Pre-Surgery Exam
A comprehensive pre-procedure exam ensures a great end result
When you have decided in favour of an eye surgery, you should first attend a comprehensive vision and eye exam. During the pre-procedure exam, the eye doctor will determine which method suits your eyes best.
Please reserve 2 hours for a pre-procedure exam. During that process, we will use eye drops that widen the eye pupil, therefore your vision might be blurry for approximately 3 hours during which time we advise you not to drive a car.
Please don’t use contact lenses 7 days prior the exam.
Tests performed during the examination:
- Refractometry – measuring the eyes’ optical strength
- Measuring the eye pressure
- Lens Metric – measuring the strength of glasses
- Measuring vision acuity
- Measuring the size of pupils
- Measuring the eyes’ tear production (dry eye test)
- Cycloplegia – widening the pupils in order to study the fundus of the eye
- Examining the eyes’ surface and bottom with a microscope
- Pahymetry – measuring the thickness of the cornea
- Topography – mapping the cornea
Laser procedure is suitable for people:
- over 18 years of age
- whose eyeglass or contact lens strength hasn’t changed during the past year
- who have a good eye and overall health
Laser eye surgeries are not recommended for people:
- who are younger than 18 because the development of eyes is still ongoing
- who have cataract
- who have keratoconus
- who have a heart pacemaker
- who are pregnant or are breastfeeding
