If you choose to have your vision corrected by undergoing LASIK surgery, your doctor will ask you to make certain changes before the procedure .
Wearing contact lenses should be stopped before LASIK surgery, but also the previous eye exam.
Contact lenses can alter the shape of the cornea and lead to errors in the evaluation of refraction and, ultimately, in the surgical procedure.
Soft contact lenses should be discontinued one to two weeks before examination and surgery, and rigid contact lenses for two to three weeks.
