If you're considering LASIK surgery to improve your vision, it's crucial to undergo a series of essential tests before LASIK surgery. These evaluations ensure that you're an ideal candidate for the procedure and help the surgeon create a tailored treatment plan. At Clear Sight Eyecare, led by Dr. Sonia Maheshwari, we prioritize precision and safety to deliver outstanding results.


Why Are Pre-LASIK Tests Important?


What Are the Essential Tests Before LASIK Surgery?

  1. Corneal Topography and Thickness Measurement

    This test maps the shape and thickness of your cornea. It helps identify any irregularities and ensures your cornea can handle the reshaping process during LASIK.

  2. Pupil Size Evaluation

    The size of your pupils affects how your eyes adapt to light after LASIK. Large pupils may increase the risk of glare and halos post-surgery.

  3. Tear Film Analysis

    A tear test evaluates whether you have dry eyes, which is critical since dry eye syndrome can affect LASIK outcomes.

  4. Refractive Error Measurement

    This test identifies your current prescription for glasses or contact lenses to determine the correction needed during LASIK.

  5. Dilated Eye Exam

    A comprehensive eye exam checks for any underlying conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal issues.

  6. Wavefront Analysis

    This advanced test creates a 3D map of your eye, helping your surgeon customize the procedure for optimal clarity and sharpness.

  7. General Health and Medical History Assessment

    Your overall health, medications, and past surgeries are reviewed to rule out contraindications.
