Prep for Success

Do you have upcoming cataract surgery, LASIK, or another vision-correcting procedure? 

At Miller Optometry, we believe in setting you up for the best possible outcome. That's why we offer our 'Prep for Success' program, designed to optimize your eye health before your procedure.

Studies have shown that many patients arrive for surgery with undiagnosed ocular surface disease and meibomian gland dysfunction. These conditions, often associated with dry eye, can impact both your comfort after surgery and the accuracy of your results.

Dry eye disease can develop gradually, sometimes without noticeable symptoms. That's why proactive management is crucial. By addressing potential issues before your initial surgical assessment, we can work together to achieve the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. Many patients can be completely unaware of the development of dry eye disease, as the onset can be gradual and may not cause symptoms.

Our 'Prep for Success' program includes:

• Initial assessment: We'll thoroughly assess your eye health to identify any potential concerns.
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we'll develop a tailored plan to address any existing conditions and optimize your ocular surface.
• Education and Support: We'll provide you with the information and tools you need to maintain healthy eyes before and after surgery. Often these are simple steps to add to your daily routine for a big impact.
• Thorough eyelid cleaning: Removing built-up debris and biofilm on the eyelid margins, eyelashes and eyelash roots helps reduce inflammation and reduces the chance of Demodex mites.
• In-Office Thermal Treatment: Using LipiFlow or Radio Frequency to produce a precisely controlled thermal cycling treatment to help improve the quality and flow of oils from the meibomian glands, essential for maintaining a good quality tear film on the surface of the eye.
