When you come in for a complimentary consultation for laser eye surgery or any other vision correction procedure, you can anticipate several important elements:
What Should I Expect During a Free Eye Consultation?
First Evaluation
The consultation will probably start with a comprehensive eye health and vision assessment. This may involve examining your medical history, current medications, and any preexisting eye issues.
Virtual Assessment
Your eyesight will be assessed using traditional charts to identify your prescription and any refractive issues like near-sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
Eye Examination
Your eyes will be thoroughly examined to evaluate their health. This may include inspecting the external structures of your eyes, evaluating eye pressure, and examining the internal structures of your eyes with specialised instruments.
Exploring Options
Your eye care specialist will go over different vision correction choices you have, such as laser surgery (like LASIK, PRK, LASEK or RLE), along with other options like glasses or contact lenses.
Candidate Evaluation
After reviewing your assessments, the optometrist will decide if you are a good fit for laser eye surgery or Lens replacement vision correction procedures. Various factors like your prescription, corneal thickness, and overall health of your eyes will be considered.
Procedure Explanation
If you are considered a good candidate for the surgery, the optometrist will provide a detailed explanation of the procedure. This will cover how it operates, what to anticipate before, during, and after the surgery, possible risks and complications, and anticipated results of laser surgery corrections and replacement surgery. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the procedure, recovery process, potential side effects, cost, financing options, or any other concerns you may have.
Personalised Treatment Plan
If you choose to move forward with laser or lens surgery, a personalised treatment plan will be created to suit your specific needs and preferences. A complimentary consultation allows you to get tailored advice and suggestions on improving your vision and choosing the right path for your eye care.
