When it comes to eye surgery, whether it’s LASIK, cataract removal, or another vision correction procedure, proper care before and after the operation is essential to achieving the best outcome. At 20/20 EyeVenue, our experienced optometrists play a vital role in your eye surgery journey through comprehensive co-management care. We work closely with your ophthalmologist to ensure your vision is protected and optimized every step of the way.
Before any eye surgery, a thorough pre-operative evaluation is necessary to determine your candidacy and prepare your eyes for the procedure. During your pre-op visit at 20/20 EyeVenue, our optometrists will:
Perform a detailed vision assessment and ocular health exam
Review your medical history and current medications
Conduct specialized testing based on the type of surgery you're pursuing
Educate you about the surgical process, risks, and benefits
This step ensures that your eye surgeon has all the necessary information to tailor the procedure to your unique needs while confirming that your eyes are healthy and ready for surgery.
Co-management is a collaborative process in which your optometrist and ophthalmologist work together to deliver seamless care before and after surgery. At 20/20 EyeVenue, we serve as your local eye care provider, monitoring your vision and eye health before surgery and supporting your recovery afterward.
Benefits of co-management with our team include:
Easy access to local pre- and post-operative visits
A familiar and trusted optometrist managing your care
Streamlined communication between all providers
Continuity of care for long-term vision health
Recovery from eye surgery is just as important as the procedure itself. After surgery, our optometrist will monitor your healing process through a series of follow-up appointments. We check for signs of infection, ensure your vision is improving as expected, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Post-op care may include:
Monitoring your visual recovery timeline
Managing prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation or prevent infection
Addressing any concerns like dryness, irritation, or visual disturbances
Recommending new glasses or contact lenses if needed
Our goal is to support a smooth recovery and help you maintain healthy vision long after the surgery.
At 20/20 EyeVenue, our optometrists are your dedicated partners in care. From thorough pre-operative exams to attentive post-op follow-ups, our services are designed to ensure you feel informed, confident, and well-cared-for every step of the way.
