Free Suitability Assessment for Palmerston North/Manawatu patients
For patients who live outside Wellington, your initial assessment can be performed by a local optometrist in the Palmerston North area. If you proceed with laser eye surgery with the Eye Centre in Wellington, we will reimburse you the cost of seeing the optometrist.
Wellington Eye Centre also offers a free suitability assessment to anyone interested in laser vision correction. During this assessment we will conduct an eye exam, and other eye health checks. This will take around 40 minutes, and by the end of the appointment we’ll be able to determine whether you’re suitable for laser surgery. If you’re suited to one of our eye surgery procedures, then you will need to book a medical assessment

You’ll need several eye check appointments following your surgery, at:
- 1 week post-op

At these follow-ups your eye surgeon or optometrist will take various eye measurements to check on your healing process.
