Free, no obligation Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK) assessments are available in Wellington where the full treatment package - from the assessment, surgery and post-operative care is undertaken by our experienced and qualified laser eye surgeon, Dr Reece Hall.
Have your surgeon do your assessment
Some eye clinics arrange for a technician to do half of the necessary tests and assessment to check you for suitability for Laser Eye Surgery. This leaves you without really knowing whether you are suitable or what your treatment plan will be until the day of the surgery when you meet the surgeon.
At Bowen Eye Clinic we prefer you to meet your surgeon at the beginning of your journey. This allows you the advantage of having a full eye assessment by an experienced and qualified laser eye surgeon and have all your questions answered.
What is done during a Laser Eye Surgery Assessment?
Your expectations and questions about Laser Eye Surgery will be discussed. A full eye exam is done which includes measuring your refraction (the power of your glasses and contact lenses) and your visual acuity (20/20) on an eye chart. Your eyes are examined with a slit lamp checking the health of your eyes including the cornea, the lens to make sure no cataract is present, and retina and optic nerve to exclude any eye disease such as glaucoma or macula problems. The corneal thickness (pachymetry) is measured with ultrasound. Finally corneal topography is performed with a pentacam tomographer to look for a regular cornea shape and exclude any hidden or early keratoconus. Cornea topography is mapping the cornea shape similar to a topographical map. OCT (Ocular computerised tomography) is also available for further investigation if any other early disease is identified.
No other Laser Eye Clinic in Wellington can offer you the same comprehensive full assessment at the one appointment by the surgeon who will be performing your surgery. At the end of your assessment Dr Hall will be able to tell you if you are suitable for laser eye surgery and will tailor your personalised treatment plan with you.
Have your post-operative care with your surgeon
At Bowen Eye Clinic your surgeon takes responsibility for all your post-operative care. This includes checks the day after surgery, at week 1, month 1, month 3 and month 6. Having the trained professional who undertook your surgery and knows you is a real advantage to ensure you receive the best continuity of post operative care for your eyes.
