  LHC will resume operation in 2015 at 6.5 TeV. The higher energy allows for smaller IP beta functions, further enhancing the optics errors in the triplet quadrupoles. Moreover the uncertainty in the calibration of some quadrupoles will slightly increase due to saturation effects. The complete magnetic cycle of the LHC will take longer due to the higher energy and extended squeeze sequence. All these issues require more precise and more efficient optics measurements and corrections to guarantee the same optics quality level as in 2012 when a 7% peak beta-beating was achieved. This paper summarizes the on-going efforts for achieving faster and more accurate optics measurements and corrections.
