Patient Education: Laser Vision Center

What to expect from your free consultation

In order for us to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for laser vision correction surgery, we will meet with you to learn about your medical history and run a series of tests.

• We will begin by taking a complete medical history. This will take a few minutes. We also will examine your eyes under a biomicroscope. This is called a slit lamp evaluation.
  
• Next, you will undergo a complete corneal analysis, which includes:
  • Corneal topography (to determine the shape of your cornea)
  • Corneal thickness measurement
    
• We will thoroughly assess your corrected vision (i.e. with glasses).
  
• The final step in the screening will be a pupil size assessment.

Following the screening, our surgeon will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of vision correction procedures. By having the most accurate, up-to-date information, you can decide which vision correction surgery is right for you.

If you have any further questions, please call us at (888) LUHS-888 and ask to speak with one of our laser vision correction specialists.
