Lasik Consultations Becker

Before we recommend LASIK, our doctors take the time to thoroughly assess your medical history and eye health to determine if the procedure is the best option for you. Your general health is a key factor in the success of LASIK, and by providing complete and accurate information, you help us identify any potential risks or concerns that could affect the results.

During this comprehensive evaluation, we consider a variety of important factors, including but not limited to:

• Family History or Current of Systemic or Eye Pathology
• Allergies to Any Medications
• Environmental Conditions Impacting Your Vision or Ocular Health

Selecting LASIK as your vision correction option starts with a thorough review of your medical history. Our doctors take the time to assess your eye health and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. We value open communication and encourage you to share any relevant health details, as this helps us create a treatment plan that is both safe and personalized for your needs. Your well-being and confidence are our primary focus, and we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way throughout the process.

At your LASIK consultation, our doctors will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health through a series of tests. While some of these may be familiar to you, others will offer a deeper insight into the condition of your eyes. The team at Art of Optiks is dedicated to explaining each test clearly, answering any questions you have, and discussing your results in detail. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident throughout the process, offering the support you need to make the best decision for your vision.

Ability to Focus

If you wear glasses or contacts, some of the tests during your LASIK consultation may be familiar to you. Our specialists will carefully evaluate how your eyes focus and identify any factors affecting your vision. We use a blend of traditional manual refraction tests, such as the classic “Which is clearer: one or two?” along with advanced digital technology to assess how light travels through your eyes. This combination of methods allows us to accurately measure your vision and create a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs for sharper, clearer eyesight.

Dilated Eye Exam

To gain a detailed understanding of your retinas and lenses, our doctors will use a gentle eye drop solution to dilate your pupils. Once fully dilated, we’ll recheck your refraction to refine and confirm the initial measurements. This process ensures we gather the most accurate data, providing an in-depth evaluation of your eye health and helping us determine the optimal treatment options to improve your vision.

Front of Your Eyes

To gain a deeper understanding of your eye health, our doctors use advanced high-resolution scans that capture clear, detailed images of both the surface and the internal structures of your eyes. As you focus on the digital scanners, they’ll provide precise images of your cornea, lens, and tear film. These scans are essential for evaluating the health of your cornea, eyelids, and tear film, and they can also help us detect early signs of cataracts.

The detailed images help us assess the curvature, shape, and thickness of your cornea, which guides us in making the best decisions for your vision care. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re here to walk through each step with you, so you feel confident in the path forward.

Inside + Surface of Your Eyes

Using advanced digital imaging technology, our doctors capture high-resolution scans of your retina—the part of your eye that processes light and sends visual signals to your brain. These detailed images allow our specialists to carefully examine the health and functionality of your retina. Along with this, we evaluate your tear film to ensure it’s functioning properly, as a healthy tear film is crucial for maintaining eye comfort and ensuring a successful LASIK outcome. This thorough assessment provides a complete picture of your eye health and helps us tailor the best treatment plan for you.

Other Eye Measurements

Using a specialized microscope, our doctors conduct a detailed inspection of your eyes to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately visible. This comprehensive evaluation helps detect early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and allergies. In addition to assessing the overall structure of your eyes, we also measure key aspects like pupil size and the dimensions of your eyes, ensuring a precise and thorough understanding of your eye health for optimal treatment recommendations.
