In this article, we will summarize what ReLEx SMILE is, why Türkiye is an attractive option, and the process at Kudret Eye İstanbul.

ReLEx SMILE Technology: Flapless and Gentle Solution, Why is Turkey Ideal?

ReLEx SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) happens to be a third-generation laser eye surgery that is performed without making a flap (lid) in the cornea. This feature stands as the single most differentiating factor we can cite from the LASIK method. So, how does it work? A thin, personalized lenticule (disc-shaped tissue) is created inside the cornea with a femtosecond laser. Then, this lenticule is removed from a tiny incision of only 2-4 mm on the corneal surface. In this way, the structure of the cornea is preserved to the maximum extent. This method is a great advantage, especially for those at risk of dry eyes or those who do not get along with contact lenses. The healing process is also generally faster and more comfortable.

So why is ReLEx Smile eye surgery in Turkey so popular? Turkey has become an important center for health tourism, especially eye surgery. The main reasons for this are the international experience of Turkish eye surgeons, the state-of-the-art technological infrastructure of hospitals like Kudret Eye İstanbul, and, of course, the cost advantage compared to Europe and America. It is possible to receive treatment at more affordable prices without compromising on quality. Moreover, there is the opportunity to take a short vacation while receiving treatment in a historical city like Istanbul. Kudret Eye İstanbul organizes this process for you from beginning to end, providing a comfortable experience.

This holistic approach offered by Türkiye is really attractive for those considering ReLEx SMILE surgery. Having access to both advanced technology and experienced doctors, and doing this without shaking your budget, is a big plus. Kudret Eye İstanbul makes the treatment process as easy and stress-free as possible with the comprehensive packages it offers, especially for its international patients. After all, while you want the best for your eye health, it is important for the process to be comfortable.

Our surgeons, who are experts in their field, meet with you one-on-one, evaluate your test results, and provide information about the operation.

After your eligibility is approved, the surgery day is planned. The surgery itself is quite short, takes about 10-15 minutes for each eye, and is generally painless. Your eyes are numbed with drops. Kudret Eye Istanbul’s ReLEx Smile package (£1,600 – Both Eyes) includes many additional services in addition to the surgery. This way, you can focus solely on your treatment.

Rapid Recovery and Long-Term Clear Vision After ReLEx SMILE

One of the most popular aspects of ReLEx SMILE surgery is the quick recovery. Most patients would feel an instantaneous improvement in their vision immediately after the procedure. It usually takes about three days for your vision to clear up and feel stable. Some ups and downs during this period are normal. Make sure to follow your doctor’s post-op instructions closely, especially when it comes to using your eye drops. It will be sufficient to avoid rubbing your eyes and getting water on them on the first day. Most people can return to their daily activities after the check-up the next day. This is truly a great comfort.

During the recovery process, the eyes may feel slightly dry. Although ReLEx SMILE reduces the risk of dry eyes, artificial tear drops recommended by your doctor may help you relax. The experts at Kudret Eye Istanbul closely monitor the entire process and aim to prevent potential problems from the very beginning. As for the long-term results, ReLEx SMILE aims to permanently correct myopia and astigmatism. Clinical studies have shown that this method offers stable and reliable results in the long term. The clear vision obtained is usually permanent.

Of course, as with any medical intervention, there may be minimal risks, but in experienced centers like Kudret Eye İstanbul, with expert surgeons and the latest technology, these risks are minimized. The offered ReLEx Smile package for both eyes for £1,600 includes not only the surgery, but also this long-term assurance and quality follow-up. This is a valuable investment that will improve your quality of life by getting rid of the restrictions of glasses or lenses. In short, with relex smile eye surgery in Turkey in Kudret Eye İstanbul, looking at the world more clearly is now much easier and more accessible.
