LASIK Co-Management: Your Consultation and Post-Op Care, All in One Place

Choosing LASIK is an important decision, and having a trusted eye care team involved before and after your procedure can make the process easier to navigate. At Total Vision Care Optometry, we provide LASIK co-management to help patients understand their options, prepare for surgery, and receive attentive follow-up care throughout recovery. We work with experienced LASIK surgeons in the Central Valley while remaining involved in your care close to home.

What Is LASIK Co-Management?

LASIK co-management is a coordinated approach between your optometrist and the refractive surgeon performing your procedure. Rather than navigating each stage on your own, you have an eye care team communicating about your vision, eye health, procedure, and recovery.

Our role begins before LASIK surgery and continues afterward. This allows us to provide familiar, personalized care while your surgeon focuses on performing the procedure.

Starting With Your LASIK Consultation

Before LASIK is recommended, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your eyes and vision. Not everyone is a candidate for laser vision correction, which is why this first step is so important. We evaluate your prescription, overall eye health, vision needs, and other factors that could affect your results.

During your consultation, we also take the time to discuss what you can realistically expect before, during, and after LASIK. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision based on your individual eyes rather than assuming one procedure is right for everyone.

What to Expect From LASIK Co-Management

When you choose co-managed LASIK care, our team helps coordinate several important parts of the process, including:
 

•          Evaluating your vision and eye health before surgery
 

•          Determining whether laser vision correction may be appropriate
 

•          Discussing expectations and answering questions about the procedure
 

•          Coordinating care with the LASIK surgeon
 

•          Monitoring your eyes during post-operative follow-up visits
 

•          Addressing concerns that arise as your eyes heal

This approach gives you continuity of care from a team that already understands your vision history and individual needs.

Why Post-Op LASIK Care Matters

Your LASIK procedure may be completed quickly, but your eye care does not end when you leave the surgical center. Follow-up visits are an important part of monitoring how your eyes are healing and how your vision is progressing.

During post-operative care, we evaluate your visual recovery and eye health and make sure healing is progressing as expected. These appointments also give you an opportunity to discuss dryness, fluctuations in vision, or other changes you notice during recovery.
