How Do I Prepare for My Lasik Consultation?
Your Lasik consultation requires very little preparation on your part. You will be asked not to wear contact lenses for the two weeks prior to your Lasik consultation. This is because contact lenses can cause small changes in the shape of your eyes and it is important that tests and measurements taken during your consultation are as precise as possible.

What Should I Expect from My Lasik Consultation?
At your Lasik consultation, your Total Vision Care optometrist will determine whether Lasik surgery may be an effective treatment option for you. Your optometrist will conduct many of the tests you are used to undergoing during your regular eye exam to determine your current vision level, each eye’s ability to focus, and examine the cornea and inner structures of the eyes. In addition to these tests and pupil dilation, your optometrist will complete a series of high resolution scans of the inside of the eye and of the eye’s surface.
The goal is to gather as much information as possible for your surgeon to help ensure the success of your Lasik surgery. The tests themselves are painless, however you should set aside at least 2 hours for your appointment. Because pupil dilation is required, you may need someone else to drive you home afterwards.
