The goal of refractive eye surgery, or laser vision correction, is to reduce your dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses to a minimum and to increase the comfort of your day to day life.<\/p>\n

Your surgeon will explain the different laser eye surgery techniques as well as their benefits and risks. During this initial visit you will have several eye examinations and an in depth analysis of your cornea to determine whether you are a candidate for refractive laser surgery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What does the preoperative vision evaluation test involve?” tab_id=”1621872188386-93453b1a-b7f6″][vc_column_text]Your ophthalmological surgeon obtains biometric measurements of the eye (pachymetry, anterior and posterior topography of the cornea eye aberrometry).

Eye drops will be administered to dilate your pupils. Your vision will be blurry and your eyes will be light sensitive for several hours because of the eye drops so we recommend that you do not drive after these tests, and that you wear sunglasses to limit any discomfort.<\/p>\n

What if I wear contact lenses?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very important stop wearing your contact lenses for several days before these tests. Contact lenses can affect the surface of the cornea, which could result in incorrect measurements and negatively affect the results of your vision after surgery The cornea must return to its natural shape which can take different amounts of time from one person to the other. It always takes longer for individuals who wear hard lenses than for those with soft lenses and it also depends on how many years you have been wearing contacts.<\/p>\n
