It’s a question we’ll be glad to help you answer. Dr. Olson can evaluate whether you are a good candidate for LASIK* vision correcting surgery, and will make a referral to an experienced, trusted surgeon. We provide the pre-operative and post-operative LASIK care right in our office. So this is a great place to start if you have been thinking about surgical vision correction and are wondering where to turn for reliable information.
Dr. Olson will begin your evaluation with a comprehensive eye examination, including dilation. Accurate measurements of your visual needs will be obtained. We will perform corneal topography to map the corneal surface of your eye. This allows Dr. Olson to determine if there are any corneal defects that could affect the success of LASIK, and provides information for the surgeon. He’ll also measure the thickness of your corneas and pupil sizes. You will be examined for cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease, as well as corneal and macular health.
A decision of this importance should be made in consultation with your eye doctor, not by price shopping, because your vision is precious! By providing post-operative care for many years, Dr. Olson has seen the results of numerous surgeries first-hand and has talked with patients about their experiences with various clinics and doctors. This gives him insight for future referrals and a perspective from which his patients can benefit. Surgical vision correction has become a precise and reliable alternative, when it is done by an experienced doctor with the best technology available. That’s why we work closely with eye clinics such as Wolfe Eye Clinic and TLC Laser Eye Centers to increase the likelihood that you will have a positive surgical outcome.
So if you’ve wondered, “Should I consider LASIK?” call for a consultation today and please mention that you are interested in a LASIK evaluation. We can be reached at 319-385-9534.
* LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis
