Do Not Wear The Contact Lenses
Make sure that you are not wearing contact lenses before the procedure.
Notable Points!
The doctor will strictly prohibit you from wearing the lens one week before if you are intending for the soft contacts and one month before the hard contacts.
Why so?
It is because the wearing of the contacts can not only alter the shape of your cornea but it does also impact the results of the LASIK Procedures.
Wear The Comfortable Clothing
Do not wear what suits you, wear what comforts you during the procedure. Since you’ll be awake during the entire LASIK procedure, the first thing which matters a lot is wearing something comfortable.
Tip
Make sure you are wearing loose clothing which you can wear off easily by not letting them come in contact with the eyes.
Do Not Visit Us Alone
We know that you are strong enough, but for the medical concerns, we can not let you go home on your own and that particularly by driving yourself to your place.
Lasik is the procedure that involves the operation of the cornea. You will face difficulty in focusing on the way.
So it’s better to take someone along with you who would drive you home or take care of you during the procedure.
No Makeup, Please!
The doctors are not going to judge you based on your looks. They will only judge you based on your medical condition. Do not make the treatment process difficult for the doctor by wearing those makeup, perfumes or the lotions

Do not sign off the consent letter without reading it thoroughly. Make it ascertain that you have thoroughly gone through each of the terms and conditions. Alright?
It is for your good. If in case you have any doubt, then do ask the doctor at that time.
