The first step in your journey
to a life free from Spectacles and Contact Lenses involves setting
up a Pre-Procedure Consultation appointment. You can do so at the Schedule an Appointment page, or by calling up the center. Be sure to mention the time convenient
to you, and the doctor who you wish to consult. Please arrive on
time for the consultation, and budget upto two hours for the consultation.
This consultation is important for several reasons.
|
|
|
To determine if you are a
candidate |
|
|
|
To answer your questions |
|
|
|
To learn as much as you can
about laser vision correction, about PRK and LASIK |
|
|
|
To understand the likely
result, especially for your eyes. |
At your pre-procedure consultation,
we perform a thorough eye exam. Your exact refractive error
is determined. Any conditions in your eyes that rule out laser vision
correction in your eyes are looked for. Any other eye problems are
also looked for and explained to you. Two special tests, Corneal
Topography and Pachymetry, are also carried out.
As part of the consultation we provide you information on all aspects
of laser vision correction. This will help you to understand what
you can reasonably expect from laser vision correction. We believe
that if you learn everything you can about the procedure, you can
make an informed decision.
During the pre-evaluation process we will carefully evaluate your
eyes and answer any questions.
If you decide to have the laser procedure, we'll tell you what you
need to do to be ready. Mainly, you'll need to stop wearing contact
lenses before your procedure, one week for soft lenses and four
weeks for hard or gas permeable lenses. You will also need to put
some antibiotic eye drops for a day or two before the procedure. |
