What is No Touch Laser?
While eye contact is required in all laser eye surgeries, in the no-touch laser method, all stages of the surgery are performed without remote contact with the laser. In this way, the patient completely gets rid of the glasses. Generally, in Lasik treatment, myopia up to 6-8 degrees, astigmatism up to 4 degrees and hyperopia up to 4 degrees can be treated. Vision is blurred for the first week after treatment. The sharpest vision occurs after 2-3 months.
