Before Eye Surgery

At Eyetech Lasik Clinic we need to satisfy ourselves that we are assessing the health of your entire eye - not just your refractive error.

At your pre-operative assessment we will do an Orbscan™ to map the front and back surfaces of the cornea. This is important because some conditions like Keratoconus are apparent on the back surface of the cornea first. Keratoconus is a condition where refractive laser surgery is not indicated. Topography machines only map the front surface of the cornea and therefore could miss an early case of Keratoconus.

The Orbscan™ will also measure the amount of corneal tissue available for surgery. The Orbscan™ give measurements of corneal thickness in any part of the corneal as opposed to ultrasound machines that measure corneal thickness only where the probe touches. In some cases there may not be enough corneal tissue available for LASIK surgery and PRK may be an alternative procedure. In cases where the corneal tissue is borderline, an ultrasound measurement will also be taken to confirm the Orbscan™ findings.

WASKA Wavefront Analizer:
This instrument is used to analyze optical imperfections in the eye that may cause problems in dim light or at night. This test is done in the dark to immitate the condition in the dark. It analyzes not only your prescription but also detailed wavefront analysis in 12 milliseconds--the fastest on in the maket. It creates the basis for customising your unique and precise coorection for your eyes.

A pressure test will be done to check for glaucoma. Dr. Kadambi will do a full front to back eye examination, including a dilated pupil examination to check the health of the retina and its associated structures. After the pupils are dilated he will do another refraction. Your pupils will be measured in normal and dim lighting conditions. If, for any reason, laser refractive surgery is not in your best interest you will be advised accordingly.
