Personal Consultations

The Caster Eye Center provides detailed, personal consultations with Dr. Caster to determine your suitability for Laser Vision Correction. The purposes of this consultation are for you and Dr. Caster to meet each other, to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for laser vision correction, to determine the best variation of the treatment for your particular situation, and to answer all your questions.

This initial consultation takes approximately 90 minutes and is complimentary. Complimentary valet parking is also provided. During this consultation we will perform many tests, including mapping of the cornea, corneal thickness, refraction, and dry eye tests. You will be able to tour our facility and see our technology, including our lasers and our diagnostic equipment. You will meet with Dr. Caster; he will examine your eyes, review all the information about you and your eyes, and address all of your questions and concerns.

Before you can move forward with the procedure, Dr. Caster will need to perform additional tests. These additional tests can be completed on the same day as your complimentary exam if you would like and will require an additional 30 minutes. The fee for this additional testing is $100 and we will credit that payment toward your treatment. Patients typically are comfortable to drive themselves and return to work after this testing. You may wear contact lenses to this appointment and please bring your prescription glasses and sunglasses as well.

We will also perform additional measurements on the day of your treatment. In this way, we obtain multiple measurements on different days, which helps in the accuracy of the treatment. If you wear contact lenses, we will make these additional measurements after you have been out of the contact lenses for an appropriate amount of time. These additional measurements are typically performed on the day of your treatment.

Many of our patients travel to us from out of town. Patients travel to us for laser vision correction from across the United States, as well as from Europe, Asia, and Central and South America. We have treated patients from every single state in the US and over fifty other countries.

You will need to be in Los Angeles for less than 72 hours, spread over three days and two nights. We will help you with your arrangements to make your trip to Los Angeles as simple and easy as possible.

You will be able to return home, or continue on a vacation, on the morning after your procedure. Many people combine a trip to have laser vision correction with a vacation in California. Because of the extremely rapid recovery following LASIK, you will be able to travel and enjoy sightseeing the very next day after your procedure.
