Pre-Operation

In order to evaluate your eye conditions and if you can be candidate, an ophthalmologist and the staff of Rutnin-Gimbel will perform a thorough pre-operative examination (roughly 3 to 4 hours), with a special attention to:

      Our ophthalmologist will then explain in detail your eye conditions, your refractive issues and determine the best procedures for you. With your good vision as our utmost priority, a surgical procedure will be offered to you only when all conditions are met.

      Apart from the medical approach, our ophthalmologist will also dedicate a significant amount of time to discuss with you about your motivation for surgery, about the realistic expectation and about your understanding of the upcoming surgical procedure.

Pre-operative examination requirements

• It is necessary to stop wearing soft lenses at least 7 days prior to the examination (3 weeks for hard lenses).
• Please prepare relevant medical information ready for the consultation with our staff ophthalmologists (your current visual status, lists of medications if any)
• It is recommended to arrange the transportation after the examination has been completed since your vision might be temporarily impaired.

      All Rutnin-Gimbel ophthalmologists have a very strong experience in examination and Laser Surgery. For each patient, pre-operation examination, surgery, and post-operation visits are run by the same ophthalmologist to offer you the best service possible.
