FREE Consultation

A consultation is an important step to accurately assess whether or not you are a good candidate for LASIK or another type of refractive procedure. This is a complimentary service provided by the Eye Center and takes about 60 minutes.  At this appointment, you will learn more about our refractive services, our technology, pricing and financing options, and whether or not you may be a candidate.

Next, you will have a comprehensive medical eye exam with one of our physicians.

Why Is The Comprehensive Eye Exam Important?

Whether or not LASIK is right for your eyes can only be determined by a LASIK examination, which should include multiple scans of your eye to map your exact vision characteristics. This step is critical to accurately measure your vision and to ensure that you are indeed a good candidate.  

The Health of Your Eyes

No two eyes are the same. The thickness of your cornea, the health of your eye, the amount of refractive error, and the effects of aging all play a part in determining whether your eyes are well-suited for LASIK. You can’t guess at these things and neither can the doctor - you both have to take the time to find out for sure, and it’s time very well invested.

No Sales Pressure

On average, an experienced and conscientious LASIK surgeon will reject up to 20% of applicants due to general eye health or condition of the cornea. The doctors at the Eye Center won’t be pressuring you into a hasty or unwise decision. The purpose of the LASIK Evaluation is to find out IF you’re a good candidate. Then it’s up to you to decide what your next step should be.

Surgery Day

On the day of your surgery, plan to be at the center for about two hours. The actual LASIK procedure only takes about 5 minutes per eye to perform, but from start to finish you should allow for about two hours. You will not be able to drive immediately after the procedure, so make sure you have someone available to take you home afterwards.

Post-Operative Care

Included in the cost of your LASIK procedure at the Eye Center of Central Georgia are a series of post-operative exams, the first of which will be on the day following your procedure. The remainder of these follow-up exams will be scheduled at approximately one week, three months, six months and one year after your procedure. These are provided at no additional charge from the Eye Center. You may notice during the brief healing period that your vision fluctuates periodically and you may experience some mild dryness. These symptoms are normal and will disappear over time.

Financing Options

The financing options for LASIK have never been better and can mean the difference between enjoying sharp, clear high-definition vision now, versus waiting until you’ve saved up the money. Getting a quality procedure from a highly accredited and experienced surgeon is worth paying more for, and learning about the many financing options available is another important part of the consultation process.  We provide a variety of payment options, including up to 24 months No Interest Plans!  You can also find out about using your FLEX Spending or Medical Savings Account to pay for your LASIK procedure.
