| In order to decide whether you're a good candidate for Lasik, your eye doctor will examine your eyes to make sure they are in good health and to determine the kind of vision correction you need. |
|
| Your doctor will also look for signs of dry eye (insufficient tears or reduced quality of tears which may need treatment before lasik). |
|
Also, a corneal topography is usually done to "map" your cornea,together with a pachymetry to measure corneal thickness.
With the new wavefront technology associated with custom LASIK, you also are likely to undergo a wavefront analysis to provide an even more precise map of errors affecting your vision. |
|
| More sophisticated tests are also available (contrast sensitivity function and ocular response analyzer) depending on doctor's recommendation, |
|
 |
|
| to analyze your eye with great accuracy to assess the fitness of your eye for lasik procedure. |
|
| If you are a candidate for Lasik |
|
| You need to remove your soft contact lenses at least 1 week before the exam and laser treatment. For hard and gas permeable contact lenses, this period is 3 weeks. |
|
| On the day of laser treatment, please do not wear any make-up (eye and face), cream, moisturizer, perfume or after shave lotion.Since the laser room is cold, wear warm comfortable clothes. |
