I’m researching options for LASIK pre consultation in Willowbrook Houston and want to hear experiences. I am considering Eye Care Superior optometrist as a starting point but would like more insight before booking.
How thorough should a first LASIK consultation be and what tests are usually included for corneal thickness, pupil size, and dry eye? Should I expect dilation on the same day and how long does the appointment normally take? Is it better to stop wearing contact lenses beforehand and if so for how many days or weeks?
For anyone who went through a
LASIK consultation locally, did they discuss alternative procedures like PRK or SMILE if you were not an ideal candidate? Were costs and financing explained clearly during the LASIK consultation or only after seeing the surgeon? Did they provide a written treatment plan and risk assessment?
I want to know how much interaction there is with the actual surgeon during the LASIK consultation versus only with technicians. Is it realistic to get surgery scheduled quickly after the evaluation or is there usually a waiting period? How important is it to get a second opinion and compare results between clinics?
If you had your pre screening done in Willowbrook Houston, what red flags should I watch for during the consultation to avoid being rushed or oversold?
