LASIK is a life-changing procedure that can significantly improve vision and reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses. However, achieving the best results involves more than just the surgery itself—it requires a comprehensive approach to care before and after the procedure. At Local Eyes Optometry, we’re committed to guiding you through every step of your LASIK journey to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term eye health.
LASIK co-management is a collaborative approach between your optometrist and the LASIK surgeon. It involves pre-operative assessments, detailed consultation, and post-operative care to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. By partnering with a trusted optometrist, patients benefit from personalized care tailored to their specific needs, helping to optimize results.
Before undergoing LASIK, our optometrist will perform a thorough evaluation of your eyes to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. This includes:
• Measuring corneal thickness
• Evaluating refractive errors
• Assessing overall eye health
• Discussing lifestyle factors and expectations
These assessments help the surgeon customize the procedure to your unique visual needs.
Optometrists act as a bridge between you and the LASIK surgeon, ensuring all critical information is shared accurately and promptly. From pre-operative test results to updates on your recovery progress, this collaborative approach ensures everyone involved in your care is on the same page. This level of coordination not only fosters seamless communication but also helps reduce the likelihood of complications or misunderstandings, giving you peace of mind throughout the entire process.
Additionally, our optometrist can address your questions and concerns directly, serving as a trusted advocate who ensures your unique needs and preferences are communicated to the surgical team.
After the procedure, our optometrist will take a proactive role in monitoring your recovery and managing any side effects, such as dry eye, light sensitivity, or temporary vision fluctuations. Through regular follow-up visits, we’ll assess your healing progress, check for signs of inflammation or infection, and make any necessary adjustments to your post-operative care plan. These personalized check-ins ensure that your eyes are healing correctly and your vision stabilizes as expected. By tailoring care to your unique situation, we aim to maximize the long-term benefits of your LASIK surgery.
