Examinations directly related to the surgery and performed within the first year of surgery are considered follow-up exams. Why are follow-ups so important?
Although most patients notice improvement in their vision almost immediately after surgery, the follow-up period is an important and necessary part of your care. In the early period, we must monitor for infection and other complications, and make sure the prescription treatment is accurate. Once your eye(s) have healed and the vision has stabilized, it is important to monitor your vision and health of your eyes to ensure that you continue to see well for the rest of your life.
Why are follow-ups so important?
TRSC prides itself on meeting and exceeding international eye care standards, which includes providing the recommended follow-up examinations to ensure good vision and eye health. The majority of complications after surgery occur within the first week. It is mandatory that the 1-day and 1-week follow-ups be performed at TRSC so that our team of surgeons can properly monitor the healing process. After the first week, the schedule of follow-up examinations is: 1 month, 3 month and 1 year after surgery.
If patients are not compliant with this schedule, TRSC cannot be held responsible for complications that may occur due to the lack of follow-up care.
The purpose of these follow-up appointments are:
| - To ensure the prescription and vision results are as planned |
| - To monitor for late complications |
| - To monitor for non-LASIK related eye disease which can be sight-threatening |
