We accept Cash, Credit Cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover),
Cashier Checks, and Siems Lasik Gift Certificates.
We do NOT accept personal or business checks over $500.
Several financing options are available through CareCredit, but must be
arranged one week prior to surgery.
Insurance benefits and/or discounts must be applied at the time payment
is accepted. Discounts and/or insurance benefits will NOT be applied after
payment has been accepted and/or processed.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Contact lens usage
|
|
Prior to surgery, it is important that contacts NOT
be worn for the time specified by the doctor. Failure to follow the
doctor's advice may result in the surgery being postponed, or poor
results after the surgery. |
The following are general guidelines
regarding contact lens usage. Dr. Siems
and his medical staff reserve the right
to amend these recommendations based
on a patient's specific needs.
Soft contacts/disposable, or daily wear (not toric) should generally be
out at least three to four days.
Soft toric contacts should generally be out for 7 - 10 days.
Gas permeable or hard PMMA lenses should generally be out for a minimum
of 6 weeks.
* The doctor will advise you of your specific needs.
Week of Surgery
|
|
Fill your prescription for your antibiotic eye drop, Zymar.
Purchase a one month supply of preservative free artificial tear drops.
Arrange for transportation to and from the Lasik Center on the day
of your surgery. |
Two Days Prior to Surgery
Begin using your Zymar and Pred Forte eye drops in the eye (s) that will
be operated on.
Day of Surgery
Due to the sensitivity of our lasers
DO NOT WEAR any fragrances, i.e. perfume,
cologne, scented lotions, or hairsprays.
These products place deposits on the
lens of the laser and may affect the
accuracy of the procedure.
Make sure you have arranged transportation home from the surgery center.
Dress in warm lint free comfortable clothing (NO mohair, wool, cashmere,
etc…)
4 hours prior to surgery avoid consuming caffeinated products (coffee, tea,
chocolate, etc…).
