It is completely natural to feel nervous and excited before your procedure, but please plan to arrive as rested and relaxed as possible.

Wear comfortable clothing and make sure to bring a sweater or light jacket, as the surgical room is kept very cool. Do not use creams, lotions, eye makeup, hair spray, perfume, or wear earrings or other jewelry (even jewelry in piercings) above the neck. This is important, as your eye area will be thoroughly cleaned for surgery. Additionally, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic drops will be placed in your eyes.

Prior to your procedure, your surgeon will spend a few minutes explaining everything that is going to take place inside the laser suite, review your treatment plan with you one more time, and answer any final questions you may have. Once you enter the laser suite and lie on your back, your surgeon will operate the laser to perform your procedure. This, of course, is where you personally experience the Woolfson LASIK Difference.

You are in the hands of the best surgical teams in the industry, guided by the sum total of their experience and expertise, and supported by WEI’s wide array of the most advanced and proven technologies. This, of course, is further supported by Stulting Research Center at Woolfson Eye Institute that ensures not just that we are aware of the latest techniques and technologies but that we are actively involved in their development, FDA and other approvals, and the mapping of their full range of capabilities.

Please plan to allow for approximately two to three hours for your procedure. Be sure to bring someone to drive you home, your support person, or make arrangements with your patient concierge and provide the contact information for your support person. In this case, the concierge will call your support person as you are finishing your procedure, to let them know you will soon be ready for pickup.
