The first step in the LASIK procedure is the evaluation or consultation. During this appointment a trained eye doctor evaluates your results to ensure you’re a candidate for laser eye surgery. After a thorough discussion and exam, we’ll be able to determine if laser eye surgery is right for you. We’ll also recommend the best procedure based on your exam results. We perform a wavefront diagnosis using the WaveScan WaveFront system. Your eye is unique—as personal as your fingerprint or your DNA. The WaveScan WaveFront system creates a 3-D map that provides detailed information of your vision correction requirements to develop a personalized laser vision correction plan.

Please remember, it will be best to discontinue wearing your contact lenses several days before your evaluation appointment. Contact lenses distort the shape of your cornea, and we will want your cornea to have returned to it’s natural shape by the time of your appointment.

Ordinary defects in your vision can be corrected using eye glasses, contact lenses, and traditional LASIK surgery. Normal myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism can be corrected using these traditional methods. However, there are irregularities of the eye that can only be spotted and treated with the Wavefront LASIK technology. The Wavefront LASIK will create an individualized laser correction program for the surface of your eye. This will be guided by a detailed analysis of the errors in your vision as seen in the way light travels through your eye.
