I wear contact lenses but I am considering laser vision correction. Is it possible to undergo the procedure without having to stop wearing lenses for about 3 weeks before the procedure?

Laser vision correction involves modeling the surface of the cornea using a laser. When wearing contact lenses for a longer period of time, the cornea may be distorted by them, which may affect the results of the qualifying examination and thus the laser vision correction procedure. That is why it is so important to remove the lenses at least 7 days before the planned procedure.
