Pre-operative assessment - What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?

It’s important to bring the following with you:

• Your health questionnaire form (which will be sent to you with your initial appointment letter)
• Your current glasses (if you wear them)
• A list of your current medications
• The contact number of the relative/friend who will be picking you up (if they’re not waiting in our reception area for you)
• If you’re diabetic, you’ll need to bring your record book with you.
• If you’re taking warfarin (blood-thinning medication), you’ll need to bring your INR record book (yellow book) with you.
• If you have glaucoma, please bring your consultant details with you.

For your pre-op assessment – soft contact lenses should be removed from both eyes at least 48 hours before your appointment and hard lenses should not be worn for two weeks before your appointment.
