If you are not sure if you are a candidate for iLASIK, start here. The initial screening is free. We will start by measuring your prescription, measuring the thickness of your corneas (the front clear part of your eye), showing you an informative video and answering all of your questions.
If it appears that you may be a good candidate for LASIK, the next step is to schedule your preoperative examination. To assure the best visual outcome, you’ll need to leave your soft contact lenses out for one week and hard contacts out for five to seven weeks prior to this exam. This evaluation is extensive and includes taking measurements and assessing the overall health of your eyes. There will be a charge for this exam.
If you are still a good candidate for iLASIK, your doctor will thoroughly explain the benefits and risks of the procedure and answer any questions you may have. We will then schedule your surgery date. You are getting closer to clear vision!
In the days leading up to the surgery, our LASIK coordinator will call or email you with your pre and post operative instructions. We’ll explain your payment options and provide you with all of your prescriptions to use after your procedure.
Dr. Hays will meet with you and your family to answer any remaining questions and review your test results. In order to relax you, we will administer a Valium and escort you to our relaxation room where you can lie down and listen to music. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is done in our Laser Suite. Your friends and family can watch the procedure from our viewing area. Click here to watch the entire experience or contact us and we will email you an animated video.
All of your postoperative appointments are provided for up to three months following your procedure. If you and your doctor decide you need additional laser treatments to improve your vision, these enhancements are provided by VisionFirst free of charge for two years, provided you complete all of your post-operative visits and your eye doctors clears you of any contra indicators for an enhancement.
