Treatment

  1. Glasses and Contact Lens Independence:
    • With myopia treatment, patients can get rid of the need for glasses and contact lenses.
  2. Clearer Far Vision:
    • The treatment provides clear vision of objects at a distance and improves patients' quality of life.
  3. More Comfortable Vision:
    • Once myopia is treated, comfort in daily activities increases and problems such as headaches decrease.

Myopia Treatment Options and Application Areas

  1. LASIK (Laser In-Situ Keratomilezis):
    • It is one of the most commonly used laser procedures to treat myopia.
    • Myopia is corrected with minimally invasive procedures on the cornea.
  2. Femto-LASIK:
    • It is a laser treatment method that offers sharp and fast results without touching the eye surface.
  3. Refractive Implants:
    • Especially in cases of advanced myopia, small lenses implanted in the inner part of the cornea allow patients to see better.
  4. PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy):
    • It is another laser treatment option that, unlike LASIK, requires more touch on the cornea.

What happens if myopia is not treated?

  1. Quality of vision decreases:
    • If myopia is left untreated, poor distance vision can negatively affect quality of life.
  2. Eye Fatigue and Headache:
    • Long-term vision problems increase headaches and eye strain.
  3. Decreased Quality of Life:
    • Visual impairments can lead to problems in daily activities and professional life.

Pricing of Myopia Treatment Methods

  1. LASIK and Femto-LASIK Laser treatments, such as laser therapy, are often more cost-effective in the long term and can eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.
  2. Refractive surgeries in Turkey are offered at globally competitive prices in terms of quality and cost.

For whom are myopia treatment options suitable?

  1. Those who are uncomfortable wearing glasses and lenses
  2. Those who want to prevent the progression of vision problems
  3. Individuals who want clearer distance vision
  4. Suitable for surgical interventions such as LASIK or Femto-LASIK
  5. Suitable candidates for refractive lens implants
01
Can myopia be completely cured?
Yes, in most cases myopia can be completely corrected surgically.
02
How long does the healing process take after LASIK?
LASIK usually provides improvement within a few days, but full recovery can take 1-3 months.
03
Is there a risk of recurrence after myopia treatment?
o Myopia may rarely recur after correction, but in this case re-treatment methods can be used.

Clearer Vision with Myopia Treatment
