We offer a 10-point complimentary consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for Laser
Vision Correction:
- We "read" your old eyeglass prescription to make sure your prescription is stable,
- Perform a computerized, infrared Auto-Refraction (AR) to objectively determine your refractive status,
- Perform a Computerized Topography to check the front curvature of your eye to make sure it is not warped,
- Check pupil size with a pupillometer to make sure you are not at high risk for glare or halos after surgery,
- Determine eye dominance in case you wish to have monovision
- Perform a thorough Slit Lamp Examination (SLE) to check the anterior structures of your eye,
- Perform Applanation Tonometry to make sure you do not have glaucoma
- Discuss Mono-Vision with you and perform a simulation if you wish to avoid reading glasses when older,
- Check for Dry Eye Syndrome and discuss therapeutic options after LVC to help treat dryness,
- Allow you to be examined by and speak personally with Dr. Chynn, who will answer all your questions.
The Free Consultation is $0--that's why it's called a free consultation!:)
In your Free Consultation, you will have preliminary testing by Dr. Chynn's Staff and MEET WITH DR. CHYNN HIMSELF, WHO WILL PERSONALLY EXAMINE YOUR EYES.
Please make sure you are out of your contact lenses for at least 1 week before this exam, or your topography may show distortion and need to be repeated later. Use artificial tears a few times a day, also before you come in, for the same reason.
Bring in your latest pair of distance and reading glasses, your eyeglass and contact lens prescription, your contact lens box with the numbers on them, and the name and number of the last eye doctor you saw (MD or OD)! The more information we have, the better we can determine the stability of your eyes, and if you are a good candidate.
Dr. Chynn has had LASIK himself, and is now 20/20 without glasses, and he performed Bladeless All-laser No-Cut No-Flap LASEK with CustomVue WaveFront on his ENTIRE STAFF, all of whom now see BETTER than20/20, so they can answer ALL your questions!
After your Free Consultation, if you are told you are a good candidate, and decide to proceed with LASIK or LASEK, you will pay a (non-refundable) work-up fee of $299, which goes towards your surgery.
