Your in - depth consultation includes preliminary diagnostic tests, an examination by the following tests are used to establish your eligibility for laser vision correction. The information gathered from the Wave Scan identifies and measures optical imperfections, providing the surgeon with a detailed, accurate prescription and optical map of your eyes.
Lensometry: We check your eyeglasses to determine your current prescription strength.
Autorefraction:An automated refractor reads how light passes through your eye in order to help determine your baseline prescription.
Tonometry: Used to measure your eye pressure. It is a key indicator in diagnosing the eye condition glaucoma.
Orbscan:Gives detailed information on your cornea (the outer surface). It provides the optometrist and surgeon with accurate information about the surface shape and thickness of your cornea and how this varies from the center to the periphery.
Visual Acuity Testing: Measures the eye's ability to see details at near and far distances. These tests usually involve reading letters or looking at symbols of different sizes on an eye chart. Your uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) is what you see without glasses or contact lenses while your best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is what you see with the optimum correction in place.
Refraction:Your optometrist verifies your current prescription and compares this to the lensometry readings and previous prescription details to ensure stability.
Cycloplegic Refraction:Eyedrops are used to relax your eye muscles and allow your optometrist to determine how your prescription may to change over time.
Pupillometry:This test takes a measurement of the size of your pupils in the dark when they are at their largest, using infrared technology.
Pachymetry: The Pachymeter is an ultrasound device used to determine the thickness of your cornea in any given location. The thickness of your cornea is very important when determining whether you are a suitable candidate for laser vision correction.
Slit Lamp Exam: This test uses a microscope and a small beam of light to examine every part of your eyes.
Eye Dominance:This test measures which of your eyes is the dominant or stronger eye.
Retinal Exam:The optometrist will assess the health of your internal eye, particularly the retina. The drops that were used for the cycloplegic refraction aid in this exam as well, providing an excellent comprehensive view of the retina.
Our optometrists have extensive training and experience in the management of refractive surgery. Annual continuing education, peer review, and ongoing assessment are non - negotiable protocols for maintaining the high standard expected at sardana eye institute.
The Day of Your Procedure
On the day of your procedure, allow a half day for your visit to the clinic. This ensures ample time for discussion and any final measurements to be taken. You will be unable to drive after the procedure, so be sure to make arrangements for your transportation home.
Since a local (not general) anesthetic is used, you can eat and drink normally on the day of your visit. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Do not wear any make - up, creams, mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, deodorant, or perfume on the day of treatment.
Contact lenses can change the shape of your cornea. Since laser vision correction treats your cornea, it is important to allow time for your cornea to return to its normal curvature by not wearing contact lenses prior to your consultation and procedure. You should stop wearing them for at least one week prior to treatment. If you wear rigid gas permeable lenses, you should stop wearing them one month prior to your procedure. If these guidelines are not followed, it could affect the results of your treatment.
The success of your laser treatment depends on several factors, including the expertise of the surgeon and team and the advancement of the technology used. At, sardana eye institute our priority is to bring you optimal clinical results while maintaining the highest level of safety.
