Pre-Operative Testing | Initiating a Dialogue | Potential Surgical Complications Initiating a Dialogue The decision to have IOL implant surgery should be an informed one, made in close consultation with an eye care professional. In order to understand whether IOLs are right for you, you should ask your doctor the following questions: What type of testing will you do in order to determine whether I’m a candidate? Has my glasses or contact lens prescription been consistent for at least two years? Does my nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism fall within the accepted levels established for surgery by the FDA? Do I have cataracts, glaucoma or other corneal diseases? Are my corneas scarred? Do I have any diseases that would affect the outcome of the surgery or my ability to heal properly? Are there any other reasons why I may not be a candidate for surgery? Am I at risk for complications? What can I expect during the procedure? What outcome can I expect from the surgery?
