Abstract

Every patient who wants to go in for refractive surgery should be asked about their general clinical history. Every medical or surgical event in the past could be crucially important in the case they undergo refractive surgery. The data about diseases, medications, surgeries and allergies should be collected. Some of these may affect the postoperative period of the patients [1].
