LASIK Consultation

When considering LASIK surgery, it is essential to talk to your doctor and discuss all aspects thoroughly, clearing any doubts. It’s also a good idea to research the surgeon performing your surgery before making the final decision.
‍
Once you have decided to go forward with surgery, you will be scheduled for a LASIK consultation. This consists of a comprehensive eye exam and thorough evaluation if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery. This assessment will also determine the outcome of your surgery. LASIK surgery is performed to reshape your cornea, so detailed corneal topography measurement is needed to confirm your cornea’s shape and thickness to determine if it is safe for you to undergo this surgery.
‍
The examination may be repeated by your LASIK surgeon if you don’t see that doctor regularly to confirm the measurements, which are crucial for surgical decision-making. Sometimes an evaluation may be done on the same day of the surgery. During the LASIK consultation, a comprehensive eye examination is done to determine your corrective prescription and assess the health of your eyes. This is done by dilating your pupils to allow for a thorough examination of the interior of your eye.
