Pre and Post Operative Care

Medical technology has made it so that you don’t have to wear contacts or corrective lenses if you have poor vision. While LASIK can indeed improve your vision and your outlook on life, it’s essential that you’re properly prepared for the operation and that you take care of yourself and your eyes afterward. If you’re thinking of undergoing LASIK in Vienna or the surrounding areas, Vienna Eyecare Center offers pre- and post-operative care.

• Your options besides corrective surgery, such as contact lenses, traditional eyeframes. (multi-focal, bi-focal lenses)
• Post-operative ramifications of surgery
