Getting LASIK surgery is an effective way to improve your vision so that you may no longer need to wear glasses or contacts. Like any surgery, there are certain ways that you will need to prepare for the procedure. At Vision 3C Specialists in San Antonio, TX, we provide LASIK and will help you prepare. Our ophthalmologist, Dr. Fernando Trujillo, will answer any questions you have about the procedure. Here are some tips on how to prepare.

Your Contacts

If you are a contact lens wearer, our eye doctor will likely tell you not to wear them for a specific amount of time before your LASIK procedure. Your contacts can make changes to your cornea, and that can lead to problems when you get your LASIK done. Our ophthalmologist will tell you how long you have to leave them out before your procedure takes place. Depending on the type of contacts you wear, it could be several weeks that you have to go without them.

Wear the Proper Clothing

What you wear to your procedure should fit into the dress information that our doctor gives you. This usually means wearing comfortable clothing that doesn't have a tight neck that could make it harder to take off that item. Your outfit should not have loose fibers, glitter, or other small items, like hairs, that could get into the air and into your eyes. This could cause complications in the procedure.

Get a Ride Home

Arrange a ride to get to our facility, and make sure that you have a ride home. You will be unable to drive after your procedure. It's also necessary to take a few days off work so that you can get the kind of healing rest you need.
