Prior to your procedure, you will need to have a comprehensive evaluation by your surgeon at Wheaton Eye Clinic. A comprehensive exam includes:

• A fully dilated medical evaluation of your eyes
• Vision check and refraction before and after dilation of your pupils
• Corneal topography (this measures the curvature of your cornea)
• Corneal pachymetry (this measures the thickness of your cornea)
• WaveScan analysis (this measures the fingerprint vision of each eye)
• Pupilometry (this measures the size of your pupils under different lighting)

After your exam, the doctor will review the risks, benefits and goals of laser vision correction to make sure your expectations are achievable. Please keep the following in mind: for a full comprehensive evaluation, you must be out of your contact lenses for the following time periods:

Soft contact lenses – one week

Extended wear contact lenses – two weeks

Gas permeable contact lenses – three weeks
