What happens on the day of treatment?

On the day of the treatment, some patients may undergo additional testing. You will be asked to sign an informed consent which we will go over with you prior to your procedure. Once all necessary measurements are taken, you will be prepared for surgery with an anti-anxiety medication and a thorough cleaning around the eyes. We will instill antibiotic and numbing eye drops.

It is important for you to not wear contact lenses prior to the procedure and that measurements are taken after the contact lenses are out. We usually do additional measurements a day or so before the procedure day, but sometimes, again before your procedure. You should avoid alcohol and medications. We advise you to wear comfortable, warm clothing as the laser suite can be quite cold. Also, do not wear make up.

You will then be taken inside the surgical suite where the procedure is performed by Dr. Sandy T. Feldman along with technical assistants, so that we may achieve the best quality of vision. Where possible, information from the wavefront, both the prescription and small imperfections of your eye, is digitally transferred to the laser to customize the procedure for your eyes.

To see if you are a good candidate for laser vision correction surgery, contact ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center.
