      4th step - post-operative exam
      You have to undergo 1day Exam on the next day of the surgery,usually at 9AM or 10AM.
      You cannot drive yourself at this time.
      It takes 10-20 minutes for 1 day exam.
      We check your eye vision and conditions.
      If the doctor allows, you can drive yourself.

      In case of PRK, you have 3 day Exam.
      We remove your epithelium in PRK surgery.
      Epithelium,the layer of the surface of the cornea,regrow and cover-up cornea for 1 week.
      So,you feel hurt for 1 week,and we have to check your epithelium regrowth on 3 day Exam.

      After the 1day Exam ( in PRK, 1day exam and 3day exam),you have to undergo 1week,1month,3months,6months Exam.It costs approx. 3000yen( it's depends on your eye conditions) for each exam.
      Especially,the 1week Exam is very important.
      In LASIK, the flap on your cornea is easy to move within 1 week after the surgery.
      So,you must be very carefully not to move your flaps,and we have to check them on 1 week exam.
      In PRK, you keep putting contact lenses on, to protect your cornea for 1 week.
      We take the contact lenses off on 1 week exam.

       

      If you are in hurry to have the surgery, please take off contact lenses to prepare for pre-OPE and come into our hospital for the first exam at least 5weeks before you leave Okinawa. After you leave Okinawa, you need your eye doctor who can follow up postoperative exam.

        3rd step - the surgery day
        On this day, you cannot drive yourself.
        And we recomend you to wear a jacket or a cardigan,because the surgery room is little bit chilly.
        To avoid affection for the Laser, please do not use strong-scented perfume or cosmetics.
        Please do not do eye make-up.

        Usually, the reservation time for the day is 12:00 on Tuesday or Friday.
        After you check-in at the reception, we check your eye vision just before the surgery.
        Then we will consult you about eye-drops we provide on the day,and you pay the cost of the surgery by cash or credit card.
        We take you to the waiting room on the upper floor.
        We sterilize your face and put eye-drops on your eyes to avoid infection.
        Finally, you go into the surgery room.
        There's a bed with red line on the center of it. You lay down on the bed straight along the red line.
        There's a red circle on the ceiling.Please look at the center of the red circle when the doctor adjusting the position of your head.
        We will wrap your face by plastic sheet,and set a machine on your both eyes and eyelids to keep them open.
        When the preparation finish,The bed will move automatically under the Laser.
        At this time,you can see a green LED light and four orange LED lights around the green light in the laser head.
        Please keep watching at the green light and DO NOT MOVE YOUR EYE and YOUR HEAD during the procedure.
        The surgeon put a ring on your eye and push and bacuum not to be out of place.
        You black-out at this time,but do not panic.
        The surgeon set a machine called micro-keratome on the ring and move it for just a second, and a flap on your cornea is made.
        The surgeon lifts the flap up and shot laser on your stroma for about 10-20 seconds, and replaces the flap.
        The same process goes on another eye,the bed move back and we take off machines and the plastic sheet.
        These all procedure takes 10-15minutes.
        After the surgery,we take you to the recovery room and take a rest for 20 minutes on a bed.
        And then you can go back to home.
        As usual, the surgery time is about 13:00-14:30 and you can go home at about 14:30-15:30.

        If you undergo PRK,we do not make a flap by the micro-keratome.
        We remove epithelium ( layer on the surface of the cornea) by alcohol.
        Other process is as same as LASIK.

        How's the schedule of LASIK,PRK eye surgery at Nanjo eye clinic in Okinawa 1
        0

          Today, I try to explain about the schedule of LASIK, PRK surgery.

          1st step - The first exam
          You undergo the first examination which we check and measure your eyes if you are a good candidate for laser eye surgery or not.
          It costs 8000-10000yen if you don't have the health insurance in Japan.

          The cost depends on your eye conditions.

          You don't need any reservation for the first exam.
          If you cannot come with someone who can translate Japanese, please call us when you come.
          Dr.Moriyama and some stuffs can speak English.
          It takes 60 to 90minutes.
          If the doctor accepts you to go to the next step,you make reservations for pre-oparative exam,the surgery day,1day exam,1week exam.
          Monday to Thursday 1week before the surgery are available for the pre-operative exam.
          (You cannot drive yourself.)
          The surgery day is usually on Tuesday or Friday. (You cannot drive yourself.)
          You can choose the date among several alternatives which we show you.
          1day Exam is on the next day morning 9AM to 10AM.(You cannot drive yourself)
          1week Exam is very important post-operative exam, so you need to fix the schedule for it at this time.

          2nd step - Pre-operative exam
          We check your eye visions and conditions more accurately.
          And then the doctor decide whether you are a candidate for the surgery or not.
          So there's possibility to drop out this procedure at this period.
          We will consult you about the procedure (the benefits and risks,your eye conditions, precautions after the surgery,etc.) at this time.
          If you worry about the language barrier, it is better to come with someone who can speak Japanese well enough to translate our consultation.
          We use eye-drops to dilate your iris to check your retina,and you feel hazy for 4 or 5hours.
          So you cannot drive yourself this day.
          Contact lenses change your cornea's shape.
          Therefore,you need to stop using soft contact lenses from 3days before the pre-operative exam to the surgery day.
          If you use hard contact lenses,take off it from 3 weeks before the pre-oparative exam.
          The cost for the surgery(220,000yen+10%tax) include the pre-oprative exam,surgery,1day exam. And you don't need pay it at this time. You pay it on the surgery day.
          But if you have disease and need medication at this time,you have to pay for it.

            And after the surgery, you have to undergo post-operative exam for 1week,1month,3month,6month.(3day for PRK)
            It cost about 3000yen( depends on your eye conditions).
