We will be taking a number of measurements of your eyes. These measurements enable us to measure your unique eye and its characteristics. Contacts specifically alter the shape of your corneal curvature thus altering these measurements. It is important that patients follow these guidelines for contact lens removal prior to their diagnostic evaluation and surgery:
Soft contact lenses – remove them 5 to 7 days prior to your appointment Toric or Soft Astigmatism correcting lenses- remove them for 2 weeks prior to your appointment Hard contact lenses -remove them about 8 weeks prior to your appointment.
