Co-Management for Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a common age-related condition, causing clouding of the eye’s natural lens and impairing vision – studies show that over 20 million American over the age of 40 have cataracts. Fortunately, cataract surgery offers a reliable solution by replacing the clouded lens with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL).
Our role in cataract co-management includes:
- Diagnosis and Pre-Operative Care: We start with a thorough eye examination to confirm the presence and progression of cataracts. If surgery is the best option, we’ll work with you to discuss IOL options, including premium multifocal lenses that can correct vision at multiple distances.
- Post-Operative Monitoring: After your surgery, we monitor your recovery to make sure that your eye is healing well and provide you with the information and education you need to safeguard your eyes at home. We remain your point of contact for any questions or concerns.
Co-Management for LASIK
LASIK is a popular refractive surgery that corrects common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea. We’re here to provide our patients with personalizedLASIK co-management services. For those seeking freedom from glasses or contacts, LASIK can be life-changing.
Our role in LASIK co-management includes:
- Initial Evaluation: Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. We conduct comprehensive evaluations to determine your eligibility, considering factors like corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health.
