The Vision Correction Process Explained
Talk with our expert vision correction team about your surgical options and what it could mean for your vision.
Here is a look at how we determine your candidacy:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Vision correction is an art, and every patient is unique. During your initial consult, we will review your eye and medical history, learn about you and your lifestyle, and perform a series of in-depth tests. Our expert team will then initiate a discussion explaining your candidacy and options for vision correction surgery that will maximize your visual freedom.
Step 2: Pre-operative Testing
Once we have decided on the best procedure for you, you will undergo a series of scans and tests to verify certain key measurements that will ensure optimal outcomes. We strongly feel a thorough pre-operative testing protocol is an important step of the vision correction process.
Step 3: Pre-Surgery Meeting
Our expert team wants you to be fully involved in the journey to visual freedom. During this appointment, we will review everything from pre- and post-op instructions, what to expect on the surgical day, and what to expect afterwards. We pride ourselves on being there for you – every step of the way!
Step 4: Surgery
On your big day, Dr. Patel will meet with you and answer any final questions that you have. During your procedure, Dr. Patel will play your favorite tunes while he does his magic! His goal is to deliver elite results in a safe, comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere!
Step 5: Post-Operative Care
Your procedure may be done, but we’re not ready to say goodbye! During your post-operative visits, we will ensure that your recovery is going as expected, and that you are ecstatic with your new vision! During this time, you will always have access to our team of experts.
Step 6: Annual Visits
After your final post-operative visit, we encourage our patients to maintain healthy eye care for life by visiting us annually. No matter how long after your procedure, our doors will always be open for you!
