Before laser eye surgery
- ~1.5 hourslength of the exam
- 10 / 20 dayssoft / hard contact lens break before it
- 1–2 monthshow long the result is valid
We use the most modern instruments during the exam, so that we can give as precise an opinion as possible on what result laser vision correction can bring for you.
On the day of the exam
- You may have breakfast on the day of the exam; there is no need to come with an empty stomach.
- The exam takes about one and a half hours. During it we dilate your pupils with eye drops, which makes the eye sensitive to light, and until about the next morning you will not see sharply up close, and sometimes not at distance either.
- So we strongly advise against driving after the exam. Sunglasses are recommended, as they greatly reduce light sensitivity.
- Do not wear soft contact lenses for at least 10 days before the exam; for hard lenses this is twice as long, 20 days. This is very important, as lenses can affect the measured values!
- Please come without make-up.
- Bring your earlier eye and internal medicine records.
- The result of the exam is valid for 1–2 months. After that, the exam may need to be repeated before laser vision correction.
Before keratoconus (CXL) treatment, contact lenses must be removed 1 month before the procedure – see keratoconus treatment.
