Examination procedures require multiple steps, so we appreciate your patience and cooperation.

 

 * Optometry or vision testing

 * Examination by a resident ophthalmologist

 * Examination by an attending physician or fellowship

Steps for Corneal Imaging

 * Physician's request (stamped by a specialist physician at this hospital)

 * Report to the cornea secretaries

 * Registration and issuance of receipt

 * Referral to the corneal imaging room

 

 * Upon entering the clinic, the patient is sent to the optometry section by the receptionist (some adult patients may require an escort, depending on their circumstances, and one escort is sufficient for pediatric patients, preferably the mother).

 * If you wear glasses, please bring them with you for vision testing and examination.

 * After vision testing, the patient is referred by the nurse to a resident ophthalmologist and then to an attending physician or fellowship.

 * After examination by the resident or fellowship, if necessary, the patient is referred to the clinic nurse to have drops instilled for further examination.

 * Some time after the drops are instilled, the patient is re-examined, and a decision is made by the attending physician.

* Please note that the drops instilled in the eye may cause blurred vision for 5 to 6 hours, so it is advisable to avoid driving or any activities that require close attention during this time.

 

 * After completing all examination procedures, if surgery is necessary, a surgery date will be given. The informed consent form must be completed by the patient and a companion. If the patient is under 18 years of age or has a mental disability, the consent form must be completed by the patient's father or legal guardian. Signature and fingerprint are required on the form.

 * The patient will be given instructions for preoperative preparations (blood tests, lens echo, cardiac and anesthesia consultation, etc.) and a guide sheet.

 * Finally, the patient will be referred to Central Admissions to schedule surgery and complete the file.
