For laser correction to be safe, effective and long-term, it is essential that your dioptric error is stable - 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝟏 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. Changing the diopters immediately after the procedure could cause the result to be permanently inaccurate and the patient could need further corrections.
A stable dioptric error also indicates that there is no disease or degenerative process in the eye that could 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.
Therefore, it is a condition of Oftum that you have stable diopters for at least 12 months before the procedure. This is the only way we can ensure that laser vision correction will be accurate, safe and the resulting effect permanent.
