During the meeting, you will be asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire about your health status. It is extremely important to fill it out accurately, and inform the doctor of any changes or recent vision problems. In addition, it is important to remove contact lenses before arriving to the exam, to avoid incorrect results of the procedure.

People who wear hard contact lenses are required to remove them at least a week before the exam. Soft contact lenses should be removed two days ahead. The suitability test also includes a coordination of expectations between the patient and the doctor.

It is an opportunity to ask all the questions you have.

Day of the surgery

After you’ve successfully passed all the examinations and have been found suitable for the surgery, you are invited to the laser treatment.

A two-hour stay at the clinic is recommended (no need to worry, the treatment itself takes about 30 seconds for each eye).

It is advisable that you wear comfortable clothes and avoid using makeup and cosmetics two days ahead.

After the administrative procedures and receiving post surgical instructions, you are brought into the preparation room.

In this room a nurse prepares you for the surgery by dressing you in a robe and a cap, cleaning your face thoroughly and sterilizing the area of the eyes, and in the end – anesthesia, using eye drops that anesthetize the eyes, and antibiotic eye drops.

This does not affect your vision, you can see during the whole procedure. The nurse leads you to the treatment room and lays you down on the bed.

The laser treatment isn’t painful at all. The medical staff in the room includes the doctor, the nurse and a technician.

During the whole treatment the doctor talks to you and explains the different stages of the surgery for glasses removal.

Once the treatment of the right eye is finished, there’s a short break.

The details of the other eye are entered into the laser device, then there’s a double check of data matching by two of the staff members, and they can move on to the other eye.

When the procedure is over, the doctor places medical contact lenses on your eyes (without any degree), and applies several kinds of eye drops.

The entire procedure takes about 20 minutes, and afterwards the nurse will give you instructions on how to use the eye drops.
