There are two appointment options -

Option One:

Schedule an FREE LASIK Consultation session, at which time you will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Seibel and undergo an abbreviated screening process to see if you fall roughly within the range of treatable corrections. This exam takes about 45 minutes.

Option Two:

Schedule a full LASIK Evaluation, which takes longer than the shorter screening visit, approximately 90 minutes. This appointment includes the initial screening, plus the pre-operative exam. If you are reasonably interested in pursuing LASIK, this more comprehensive appointment would be appropriate for your initial visit, since it is ultimately required to determine if you are indeed a good candidate for the LASIK surgery. Scheduling your date for LASIK surgery can also be addressed at this visit.

Medical history:

During either choice of LASIK appointment, you will be asked about your medical history, ocular history, medications, allergies, visual needs for work and recreation, and your visual goals. Giving this some thought in advance will help us counsel you toward your best option for laser vision correction.

Contact lens wear:

If you are a contact lens wearer, you will be asked to remove your lenses for a specific time period prior to your LASIK evaluation.

Contact lenses warp the corneal surface and lead to measurements that are not representative of your true refraction. The time interval required for removal depends upon the type of lens and how long you have been wearing them.

For the initial LASIK consultation (Option One), patients may wear their contacts up to the day of the appointment, but if possible should discontinue them 1 to 2 days prior.

Soft lenses
At least 2 weeks prior to LASIK exam
At least 2 weeks prior to LASIK eye surgery

Gas permeable and true hard (PMMA) lenses
At least 3 weeks prior to LASIK exam - if you have worn them for more than 10 years an additional week for each decade of wear is usually required. At least 3 weeks prior to LASIK eye surgery

Follow this advice in order to avoid unnecessary risk of complications or reduce the effectiveness of your LASIK eye surgery.

Someone to drive you home:

A comprehensive LASIK exam requires that your pupils be dilated with eye drops. This enables us to thoroughly examine and accurately measure the eye. The drops that are used are longer lasting than what you may be accustomed to from past visits to the eye doctor.

These will leave your vision somewhat blurry and brighter than normal for about four hours. We recommend that you bring a pair of dark sunglasses and a friend or family member to drive you home afterwards. We also offer a type of eye drop that reverses dilation (reducing the time to about one hour), although many patients prefer not to use it because it usually causes side effects of irritation and redness.
