This is a guide to assist you through your surgery process and advise you on what to expect.
Step 1: Have a comprehensive eye exam by one of our Optometrists or Ophthalmologists and be diagnosed with cataracts that are mature enough for surgery.
Step 2: Talk with one of our surgery schedulers to get your measurements appointment scheduled. We can tentatively schedule your surgery date(s) at this time. You will be given a packet of information, please read this information over and write down any questions you may have in preparation for your next appointment.
Step 3: Arrive for your measurements appointment, at which time, we will measure your eye for the type of lens implant you need. This appointment is also referred to as A’s & K’s. The doctor will assess the results and discuss the options you qualify for.
Step 3: After having your measurements done, you will meet with one of our surgery schedulers. At this time, we will explain the surgery process, decide on which type of surgery you desire, sign consent forms and schedule your surgery(ies) if we haven’t already done so and schedule your post op visits.
Step 4: The day after your measurements appointment, your prescriptions will be sent in electronically to our compounding pharmacy, unless you request non-compounded drops.
