Should I expect that after surgery, to get a follow up visit where he gives me the prescription for glasses that I can order ?

Or will he charge me to give me the optical results of the surgery he did ?

It’s usually covered as a part of the surgery.

I think that would be covered as part of the surgery follow-up. Mine was done years ago & I don’t remember for sure. My vision was near perfect right after the surgery, but didn’t stay that way. It can change as the eye heals & not 100% predictable. You don’t want to spend a lot of money on new glasses right away.

USE AN OPTOMETRIST, fitting glasses is their field, NOT an Othomologist field. They give you a better set of eye glasses. More choices of frames too and better prices. Stay away from BOX stores.

Don’t be in a rush, give your eyes at least 3 months to settle down.

PLASTIC LENSES NOT POLYCARB give you better vision. 48 yr glasses wearer. If you opt for glasses chose Zeiss lenses they are the BEST, they make the Hubble Telescope after all.
