Dry eye test for Lasik?

2022-12-31 13:06:40
I am planning for Lasik operation and went to 2 different hospitals for screening. They performed refraction and  topography test on my eyes but didn't test dry eyes or eye pressure. Are dry eyes test and eye pressure test not important for Lasik?

Dry eye evaluation is not routinely done, but you can request for it if you want.  Eye pressure should be checked, ideally.
