Most glasses and contacts-wearers dream of waking up with a 20/20 vision, not relying on external objects for sight. Lasik surgery turns that dream into a reality. Lasik is currently the most effective and popular laser eye surgery for achieving the perfect vision — no wonder it boasts a 99% patient satisfaction rate and a nearly 100% success rate, according to the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery. You may schedule your consultation at Pack and Bianes Vision Care Optometry.

About Lasik Surgery

LASIK, short for “laser in-situ keratomileusis,” is used to treat vision problems caused by refractive errors, a condition wherein an error in the shape of the cornea prevents your eyes from bending light correctly. Refractive errors are responsible for the most common vision problems, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (loss of vision with age), and astigmatism.

During the LASIK surgery, the eye surgeon uses laser technology to reshape the cornea to restore optimal vision, treating myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, or astigmatism. LASIK surgery has been in practice for over 20 years — in all that time, it has gone through numerous improvements in techniques. In its current form, LASIK surgery has a nearly 100% success rate with a negligible risk of side effects.

If you’re ready to embrace 20/20 vision, schedule a LASIK consultation in Eastlake today.

The Lasik Consultation

At Pack and Bianes Vision Care Optometry, a typical Lasik consultation lasts for about two hours. The consultation will involve pupil dilation, so you need to arrange for someone to drive you back home after the consultation. We also ask patients to stop wearing contact lenses about two-three weeks before the appointment because they produce small and unpredictable changes in the shape of the corneas. The following is a step-by-step overview.

Eye Exams

The Lasik consultation starts with a comprehensive eye examination. Our doctors administer numerous eye tests to rule out underlying vision problems, health problems, and other contraindications for Lasik surgery.

Medical History

The eye doctor reviews your medical and health history to identify high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, lupus, and other possible health concerns that may prevent you from undergoing surgery. Lasik surgery isn’t suitable for patients who are under 18, pregnant, or nursing.

Measurements

The eye doctor measures the inner and outer structures of your eyes to gather key pieces of information that may prove useful to the eye surgeon.

Explanation

Once the tests and measurements are done, it’s your time to learn about the Lasik surgery. The eye doctor will explain how Lasik works, how you should prepare, and what you can expect. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and set realistic expectations for yourself.

Dear Patient,
We are pleased to announce that the California Department of Public Health has given us permission to resume full scope eye care, including preventative care and postponed exams.

At Total Vision Care, the health of our patients, doctors, and associates is our top priority. We are taking precautions to ensure the safety of our community.

Health and safety protocols we are taking:

  • Patients are asked to arrive to their appointment alone and notify us from your vehicle once you arrive (a parent/guardian may accompany a minor and a family member/caretaker may assist a senior). Please call the office and someone will greet you at the door.
  • Prior to your entry a team member will take your temperature, provide you with hand sanitizer and ask you a series of questions regarding your health and possible COVID-19 exposure. Our team members are all subject to these same screening protocols.
  • All doctors, associates, and patients must wear masks.
  • Our team sterilizes all equipment and surfaces after every patient and disinfects all frames prior to placing them back on display.

What we ask of patients:

  • If you have any of the following symptoms, you must reschedule your appointment for a future date: Fever, fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, gastro-intestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, or stomach pains), recent loss of smell or taste.
  • Please bring a mask which must be worn in our facilities at all times.
  • Your patience in adhering to new safety protocols.
  • Please feel welcome to communicate any questions that you have to your Total Vision Care practice associates.

In addition, we will continue to monitor CDC, WHO, governmental, and optometric associations guidelines and make changes as appropriate to protect our community. Thank you so much for your continued support of our practices. We appreciate your patience throughout this process and for trusting us with your eyecare needs.

Sincerely,
