pre/post  lasik

LASIK.......Laser assisted
in-situ keratomileusis​ 
: a surgical operation to reshape the cornea for correction of myopia, farsightedness, or astigmatism in which the surface layer of the cornea is separated to create a hinged flap providing access to the inner cornea where varying amounts of tissue are removed by an excimer laser.     Merriam-Webster
Before LASIK
Prior to considering refractive surgery, patients need to be fully informed about the benefits and risks of available procedures and be counseled on all available treatment options. The optometrist, as a primary provider of eye and vision care services, plays a key role in this process. 

The following factors need to be evaluated prior to refractive surgery:

  • Spectacle Prescription
  • Corneal Thickness
  • Pupil Size
  • Keratometry / Corneal Curvature
  • Previous Contact Lens Wear
After LASIK
Following refractive surgery, the co-managing optometrist should examine the patient. A typical schedule for follow-up evaluation is:
1 day
1 week
1 month
3 months
Additionally, the patient may be seen at 9-12 months, or as needed
