Providing Laser Eye Surgery in Brisbane since 1991
Your Assessment - What to expect
- Allow 1 hour of your time
- Wear your glasses
- Leave your soft contact lenses out for at least 3-4 days prior
- Leave RGP/hard contacts/Ortho-K lenses out for at least 2-3 weeks prior
- Bring sunglasses: Your eyes will be sensitive to the light and glare
- DO NOT DRIVE after the assessment as your pupils will be dilated
During the assessment we use eye drops which will dilate your pupils to gain more accurate scans and measurements. Their effect usually lasts 3-4 hours, but can last up to 24 hours. Reading vision will be blurry for around 3-4 hours.
Contact lenses make the results inaccurate, so it’s important to follow the above guide.
