A detailed preoperative evaluation is needed before deciding whether surgery is appropriate. Assessment may include refraction, corneal measurements, tear film evaluation, and examination of the retina and other eye structures as indicated.
Refraction Analysis
Corneal Measurements
Tear Film Evaluation
Retinal Screening
Accurate computerized and subjective refraction to confirm prescription stability and measure degrees of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
High-precision corneal topography and thickness pachymetry to map curvature, structural symmetry, and anterior surface shape.
In-depth ocular surface testing to screen for dry eye, tear break-up irregularities, and pre-existing eyelid margin inflammation.
Dilated fundus biomicroscopy evaluating peripheral retina integrity, macula health, and optic nerve status prior to surgical planning.
Available Options
Depending on the assessment and services provided, options may include laser vision correction or other refractive procedures. Each option has different eligibility criteria, benefits, limitations, and risks.
Refractive surgery does not guarantee freedom from spectacles for every activity or for life. Tailored guidance helps you understand realistic outcomes for your lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can everyone have laser vision correction?
Does surgery eliminate every need for glasses?
How do I find out which procedure is suitable?
No. Some people are unsuitable because of corneal characteristics, unstable prescriptions, ocular surface problems, or other factors.
Not necessarily. Reading glasses or spectacles for some activities may still be needed depending on your age and visual demands.
