1. We will take automated tests
of your eyes, which include digital imaging of
the eye, computer measured
glasses prescription, corneal thickness, OPD
Wavefront analysis, iris
recognition and internal eye pressure tests. ICL
patients will also have eye
dimension measurements (biometry) and corneal cell
counts. These tests take around
30 minutes and are pain-free.
2. Your personal consultation to
establish if you are suitable for treatment. You
will receive a thorough eye
examination to ensure the health of your eyes and a
second eye test to verify your
prescription. We will discuss your general health,
lifestyle and personal
expectations for good vision. You will be advised of the
risks, alternatives and have the
opportunity to ask any questions. We will then
advise you of your suitability
for treatment. For high prescriptions, eye drops
may be applied to examine the eye
and you may be unable to drive for up to 24
hours while your vision is
blurred. You are welcome to be accompanied.
Contact lenses affect the surface
of the eye and they must be removed before your
consultation and treatment. Eye
tests can be inaccurate if you have not removed
your lenses for long
enough.
• Soft/disposable lenses: do not
wear on the day and use lightly for one week before.
• Soft Toric (astigmatic) and
extended wear soft lenses: leave out for one full week
• Hard, gas permeable: remove for
three weeks before consultation. Soft lenses
may be substituted.
