What are Eye Treatments? Which Methods are Applied?
Eye health is one of the most critical health areas that directly affects quality of life. With the rapid advancement of technology, extremely effective and safe methods have been introduced in the field of eye treatments. With the comprehensive eye treatments we offer at EFC Clinic, we provide patients with permanent solutions for both visual acuity and eye aesthetics.
In this article, we will cover many topics from laser eye surgery to smart lens application, from cataract surgery to glaucoma treatment.
Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK / LASEK / PRK)
Laser eye surgery is a procedure in which refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism are permanently corrected by a laser beam applied to the cornea. It aims to eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Laser Surgery?
Individuals aged 18 or over whose prescription has been stable for at least 1 year and who have sufficient corneal thickness are suitable for laser treatment. Visit our Eye Treatments page for detailed information.
What is the Difference Between LASIK and PRK?
In LASIK, a flap is created in the cornea and laser is applied; the recovery process is faster. In PRK, surface cells are removed before laser application; it is preferred for patients with thin corneas. Both methods are extremely safe.
Smart Lens (Trifocal / Multifocal Lens) Application
Smart lens application is an advanced technology treatment method that replaces the eye’s natural lens with artificial lenses, correcting distance, intermediate and near vision simultaneously. It offers an ideal solution for cataract patients and individuals with high prescriptions who are not suitable for laser treatment.
With a smart lens, the vast majority of patients can see comfortably without glasses. Results are permanent and largely eliminate dependence on glasses.
Cataract Surgery
A cataract is the gradual clouding of the eye’s natural lens, resulting in reduced visual acuity. Cataract surgery, one of the most commonly performed operations in the world, is carried out by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one.
How Long Does Cataract Surgery Take?
This operation, completed in an average of 15-20 minutes under local anaesthesia, is performed on a day-case basis and the patient is sent home the same day. Both eyes are generally treated in separate sessions.
Glaucoma (Eye Pressure) Treatment
Glaucoma is a serious eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged due to increased intraocular pressure and can lead to permanent blindness if left untreated. Early diagnosis is of vital importance.
Eye drops, laser or surgical methods are used in treatment. Vision loss can be largely prevented in glaucoma detected early through regular eye examinations. Book an appointment for early diagnosis.
Strabismus (Squint) Surgery
Strabismus is the condition in which both eyes are unable to focus on the same point. While early diagnosis and treatment in children is critically important, surgery can be performed at any age in adults as well.
Strabismus surgery is performed by repositioning the eye muscles. Both visually and aesthetically satisfying results are achieved.
Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)
This is an aesthetic operation in which drooping and puffiness in the upper or lower eyelids are surgically corrected. It both improves appearance and provides a functional solution when upper eyelid drooping narrows the visual field.
Recovery time is generally 7-10 days and bruising largely subsides within 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser eye surgery permanent?
Yes, laser eye surgery permanently changes the corneal structure. However, natural visual changes (such as presbyopia) may occur with advancing age.
When will I be able to see after cataract surgery?
Most patients experience noticeable visual improvement within a few hours to 24 hours after surgery. Full stabilisation is completed within 4-6 weeks.
Who is suitable for smart lens?
It is ideal for high-prescription patients whose corneal thickness is insufficient for laser, cataract patients and individuals experiencing presbyopia.
Does glaucoma progress without symptoms?
Yes, in the early stages of glaucoma, there are often no symptoms. For this reason, it is recommended that individuals over 40 have their eye pressure measured annually.
Can strabismus surgery be performed at any age?
Yes, strabismus surgery can be performed at any age in adults. In children, early intervention is recommended when the appropriate age is reached (generally 4-6 years).
