Laser Eye Surgery Consultations in
San Clemente

The first step towards laser eye surgery is a consultation. In this consultation, your optometrist will determine if laser eye surgery can improve your vision. Laser eye surgery could help correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

During your consultation, your optometrist will screen for various eye health conditions that may affect your candidacy for surgery, including:

• Dry eye disease
• Frequent eye infections
• Eye conditions and diseases
• Diabetes
• Overly large pupils

Following your exam, your optometrist will want to outline a few details about the surgery, talk about your expectations, and discuss your recovery.

It’s important to understand that laser eye surgery doesn’t always result in 20/20 vision. About 90% of patients achieve 20/20 or 20/40 vision, but some still require glasses or contact lenses.

Once we’ve determined your candidacy for surgery, we’ll refer you to one of our trusted ophthalmologists.

Following your surgery, we’ll book a series of follow-up appointments at Griffin Optometric Group – Talega to ensure that your eyes are healing correctly.

You can expect some side effects post-surgery, including:

• Glare
• Dry eyes
• Sensitivity to Light
• Blurred vision
• General discomfort

These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process, but if they appear to be escalating, contact us right away.
