Once you have decided that LASIK is right for you, we will run a series of tests to evaluate your vision. It is much like a normal eye exam except we will use a highly advanced scanning tool to create a personal “map” of your eye. This “map” reflects the unique attributes that make your eyes special, including those annoying irregularities that led to your vision problems all these years. The doctor will use these maps to determine exactly how your eyes will need to be reshaped.

The enhancement rate increases slightly if they have a higher degree of myopia or astigmatism.
