Prerequisite for successful laser surgery is a thorough preliminary examination at our clinic at a prearranged time. Several different examination methods are necessary to obtain a comprehensive picture of your eye. You should plan approximately 2 hours for this. The examinations all take place on one day and are painless.
Eye drops will be administered for the examination of the back part of the eyes. The drops dilate the pupils, which could temporarily impair your vision. Therefore, you must not drive after the examination. We recommend that you arrange for someone to drive you home. In addition, you should not wear contact lenses for 2 weeks before the examination as they may cause an irregular corneal surface, which would result in incorrect measurements.
The preliminary examinations necessary for successful treatment are divided into five parts. Once they have been completed the patient will know whether surgery is an option and which method would be most suitable.
