Before undergoing LASIK eye surgery, your surgeon will discuss all the possible risks and benefits involved, so you can take your decision accordingly and follow the necessary steps.
If you wear rigid gas permeable contact lenses, you will be asked to stop wearing them at least 3 weeks before and other types of contact lenses 3 days before the evaluation.
Your eyeglasses prescription will be reviewed. Besides fully examining your eyes, your medical history will also be evaluated.
The initial tests will involve… - Measuring corneal thickness - Refraction - Corneal mapping - Eye pressure - Pupil dilation
Do not wear any creams, lotions, eye makeup, perfumes or have bulky accessories in your hair on the day of the surgery as it may interfere with positioning your head under the laser. Remember to flush out any debris from the eyes using artificial tears.
You can have a light meal and take all your prescribed medications before the surgery unless your LASIK surgeon says otherwise. It is advisable to have someone drive you home after the surgery.
In case you feel anxious before the surgery, mention this to the staff or the surgeon as they can help you out with anti-anxiety medication or even postpone the procedure.
