Before the
Pre-Operative Assessment

• Consult the Contact Lens Policy to determine minimum length contact lenses must be removed.
• You may have a pre-operative evaluation done with your own eye care professional at your expense.
• If you are having a pre-operative evaluation done with your own doctor, you are still required to have a complete pre-operative assessment at our Centre before your surgery date. We are unable to confirm your candidacy for RLE, CAT or PRELEX until our tests are completed.
• In consideration of others and to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible, please do not bring children with you to the Centre. The duration of your stay will be approximately 2 hours.
• CATARACT MD will not be held responsible for any costs incurred for travel and/or accommodation, lost employment income or any additional expenses incurred due to the patient being deemed a non-candidate, requiring retreatments, rescheduling, or delays.
• A dilation may be performed, therefore you will experience blurred vision anywhere from 4-7 hours after.
• You may not be able to return to work after the evaluation.
• Eyes may be sensitive to light, so please bring a pair of sunglasses.
