LASIK and IntraLASIK Screenings - Dr William Boothe

Dr. Boothe believes that the groundwork for a successful LASIK procedure begins during a patient’s initial consultation. During your screening, we will gather general information about your eyes. Resources about LASIK and Dr William Boothe

We will need to know about your lifestyle: a history of glasses and contact lens wear, the physical activities you participate in, your experiences and limitations with glasses and contact lenses; how you expect your life to change after the LASIK procedure. We will discuss expected results with you and answer any questions you may have about your eyes, LASIK, IntraLASIK or other corrective laser procedures. Dr. Boothe will need to know if you’ve had any prior surgical procedures on your eyes, what type they were and when they were performed.

Before Treatment Consultation

To confirm the exact refractive error in your eyes, both Dr. Boothe and a technician will examine your eyes. The technician and Dr. Boothe will refract each of your eyes in an un-dilated state. Your eyes will then be refracted in a dilated state.

The surface of your eyes will be mapped with corneal topography equipment. The corneal topography equipment measures the contour of your cornea. This information is valuable in performing the LASIK procedure. Corneal pachymetry is done to measure the thickness of the cornea.Dr William Boothe blog on ClearBlogs
