If you have recently made the decision to have laser eye surgery, you likely have a lot of questions regarding what you should and should not do before your operation, as well as what to expect on the day of your surgery. We have compiled a list of pre-operative instructions for patients for the week and night before your procedure:

LASIK Pre-Operative: Week Before Your Surgery

  • Prior to the day of your LASIK surgery, fill any prescription medications you were given and plan to bring them with you on the day of your surgery.
  • Arrange for a driver to and from your surgery, and expect the total time in our Center on surgery day to be around two hours.
  • Be ready to bring your method of payment with you to the surgery.
  • Review the consent form and complete the patient sections.
  • Make sure you complete the Pre-Op appointment with a dilated exam. This is done either at our Center or at your eye doctor’s office (if applicable). If you need more information, contact us at 1-855-Trust-LVC.

LASIK Pre-Operative: Night Before Your Surgery

  • Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages the night before your LASIK eye surgery. While one to two drinks are permissible, dehydration can occur if you consume more than that. Dehydration can affect the outcome of your LASIK surgery.
  • Get plenty of rest.

Please call our team with any questions! We are here to provide any information we can to ease any nerves and prepare you for your LASIK surgery. When you choose LASIK Vision Centers of Cleveland, you will receive comprehensive patient support both before and after your surgery.

I can't thank you enough for giving me clear vision--it's truly a life-changing experience!"

"I was referred to LVC by my eye doctor, and I am so glad he partnered with this amazing team. Everyone in the office is extremely helpful and very caring. Dr. Eippert is an amazing surgeon and is very clear on what he needs from you as a patient. He took the time to call me after my surgery to make sure I was still doing ok. LVC has top-of-the-line equipment which makes for an easy and painless surgery. I have recommended LVC to all my friends and relatives looking to get Lasik. I would not go anywhere else!"

"My experience with Lasik Vision Centers of Cleveland was amazing! They did a great job of keeping me informed before, during, and after the surgery. The doctor even called me that evening after the surgery to check on me and make sure I was doing well. I can now see my clock when I wake up in the morning. I'm thrilled with the results and would highly recommend LVC of Cleveland."
