Examination
A precision exam checks your corneal thickness along with other factors.
Complication pathway prevention
Risk managed at the exam, the surgery and after
Before laser vision correction, Sky Eye Clinic measures how much cornea would remain after treatment. If that falls short of its own limits, the surgery does not go ahead.
The limits are set above the US FDA figure, and care continues after you go home, including enhancement surgery when your cornea allows it.
Standards
How much cornea must remain
The cornea has to stay thick enough after laser correction. Your thickness is confirmed in a precision exam first.
Pathway
Three stages, one team
Medical staff stay with you through each stage, to be ready for side effects that can arise before and after surgery.
Surgery
Performed only when your eyes meet the standards above.
Care
Consistent aftercare keeps track of your vision once the operation is over.
After surgery
If your vision drops later
