Within a few weeks after the operation you may notice some hair loss from the new transplanted area. The transplanted hair will begin to grow again after the inital shedding phase and it will take up to 12-14 months for new hair follicles to grow back strong and healthy.

Unfortunately, neither treatment nor surgery can restore vision once it has been lost due to glaucoma. In glaucoma patients, the abnormally high intraocular pressure (IOP) damages the optic nerve and the neurons in the retina (the light-sensitive tissue lining the rear of the eyes).

Cataracts deteriorate with time. They will impair your ability to drive, read, and see at night over time. Cataract surgery is an elective, so the timing of your procedure is entirely up to you.

In order for a hair transplant procedure to be successfully performed, individual follicular units are extracted from the patient’s donor area and are then transplanted into areas where the patient desires more hair. If someone else’s hair is implanted in your body, your body is likely to consider it as a foreign element and will naturally reject it. In addition, if the severity of hair loss is high and you are experiencing lack of adequate donor hair, then it is probable that a FUE hair transplant will not be the best option for you.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is an alternative to LASIK for patients who are not optimal candidates for the procedure. While the two surgeries are comparable in most respects, the construction of the corneal flap is the primary difference. With LASIK, your ophthalmologist creates a small corneal incision using a laser so that the cornea can be reshaped. In contrast, with PRK, your ophthalmologist removes the cornea's outermost layer (the epithelium) to gain access to the cornea. In the subsequent weeks, the epithelium regenerates, but this delays recovery. 

As LASIK yields faster results, it is by far the most prevalent option. However, patients who are not optimal candidates for LASIK may be recommended PRK. Patients with thin corneas, chronic dry eye, or extreme astigmatism fall into this category. Patients who participate in contact sports (and are therefore more susceptible to eye injuries) frequently choose PRK to prevent a potential corneal flap complication.

Usually patients between the ages of 20 and 55 are considered as the most suitable candidates for a hair transplant surgery. At a younger age, hair loss and hair growth pattern can be irregular and hair loss may continue to worsen as you get older. As time goes by, you may have to undergo more procedures. As long as you are in good health there is no upper-age limit for hair transplantation.

If their vision has stabilized, most adults qualify for LASIK. Your eyesight changes during puberty and into your twenties, but your prescription will change less frequently as you reach visual maturity. If your vision prescription remains unchanged for at least one to two years, you may qualify for LASIK.

Candidates for LASIK must have healthy eyes and no medical conditions that could complicate the surgery or recovery. During laser eye surgery, our ophthalmologists need sufficient corneal tissue to construct the LASIK flap. Patients with narrow corneas may be better candidates for PRK or lens exchange.

During your consultation at the Laser Eye Centre of Istanbul, our ophthalmologists will determine if LASIK is the best method for improving your eyesight.
