On the day of your procedure, be sure to dress comfortably. Avoid wearing clothing with lots of fibers, cotton and denim is ideal. Strong colognes, perfumes and sprays must be avoided, along with makeup.
When you arrive at Image Plus Laser Eye Centre you will sign your consent forms and take care of other administrative work.
You are then ready to have your eyes prepped. Your eyes lids, eye lashes and surrounding area will be cleansed. You will have an explanation of your post-operative kit along with what to expect in the laser suite. Freezing drops are administered so that all you feel is a slight pressure sensation and a mild sedative will be offered to you.
Once you are prepped and ready, you will be escorted to the laser suite at which time you will comfortably relax on a reclining chair. Much of the time in the operating suite is lining up your eye and confirming your treatment. You will be introduced to the noises of the lasers and your surgeon and his team will then walk you through the treatment.
The treatment will only last a few seconds to minutes depending on how severe your prescription is. Once the treatment is completed, you will then rest for approximately half and hour at which time your surgeon will check your healing. You are then ready to go home and rest for 6-8 hours.
When you awake after your rest you will notice a considerable change in vision. Your surgeon will check your vision the following day at which time he will tell you if you can go and have your glasses restriction taken off of your driver’s license.
After that, you are encouraged to enjoy your new vision until you are seen again at your one week post-operative visit.
