The Importance of Pre-Operative Eye Exams

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.

A Team-Based Approach

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
  
  

Post-Operative Care

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.
