Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What kinds of exams are needed to determine if you are a candidate? - Back to top
- A: Your eye doctor can determine if you’re a possible candidate for laser vision correction. You would then be scheduled for an appointment with Dr. Kansal for a LASIK exam. After a thorough examination, Dr. Kansal would determine if you were a good candidate for laser vision correction.
- Q: Do I have to go without contacts before laser vision correction? - Back to top
- A: It is very important to remove soft contacts 2-3 weeks before your LASIK exam and procedure date. If you are wearing gas-permeable lenses, they should not be worn for 4-6 weeks before your LASIK exam and procedure date. Contacts re-shape the eye; therefore, we want the eye to return to its normal state before the measurements are taken.
- Q: How long will the treatment last? - Back to top
