Professional Experience
Depending on your health, and the date of your last general checkup, you may be
asked to see your family physician for a brief physical within 30 days before
surgery.
If you have not already done so, please return a signed surgical consent form to us.
Prior to surgery, special painless eye measurements will be done in our office. The
corneal power is measured by a computerized instrument called an autokeratometer.
The A - Scan measures the precise location of the retina using
ultrasound (medical sonar), which is accurate to a tenth of a millimeter. Following
your exam, a computer model will be used to estimate the prescription for your
implant based upon these measurements. The implant is then selected and ordered
in advance.
