Visionary Care
At Kremer, our focus is always on what’s best for each individual patient. From our staff to our doctors, everyone is here to make you feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way.
Our doctors' varied specialties and our leading-edge medical technologies mean we have the tools to recommend only what will result in the best possible outcome for each individual patient. We also work in partnership with our patients’ regular optometrists, both before and after surgery, to provide seamless and consistently high-quality care.
Before Your LASIK Surgery
A full examination is required before any surgical procedure and takes approximately 1-2 hours. Your eyes will be dilated, so please arrange for transportation. This examination will test visual acuity, eye muscle movements, peripheral vision, the retina, intraocular pressure, aberrometry, and other components of an eye exam. You will also be able to discuss your proposed surgery in depth with your doctor.
Day of LASIK Surgery
Arrange for transportation on the day of your surgery. Although the surgery itself only takes a brief amount of time, you will be at the surgery center for three to four hours to allow time for preparation and recovery depending on the type of surgery performed. A short time before your surgery, we will guide you to the surgical suite where one of our staff members will explain the process in-depth and may provide medication in the form of a pill to help you relax. Anesthetic drops will be used to numb your eyes, and the area surrounding your eyes will be thoroughly cleaned with antiseptic solution. Surgeries are brief, and afterwards, your surgeon will examine your eyes and explain post-op instructions.
Follow-Up LASIK Care
Post-operative exams will be scheduled at a convenient Kremer location or with your regular eye doctor. We recommend an initial, one week, one month, three month, six month, and one year visit. Your surgeon will review details with you. Kremer Eye Center provides treatment in partnership with many optometrists throughout our region to ensure that you receive the best possible care. Ask us if your eye doctor is a “co-managing” partner with Kremer Eye Center.
