Some essential criteria include, but are not limited to:

Our first priority is your happiness and well-being, and clearing up any doubts helps to guarantee that decisions are made carefully and sensibly.

In order to assess your candidacy further, our doctors will perform a battery of thorough tests during your LASIK consultation. Certain tests might be new to you, while others might be familiar from prior eye exams. During the visit, our doctors will be available to make sure you are comfortable, go over the purpose of each test with you, answer any questions you may have, and go over your results in detail. We’re here to support you at every stage, and your comprehension and trust in the process are crucial.

Ability to Focus

Many of the tests that our professionals will perform are likely ones you’ve already had done if you typically wear contacts or glasses. Your eyes’ capacity to focus and the clarity of your vision will be closely examined by our doctors. With a variety of manual refraction tests, such as the well-known “Pick One or Two” technique, our experts will assess your vision from different perspectives. To verify the results of manual refraction and measure light scattering and vision quality as light enters your eyes, computerized analyzers will also be utilized. These thorough evaluations let our specialists decide which course of action will best improve your vision.

Dilated Eye Exam

Our doctors will utilize a solution to dilate your pupils, allowing them to examine the lens and retinas at the back of your eyes. Refraction measurements will be taken once your pupils have fully dilated. This step enables our experts to corroborate the initial refraction findings and obtain more precise measurements, ensuring thorough assessment and accuracy in diagnosis.

Front of Your Eyes

We use high-resolution scans to assess your eye tissue at a microscopic level. You’ll look into high-definition digital scanners to capture detailed images of your eye surface and lens. These scans help evaluate your cornea, tear film, eyelid health, and early cataract signs. They also provide detailed data on corneal curvature, shape, and thickness.

Inside + Surface of Your Eyes

We’ll use a digital device to capture images of your retinas or the inner eye structure. The retina processes incoming light rays and sends nerve impulses to your brain, enabling vision. These images allow our doctors to assess the health and function of your retina. Additionally, they’ll evaluate tear film composition and volume to ensure it’s suitable for LASIK surgery.

Other Eye Measurements

Utilizing a high-powered microscope, our doctors meticulously scrutinize the intricate structure of your eyes, uncovering any potential hidden issues. This crucial examination stage involves screening for conditions like diabetes, allergies, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Additionally, precise measurements of your eye dimensions, including length, width, and pupil size, are taken to ensure thorough evaluation and personalized care.
