What Happens After the Procedure?
Please remember that your follow-up care is as important as the actual procedure.
-
Wear the sunglasses provided. Most other varieties do not provide adequate protection. Follow the eye drop regimen recommended by the surgeon.
-
Your first mandatory post-operative appointment will take place at our Centre within 24 hours following your surgery. Your appointment time will be given to you immediately after your surgery.
-
Following your 24-hour visit you are required to attend 2 additional post-operative appointments. Post-operative examinations are required at 1-2 weeks, and 1 month from the surgery date for RLE and CAT, with optional appointments at 6 months and 1 year. These exams may be done Monday through Friday, with an additional charge for Saturday appointments. Post-operative examinations are included in the price of surgery provided that they are conducted at the same location where your procedure was performed. If you wish to schedule your post-operative visits at another CATARACT MD location, an additional fee of $49 (price subject to change without notice) per visit will apply.
-
If you choose to use your own eye care professional, your doctor will require post-operative forms. After your 24-hour post-operative appointment you will receive, via fax or mail or in person, your refractive surgical report and post-op form for your own eye care doctor.
-
Each post-operative appointment in our Centre takes approximately 15 minutes; it helps us to evaluate the healing process of your eyes and to guard against infection.
