Optician's pre-examination

Consult the hospital optician and find out if you can correct your refractive error with laser vision correction or refractive lens exchange. During the pre-examination, your eyes are photographed and measured by the hospital optician using various instruments in order to work out which method is most appropriate for your eyes.
Initial Evaluation for eye surgery by optician

The pre-examination is comprehensive

During the initial evaluation the following is measured using a range of instruments:

  • your eyes’ health status
  • thickness shape and topography of the cornea
  • visual acuity (minus and plus values and astigmatism)
  • intraocular pressure

When nesseccary: optical tomography of the retina (OCT)

On the basis of these measurements, the optician can determine whether laser vision correction or refractive lens exchange can be performed and whether you can get rid of your glasses. If the examination indicates that you have an eye disease, you are recommended to consult an ophthalmologist for further examination. Set aside one hour for the pre-examination  The hospital optician performs the initial evaluation, but the ophthalmologist always decides on the treatment method and the patient always meets the ophthalmologist prior to the treatment.

Laser vision correction is performed on people who are over 18 years of age. The choice of either laser vision correction or refractive lens exchange depends on strength and eye structure. 

With refractive lens exchange, both those who are short-sighted and those who are long-sighted can get rid of their glasses. Make an appointment for the optician’s initial evaluation and we will work out whether one of these treatments is appropriate for your eyes. You can also make an appointment with the optician if you have been diagnosed with a cataract, want to have it removed and want to get more information about the lens options.

We recommend that people over the age of 60 have their eyes examined by an ophthalmologist, who will best examine the client's optical health and whether refractive lens exchange is appropriate. If the ophthalmologist detects the beginnings of a cataract or you suspect this yourself, it is preferable to make an appointment for the ophthalmologist’s initial evaluation for cataract surgery, where you will meet the surgeon who will perform the procedure and find out more about different lens options

LASER VISION CORRECTION IS NOT PERFORMED IF:

  • you are under 18 years of age
  • you are pregnant, or it is less than six months since you gave birth
  • you are breastfeeding, or it is less than four months since you breastfed
  • you have an eye disease, e.g. cataracts
  • you have a disease that affects vision (diabetes, rheumatism)

During the hospital optician’s 60-minute pre-examination, your eye health will be assessed and the most suitable surgical method for you will be determined.

Please note that you must be without contact lenses for one week before the pre-examination, and pupil-dilating eye drops will be used during the exam, which will blur your near vision for the rest of the day.

  • ICL surgery

    ICL surgery (implantable collamer lens) is an alternative to laser surgery, especially for correcting severe nearsightedness.

  • Refractive lens exchange

    Get rid of your progressive glasses with a refractive lens exchange! The refractive lens exchange is sometimes called a presbyopia surgery as it corrects near vision. But in addition to presbyopia, the refractive lens exchange also corrects distance vision and any astigmatism.

  • Cataract surgery

    Do glasses no longer help? Does it feel like your vision is blurry despite having recently received new glasses? Have the ophthalmologist specialising in cataracts excaminate whether cataract surgery could be for you. Cataracts can be removed, even before your vision has deteriorated markedly. Make an appointment with one of our experienced ophthalmologists.

  • Ophthalmologist

    If you have problems with your vision or your eye looks different, you should consult an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist diagnosis and treats eye diseases and can examinate errors of refraction and have them corrected.

  • Optician's pre-examination

    Consult the hospital optician and find out if you can correct your refractive error with laser vision correction or refractive lens exchange. During the pre-examination, your eyes are photographed and measured by the hospital optician using various instruments in order to work out which method is most appropriate for your eyes.

  • SMILE laser vision correction

    Thanks to the latest SMILE technology, the eye's refractive error can be corrected without the traditional corneal flap. This keeps the surface layer of the eye more intact and reduces the risk of dry eyes. Studies show that the treatment results of SMILE surgeries are excellent. Here in Eira we are using the latest laser equipment Zeiss VisuMax 800.
