How to Prepare for Your Super ReLEx Preoperative Eye Examination
-
Stop wearing contact lenses before your examination and wear glasses instead:
-
Soft contact lenses: At least 3 days
-
Hard or semi-hard contact lenses: At least 14 days
-
-
Medication Preparation
-
Stop oral isotretinoin (e.g., Roaccutane, Acnotin, Isotret) for at least 1 month before your examination and surgery, as it may cause dryness of the ocular surface and cornea.
-
Inform your ophthalmologist about all medications you take including medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid conditions, and sleep. Regular medications may generally be continued unless otherwise advised.
-
-
Examination Time: Approximately 3.5 Hours
-
Your examination will be performed by the ophthalmologist who will perform your surgery. If you prefer a specific TRSC ophthalmologist, please schedule your examination with that doctor.
-
What Happens After Your Eye Examination?
Your ophthalmologist will determine one of three possible outcomes:
1. Suitable for Super ReLEx
Your eyes are healthy and suitable for treatment. Surgery can be scheduled according to your preferred date and your ophthalmologist's recommendation.
2. Another Treatment May Be More Suitable
If Super ReLEx is not suitable for your eyes or overall health, your ophthalmologist may recommend alternatives such as PRK or ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens).
3. Further Treatment or Evaluation Is Needed
Conditions such as dry eye, contact lens-related inflammation, retinal concerns, or suspected glaucoma may need to be treated or evaluated before Super ReLEx can be considered.
