Soft contact lens (SCL) users are required to discontinue the use of SCLs for at least 1 week prior to the refractive screening. Hard contact lens and Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) users are required to discontinue the use of RGPs for at least 4 weeks prior to the refractive screening. Please coordinate closely with our staff if you wish to move the tests to an earlier or later date.

Kindly apply over-the-counter lubricating drops hourly to both eyes during waking hours for at least 1 week prior to the surgery. This will make you feel comfortable with instilling topical medication to your eyes after surgery.

We require no diet restriction prior to the surgery. We suggest that you sleep early the night before surgery. Please make arrangements for someone to be with you following surgery. You may only be released to a responsible adult.

Please do not schedule anything for the rest of the day.

If you have any questions or are uncomfortable about your surgery, please call prior to the surgery date.
