Dr. Jay Bradley answered

Specializes in Cornea, Cataract, & Refractive (LASIK & PRK) Surgery

Depends: Preoperative labs are ordered by your surgeon and anesthesiology based on the surgery and the patient's medical history. A chest x-ray in your scenario sounds like a reasonable preoperative test.
