Cataract Evaluation Appointment: Important Information

Thank you for choosing Specialty Eye Institute for your cataract evaluation.

About Your Cataract Evaluation Appointment:

During this appointment you will undergo several pre-surgical measurements and tests to determine your eye health. In order to obtain the most accurate readings please use preservative free artificial tears 2-3 days prior to your appointment. We recommend using 1 drop in both eyes 4-6 times per day. A well lubricated eye is beneficial for the necessary testing.

You can find artificial tears at any local pharmacy. Some of the brands available at the local pharmacy include: Preservative Free Systane, Blink Tears, Refresh, Soothe, and TheraTears.
