Lasik Pre-Surgical Instructions

Start lid scrubs with baby shampoo ONE WEEK prior to your surgery. Place a drop of baby shampoo on a clean, moist washcloth and delicately rub your eyelids with your eyes closed. Then rinse with warm water.
Be sure to start the prescription antibiotic eye drops THE DAY BEFORE surgery. Put one drop in each eye 4 times per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime). Please put one drop in each eye the morning of surgery as well. The doctor will give you a prescription for these eye drops when you have your final measurements. If you don’t have this prescription, call the laser vision coordinator at 630-546-8313 and they can call the prescription in for you.
On the day of surgery, you must arrive with your face washed and NO make-up, creams, lotions, perfume/cologne or any substance with odor. Please focus on removing ALL MASCARA the night prior to surgery.
Come accompanied by another person who will be able to drive you home (regardless of whether your surgery is for one eye or two).
Be sure that your schedule allows you to be in town one full week after your surgery is performed. Dr. Rosin would like to be able to see you when needed during this time.
Please read and initial the consent forms in your white folder. Bring them with you to the surgery center and sign them in front of the laser vision coordinator.
Payment is due the day of your surgery. We accept credit cards, debit cards and Care Credit. Checks are NOT accepted.

If you have any questions, please contact our Laser Vision Coordinator at 630-546-8313.

What to expect the day of your Lasik Surgery

You can expect to be at the surgery center for about one and a half hours from arrival to departure.
Upon arrival, we will collect payment, have you sign your consent forms and make copies for you.
You will be taken into an exam room (additional scanning may be required) and you will meet with Dr. Rosin so that he can go over the procedure in detail with you and answer any questions you may have.
5mg of Valium will be offered to help you relax and it may help you sleep following the procedure.
Anesthetic eye drops will be administered prior to surgery to numb your eyes.
The entire procedure time is 6-8 minutes per eye.
Once the procedure is completed, Dr. Rosin will perform a post-operative check and we will go through all of your post-operative instructions with you.
Congratulations on your freedom from glasses and contacts!

If you have any questions, please contact our Laser Vision Coordinator at 630-546-8313.

I loved my visit here. I had a great doctor and I highly recommend her. She made the visit easy and smooth but was very detailed in her work. She was very open to my suggestions and gave me lots of options as far as lenses and gave me advice on how to improve my eyesight. The best visit with an Optometrist that I have ever had!
