5 Steps to Better Vision

Step 1: Pentacam

On your first visit, a pentacam is used to read corneal topography (corneal curvature) and to measure the corneal pachmetry (corneal thickness).

A pentacam is a comprehensive eye scanner for the anterior eye segment.

Step 2: Refraction

A detailed eye examination is done by our optometrist.

The procedure is talked about in detail with the surgeon and all of your questions and queries will be attended to by our helpful and friendly staff.

Step 3: Wavescan

A wavescan measurement will be taken to map the unique characteristics of your vision.

With this map your surgeon can develop an individualised treatment plan to address your unique vision needs.

Step 4: Procedure

On procedure day, you will be seated in a reclined position. Anaesthetic drops will be placed in your eyes and an IntraLase flap will be created on your cornea.

Your individualized treatment information is transferred from the WaveScan to the laser in order to drive the CustomVue procedure. The actual laser typically takes several seconds. The procedure takes approx. 15 minutes per eye.

Step 5: Postoperative

After surgery, you will notice results almost immediately, and your vision will continue to improve over the next few days.

Typically, you will be scheduled for a follow-up visit the next day, again in about a week, and again around a month after the initial procedure.
