Expert LASIK Consultation

A comprehensive LASIK consultation typically takes 90-120 minutes. This includes detailed eye examinations, corneal mapping, wavefront analysis, tear film assessment, and a thorough discussion about candidacy, risks, benefits, and expectations with our optometrist.

Your evaluation includes comprehensive eye health assessment, visual acuity testing, corneal topography, pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement), wavefront analysis, pupil size measurement, tear film evaluation, and detailed discussion about candidacy and surgical options.

Good LASIK candidates typically have stable prescriptions for 1-2 years, are over 18 years old, have healthy eyes with adequate corneal thickness, realistic expectations, and no contraindications like autoimmune diseases, pregnancy, or active eye infections.

Optical One provides comprehensive LASIK consultations and pre-surgical evaluations but refers patients to trusted, experienced LASIK surgeons for the actual procedure. We maintain relationships with top ophthalmologists to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.

LASIK surgery in Ontario typically costs between $1,500-$3,000 per eye depending on the technology and complexity. While OHIP does not cover LASIK, many employer insurance plans offer partial coverage. Our consultation helps determine the best option for your budget and vision needs.

LASIK creates a corneal flap before reshaping the cornea with a laser, offering faster recovery (1-2 days). PRK removes the outer corneal layer entirely, with a longer recovery (5-7 days) but is better suited for patients with thinner corneas. Our consultation determines which is right for you.
