What Happens at My Consultation?
No 'Puffs', No Stinging Drops - Our Comprehensive Consultation is 'Easy As Can Be'.
A full and comprehensive exam is the ONLY way to know if LASIK will be right for you, but some folks hesitate to take us up on this free offer because they just don't know what to expect - or they fear being on the receiving end of a sales pitch. Here’s some reassurance on these points:
- Most folks find the examination experience enjoyable and rewarding – no surprising puffs or stinging eye drops – and they not only gain an excellent understanding about their vision, but as one patient put it “It was as easy as can be!”
- It’s comfortable and you won’t spend the rest of the day with blurry vision - because we’ve invested in technology that actually gives us a BETTER exam for your eyes without the need for dilating drops
- Leave your checkbook at home - since the exam is really the first vital step in determining IF you would be a good candidate for LASIK, we don’t talk money until you do.
Our whole exam process, the most thorough and comprehensive in Oklahoma City, takes about 90 minutes, and here’s how it works:
Step One – Your Peace of Mind: Almost every person who walks into our center has concerns and questions about the procedure. So, our first goal is to find out exactly what you’re worried about and make sure we answer any and every question you might have.
Many folks arrive with affordability on their minds, so if you raise this issue we’ll also sketch out your financing options. Otherwise we’ll explain why we use the technology we use, and generally discuss your vision options.
Step Two – The Exam: This step begins by meeting one of our physicians who will take a full medical history of your eyes and eye health. The exam includes full corneal mapping of your eyes, refraction measurement, corneal thickness measurement, tear film evaluation and precise plotting of your pupil size.
You’ll probably find yourself fascinated by the techniques and technology we use. We’re proud of the thoroughness of our exam process so you can feel free to ask us anything you want to know.
Step Three - The Personal Consultation: This is when you’ll find out if you’re a good candidate for LASIK. We’ll explain the test results, what would happen on the day of the surgery, and costs. And then we send you home.
We want you to make the right decision and we know you’ll do this best in your own home. We’ve done our job of verifying that you’re a candidate – now it’s over to you to decide if you will have the procedure.
Although we provide the most accurate and comprehensive exam process in Oklahoma City, here are just a few of the things we do to make the experience easier:
-
You do NOT have to be out of your contacts before the exam
Some centers want you to be contacts-free a full two weeks before they'll tell you whether or not you're a good candidate. While it helps us if you can switch to glasses for a few days before the exam, it is not essential for determining if you’re a good candidate – and that’s what this exam is all about.
-
You won't need a driver on the day of your exam
If you’ve ever had your eyes dilated you’ll probably expect to need a driver on the day of your LASIK Consultation. Dilating drops make your pupils really large and your vision blurry for the rest of the day, and many folks don't feel safe driving after a dilated eye exam. That's why we don’t use them – instead we’ve invested in technology that actually gives us a BETTER exam for your eyes without the need for dilating drops.
-
No sales pressure
This is an easy one for us. We typically find up to 30% of applicants aren’t qualified even with today’s most advanced technology. The purpose of this examination is to verify that you’re a candidate and confirm that you will qualify for our 20/20 Money Back Guarantee program. Once those questions are out of the way, we’ll be happy to discuss affordability whenever you like.
If you’re a good candidate, and ready and able to schedule your procedure right then and there, that’s fine with us. But we’re not running a production line – so relax and leave your checkbook at home.
The LASIK Consultation is the starting point of serious consideration about having LASIK and we recommend it BEFORE you launch into research mode. Then when you’re ready to make your decision you have all the facts at your fingertips.
-
It’s free!
Our examination involves some very hi-tech equipment and the skills of several highly trained staff. If you walked into your local optometrist’s office you would probably be charged around $200 - $350 – and not receive the same thoroughness as we provide for free.
We provide this complimentary consultation because without it you’ll never know – and we’ll never know – if you’re going to qualify for LASIK - and that can be a major obstacle right there.
We’re here to provide you with the best vision possible and that’s not only a medical goal but also a quality of life issue. So making the whole exam process as easy and worry-free as possible is one way we can help you achieve your expectations.

Contacts vs LASIK? Game, Set, Match
- Wind, dust, sports & allergies; big problem for contacts: not a problem with LASIK.
- Recent studies show LASIK is up to 5 times safer than contacts. When you consider the risks of scratched corneas and eye fungus or other diseases from contacts, it makes sense that LASIK proves to be much safer than contacts.
- If you're wearing contacts, you're already paying for LASIK. Add up the costs over a ten-year period and you’ll see that you’ve already paid for LASIK. Now you see why we offer zero percent financing?
- Just bought contacts? We'll buy 'em back!
More Affordable Than You Think
- Our Individualized Treatment Plans let you tailor the cost of custom blade-free LASIK to your needs and budget – without skimping on technology, experience or results.
- IRS approved, tax-free payment plans can save you up to 42%. Find out if you qualify.
- Choose 0% financing for your LASIK with guaranteed approval for everyone. The idea is to get the benefits of LASIK now and pay it off over time or when you’ve got the money. It really makes more sense than buying more contacts. Learn More
3 Mistakes you don't want to make
- Don't allow yourself to be rushed during the consultation or at any point during the exam process. Demand a thorough exam and full disclosure of your suitability for the procedure.
- Don't choose a LASIK company, choose a LASIK surgeon who is a specialist – it's the personal skill and commitment of your doctor that counts.
- Don't compromise your comfort or outcome with yesterday's technology. Many LASIK centers try to make LASIK more affordable by reverting to older technology such as bladed LASIK, PRK, and non-wavefront lasers for their lower priced procedures. At ClearSight, everyone gets the latest technology but we still make it affordable. Find Out How
