How To Prepare For Lasik Eye Surgery

Getting ready for any surgery is a tedious process and preparing for LASIK lase surgery is no different. One must ensure that everything is ready and that you look good. While preparing for LASIK isn't as difficult as with some other surgeries, there are still a few things you need to take care of before you go in for your LASIK eye surgery.

If you are wearing contact lenses, take note. You must remove your contact lenses a few weeks before you have your LASIK consultation.

The reason for this is because some contact lenses reshape your cornea themselves, hence causing problems with LASIK. Here are some FDA recommendations that affect your contact lenses:

• " Soft contact lenses should be taken off and not worn for at least two weeks prior to your LASIK consultation.



• " Rigid gas permeable lenses should be taken off and not worn for at least three weeks prior to LASIK consultation.



• " Hard lenses should be taken off and not worn for at least four weeks prior to LASIK consultation. Next page
