LASIK Pre and Post Op Care & Free LASIK Evaluation

Dr. Frank has been involved with LASIK since there were only two lasers in the state. He currently does pre- and post-op care for over fifteen different LASIK Centers and is even an “expert witness” in the field. This sort of background makes Mt. Tam Vision Center an excellent choice to be your LASIK coordinator.

Upon completion of your Free LASIK Evaluation, you will know that:
  • you are a good candidate for LASIK
  • which of the myriad procedures and technologies is best for you
  • that you have reasonable expectations about what it can provide for you
  • which of the many LASIK providers available here in the bay area will best provide those things that you deem important. Most people want good value for money and an excellent surgeon. Those are a given from our perspective. Why individuals choose different providers is about as varied as people getting LASIK. Some people want the surgeon most involved in research or who has the most credentials. Others just want the best hand holding staff. We have worked with most of the LASIK providers so we can help you choose which one will be best for you. If you would like to tour the facilities or meet the surgeons, we would be happy to arrange that for you.
Once you have picked a LASIK center, the next step is a pre-op exam. There are several purposes for this exam. The most important is that we want to rule out any physiological reason why you shouldn’t do LASIK. The last thing we want is for you to have a perfect procedure and not see as well as you had hoped. The other purpose has changed over the years. In the early days, our numbers were what drove the laser. Now that most people have Wave Front driven LASIK, our numbers act as a red flag. The surgeons who have worked together with us over the years know that if our numbers are different than those determined by the Wave Front technology, then everything stops until we figure out why. 
 
If all is well, then our staff will help you set up the appointments for the procedure and for your follow up care. Depending on whom you choose to do the LASIK, either the surgeon, or we, will provide the one day follow-up visit. After that we usually see patients at one week, one month, three months, and six months after the procedure. Of course, if additional visits are required, those are included as part of the follow-up care. Most patients are now electing to add RevitalVision® to their Rehab program.
