4. The measurement of corneal topography
- This is to detect the abnormality of the corneas shape which is a contraindication for LASIK.
- If you are a candidate, this measurement is to help to see your corneal curvature in order to select the best microkeratome to fit your eyes. |

6. To measure the Intraocular pressure to detect glaucoma |

Eye dilating
|
7. Eye dilation
- Dilation (widening) of the pupil is important so doctors can check inside of the eye. It takes 30 minutes for the drops to be work and they will last 4-6 hours. Because your pupil is dilated, you may experience temporary light sensitivity and blurry vision. |

Refraction
|
8. Refraction after the dilating eye drop
