A Difference to Last a Lifetime

Optometrists are always finding new and effective ways to help serve their patient’s needs.

If you’re looking for a permanent answer for a refractive error like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, laser eye surgery may provide the results you crave.

The Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs can help you find out what laser eye surgery can do for you and your eyes. All you have to do is book a consultation, and we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about laser eye surgery!

Before The Operation

The first thing to do before booking the surgery is to consult your optometrist. Your optometrist will perform a comprehensive eye exam as well as give you a detailed account of what to expect from the procedure.

If you’re a candidate, your optometrist will refer you to an ophthalmologist who can perform the surgery. Once you know the type of surgery you need and you pick a date for the operation, make sure you follow these steps before going in:

• Make sure you have a couple of days booked off work or school following the surgery. Your eyes need some time to heal, and using them a lot may affect the results you’re looking for.
• Make sure you have a reliable mode of transportation following the surgery because you won’t be able to drive for a few days.
• Your optometrist may also recommend taking out your contact lenses a couple of days before the procedure. Some contact lenses can reshape your cornea, which can affect the overall outcome of the operation.
• When you come in for the surgery, please make sure you’re not wearing any clothes that can attract dust or dirt. Flying particles may cause unforeseen complications during the operation.
• We also recommend not wearing any fragrances, colognes, or perfumes that contain alcohol during the surgery. Alcohol may also affect the outcome of the procedure.
