What are proper pre-operative procedures for Visian ICL?

March 20, 2015
Asked By:cd123 in Cary, NC

I've noticed that some doctors perform the iridotomy a few days or a week prior to the ICL implantation, but my doctor wants to do it on the same day. I also see that dome doctors prescribe antibiotic drops to be taken a day prior to the surgery; mine didn't. Some recommend no make-up etc. for several days prior. My instructions were only: don't wear contacts and don't put any lotion, etc. on the day of the procedure. Also, my dr. wants to do both eyes on the same day. Should I be concerned?
