Lasik Consultations Eagan

With a thorough assessment of your existing medical records, medical history and a range of other factors, one of our experts will consider if you’re eligible for laser surgery. The medical history has a considerable effect on your LASIK surgery acceptance as well as your general health condition. Providing to-be patients with the right knowledge is the main thing as it helps our practitioners to discover any hidden problems that must be addressed. The prerequisites include, but are not restricted to:

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

Your past medical records are carefully examined by our professionals to see if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery. At this important moment, we really want you to share any personal concerns you may have. Precise data is essential. Our main goal is to make sure that choices are made sensitively and with careful thought, and we will answer any questions you may have.

During your LASIK consultation, our doctors will run a number of comprehensive tests to assess your continued suitability for the procedure. You may be familiar with some of the tests from previous eye exams, while others may be completely new to you. Our doctors will check on you throughout your consultation, address any concerns you may have, describe the aim of each test, and go through your results in great detail. We’re here to support you every step of the way, so it’s critical to understand and have faith in the process.

Ability to Focus

Many of the tests you have already had will likely be completed by our professionals if you wear contacts or glasses on a regular basis. They will carefully evaluate how clear your vision is and how well your eyes can focus. They will perform a range of manual refraction tests, including the well-liked “Pick One or Two” approach, to assess your vision from various perspectives. In order to confirm the outcomes of the manual refraction, digital analyzers will also assess light scattering and vision quality as light enters your eyes. These thorough assessments let our professionals determine the best course of action for enhancing your vision. 

Dilated Eye Exam

With the use of a solution, our doctors will enlarge your pupils so they can examine the lens and retinas in the rear of your eyes. After your pupils have fully dilated, their refraction will be measured. At this point, our experts may verify the initial refraction results and obtain more precise measurements, ensuring a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis.  

Front of Your Eyes

We use high-resolution scans to assess your eye tissue at the microscopic level. You will look into high-definition digital scanners to obtain exact images of the lens and surface of your eyes. These scans evaluate the condition of your eyelids, cornea, tear film, and any early signs of cataract formation. They also provide comprehensive details about the cornea’s thickness, form, and curvature.  

Inside + Surface of Your Eyes

Using state-of-the-art digital equipment, we will capture detailed images of your retinas or the internal structure of your eyes. The retina is responsible for processing incoming light rays and transmitting nerve impulses to the brain, both of which are required for vision. These photos allow our doctors to assess the health and performance of your retina. Furthermore, they will evaluate the tear film’s quantity and makeup to ensure that it meets the criteria for LASIK surgery.  

Other Eye Measurements

Our experts can thoroughly identify any possible hidden anomalies by precisely examining the complex architecture of your eyes under a powerful microscope. A crucial aspect of this evaluation procedure involves checking for diseases like allergies, diabetes, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Your eyes’ length, width, and pupil size are also meticulously assessed to provide a thorough assessment and personalized treatment.
