Brusco Vision, a LASIK surgeon located in Falls Church, Virginia, has published new guidance on what patients throughout Northern Virginia can expect when they schedule a LASIK consultation. The practice serves patients who are evaluating laser vision correction and want to understand how the evaluation visit is structured before booking. The guidance appears in an article titled “What to Expect at Your LASIK Consultation in Northern Virginia,” which outlines each stage of the visit from check-in through the surgeon’s candidacy review.
A LASIK consultation in Northern Virginia is an in-depth eye evaluation that determines whether a patient is a candidate for laser vision correction. As of 2026, the visit typically runs about 90 minutes, which is longer than surgery day itself, and it includes diagnostic testing such as corneal mapping to record the shape and thickness of the cornea, an assessment of pupil size and tear film, and a precise measurement of the patient’s prescription. These measurements together indicate whether the cornea can safely support laser treatment and which procedure suits the patient’s eyes. At Brusco Vision, this diagnostic panel is known internally as the ANOVA process, short for Advanced Necessary Ocular and Vision Analysis, and its results are reviewed with the surgeon who performs any procedure that follows.
The evaluation follows a set sequence. It begins with a brief medical and vision history, after which clinical staff perform the diagnostic scans and the surgeon completes the eye exam and candidacy review before the visit closes with a discussion of options and next steps. Because contact lenses temporarily reshape the cornea and can affect measurement accuracy, patients are asked to stop wearing them before the appointment, with soft-lens wearers typically switching to glasses for a set period and rigid gas-permeable wearers needing longer. Brusco Vision confirms the exact timeframe at booking and asks patients to bring current glasses, a medication list, and any questions.
Patients across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC who are considering laser vision correction can schedule a no-cost consultation that includes the full diagnostic evaluation and a one-on-one candidacy discussion. Because different eyes and prescriptions suit different procedures, the evaluation determines which option, if any, is appropriate. Brusco Vision offers six vision correction procedures, including LASIK, EVO ICL, and lens-based options, so the recommendation can point beyond LASIK when another procedure fits a patient’s eyes better. The practice also provides second-opinion evaluations.
As of 2026, LASIK surgery can often be scheduled within a few weeks of the consultation, once candidacy is confirmed and any required preparation is complete, though the exact timing depends on factors such as how long contact lenses must be left out and the surgical schedule. There is no obligation to schedule surgery at the consultation itself, and patients decide whether and when to proceed after their candidacy discussion. When LASIK is not the right fit for a particular eye, the evaluation may point toward one of the practice’s other vision correction procedures. The consultation and the surgery are separate visits, and the evaluation itself does not involve treatment.
“The consultation is where the entire surgical plan is built, so I personally conduct each evaluation and candidacy review rather than delegating that step,” said Dr. Michael Brusco, MD, FACS, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of Brusco Vision. “The surgeon who examines a patient’s eyes is the same surgeon who performs the procedure, and that continuity lets patients ask questions directly and understand why one option may fit their eyes better than another.” Dr. Brusco has performed more than 45,000 corneal-based vision correction procedures. He completed his undergraduate studies at Harvard College and earned his medical degree from Northwestern University, and he is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.
Brusco Vision is located at 3120 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 100, in Falls Church, Virginia, and serves patients across Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia. The practice includes an in-house surgery center where procedures are performed. Driving directions to the Falls Church office are available online.
