Refractive & Intraocular Comparison: iLASIK / Femto-LASIK vs No-Touch TransPRK vs Trifocal Smart Lens
Selecting the optimal vision correction protocol based on corneal pachymetry, patient age, presbyopia, and diopter profile.
| Clinical Parameter | iLASIK / Femto-LASIK | No-Touch TransPRK Laser | Trifocal Smart Lens (IOL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Clinical Indication | Ages 18–42 with adequate corneal thickness seeking rapid myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism correction | Thin corneas, dry-eye predisposition, or contact athletes/professionals requiring flapless stability | Ages 40+ with presbyopia (reading + distance glasses), extreme refractive errors, or early cataract |
| Core Technology & Biomaterial | Alcon WaveLight® FS200 bladeless femtosecond flap + EX500 Contoura® topography-guided excimer | Zero-instrument-contact single-step transepithelial excimer ablation + therapeutic bandage lens | Alcon® AcrySof® PanOptix® or Carl Zeiss® AT LISA® tri trifocal / toric intraocular lens |
| Anesthesia & Procedural Protocol | Anesthetic eye drops only (10–15 minutes total for both eyes, zero hospital stay) | Anesthetic eye drops with zero suction ring or blade contact (seconds of laser delivery per eye) | Topical anesthetic drops via micro-incision phacoemulsification (10–15 min per eye, outpatient) |
| Clinical Recovery & Return to Routine | Crisp functional vision the very next morning (3–4 day Istanbul itinerary) | 3–4 days epithelial healing with protective soft lens; progressive clarity over 5–7 days | 4–5 day Istanbul itinerary; shield removed the next morning for near, intermediate, and far focus |
| Structural Longevity & Certification | 22,000-point personalized corneal remodeling on an FDA-approved 1050 Hz eye-tracked suite | Preserves maximum residual stromal biomechanical strength without a corneal flap interface | Lifetime optical clarity permanently preventing cataracts; serialized FDA & CE Optical Implant Card |

What Types of Smart Lenses Are Available?
At ONE CLINIC, there are various types of smart lenses (IOLs), each designed to correct specific visual problems and meet individual needs:
These lenses are designed to provide clear vision at a single distance and are typically set for either near or distance vision. They are ideal for patients who wish to correct far or reading vision while still being able to wear glasses for other distances.
Multifocal lenses enable patients to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances. They are an excellent option for individuals who want to reduce or eliminate glasses for everyday activities such as reading and driving.
Toric lenses, specifically designed for patients with astigmatism, correct the irregular curvature of the cornea to provide clear, sharp vision at a single distance. Next‑generation toric lenses also offer multifocal options.
These lenses provide a continuous range of clarity across near, intermediate, and far distances, making transitions more natural. EDOF lenses are ideal for patients seeking greater flexibility without the need for reading glasses.
Who Can Benefit from Smart Lens Eye Surgery?
At ONE CLINIC, we perform smart lens eye surgery for a broad range of patients. Ideal candidates include:
There are many advantages to choosing a smart lens surgery at ONE CLINIC:
Smart lens eye surgery restores clear vision at various distances, providing natural and sharp sight without the need for corrective lenses.
Many patients no longer require glasses for daily activities such as reading, driving, or computer use after receiving multifocal or EDOF lenses.
The lenses used in smart lens surgery are permanent, meaning the results are long‑lasting. There is no need to worry about cataract recurrence, and the lenses do not degrade over time.
The recovery period after smart lens surgery is rapid, allowing patients to return to their normal activities in a short time.
Smart lens surgery is a well-established, safe procedure with a high success rate. At ONE CLINIC, we utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
Can I go out in the sun after Smart Lens Surgery?
You may go outside after the smart lens surgery, but it is important to protect your eyes from direct sunlight.
How long does the smart lens surgery take?
The smart lens surgery is a quick and effective procedure.
Before Your Smart Lens Eye Surgery – Important Pre-Operative Instructions
Preparing for smart lens surgery at ONE CLINIC involves several important steps to ensure optimal results:
Prior to surgery, you will undergo a comprehensive eye examination to assess your eye health and determine the most suitable type of smart lens for your needs. We will evaluate your vision, check for conditions such as cataracts or astigmatism, and discuss your vision correction goals.
If you wear contact lenses, it is important to discontinue use at least two weeks before the surgery. Contact lenses can alter the shape of the cornea, which may affect the measurements required for lens placement.
On the day of surgery, avoid applying eye makeup, creams, or lotions. Keeping the eye area clean helps reduce the risk of infection.
Since you will not be able to drive immediately after surgery, arrange for someone to take you home following the procedure.
After your smart lens surgery, it is important to care for your eyes properly to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results:
Avoid direct sunlight for at least two weeks after surgery. When you go outside, always wear UV‑protective sunglasses to shield your eyes from harmful rays and support healing.
You will be prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Use them exactly as your ONE CLINIC physician recommends to ensure proper healing.
Do not rub or apply pressure to your eyes for at least two weeks, as this helps prevent complications and ensures proper healing.
Limit your time on digital devices during the first few days after surgery, as prolonged screen use can strain your eyes.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure the success of your smart lens surgery. Your surgeon will check the lens position and your overall eye health.
