Laser vision correction begins not in the operating room, but with precise diagnostics. Before the procedure, it is important for the doctor to see not only the dioptres and the shape of the cornea, but also how the ocular surface behaves: whether the tear film is stable, whether there is enough moisture, and whether there are hidden factors that could affect comfort after the correction.
Special offer
Advanced pre-operative diagnostics — UAH 2,150
The program includes an in-depth assessment of the ocular surface and of the parameters that help make preparation for laser vision correction more predictable.
Why a standard vision check is not enough
When preparing for laser vision correction, patients often expect that the main thing is to determine visual acuity, refraction and corneal parameters. These are indeed the basics, but they do not give a complete answer to the question of how the eye will feel after the procedure.
The condition of the ocular surface directly affects the quality of recovery. If the tear film is unstable, there are signs of dry eye, or the function of the meibomian glands is impaired, the patient may experience dryness, burning, fluctuations in visual clarity, or a slower return to their usual comfort.
What we examine during advanced diagnostics
The advanced program helps assess not only “whether the correction can be done”, but also how ready the eyes are for it right now. The doctor obtains more data for individual planning of the procedure and for recommendations before and after the intervention.
- the quality and stability of the tear film;
- the level of moisture on the ocular surface;
- the condition of the meibomian glands;
- signs of dry eye syndrome, even when there are almost no complaints;
- factors that may affect comfort during the recovery period;
- the readiness of the eyes for laser vision correction, taking individual features into account.
Who should especially undergo this examination
Advanced diagnostics are useful for all patients planning laser vision correction, but they are especially important if you work a lot at a computer, wear contact lenses, experience dryness or eye fatigue, have occasional redness, or notice that your vision “drifts” throughout the day.
Even in the absence of complaints, there may be changes that are visible only during a special examination. If they are detected early, the doctor may recommend preparatory therapy, change the care plan, or postpone the procedure until the ocular surface is in optimal condition.
What is the benefit of the offer
A comprehensive diagnosis of the ocular surface and dry eye syndrome as a separate service costs UAH 1,150. Within this offer, it is included in the advanced preparation program before laser vision correction for UAH 2,150.
This means the patient receives a broader assessment of eye condition without having to book a separate examination. It saves time, helps to prepare better for the procedure, and gives the doctor more grounds for an accurate decision.
What this gives the doctor and the patient
For the doctor, this diagnostics means additional objective data before planning the correction. For the patient, it means a better understanding of why this particular approach was chosen, which recommendations should be followed before the procedure, and what to expect during recovery.
The goal of advanced diagnostics is simple: to make the path to correction more predictable, to reduce the risk of unpleasant sensations after the procedure, and to select an approach that matches the real condition of the eyes.
How to take advantage of it
Book a consultation regarding laser vision correction and let the administrator know that you would like to undergo advanced pre-operative diagnostics. The final examination plan and the possibility of performing the correction are determined by the doctor after the examination.
