Laser Eye Surgery Co-Management
Laser eye surgery can be a life-changing experience, providing you with clearer vision and reducing your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Our role in laser eye surgery co-management ensures you receive comprehensive care before and after your procedure. Working closely with trusted surgeons, we’ll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your vision is in good hands from start to finish.
What Is Laser Eye Surgery Co-Management?
Co-management is a collaborative approach to eye care where your optometrist and the laser eye surgeon work together to provide seamless care throughout your laser eye surgery. This approach includes pre-operative evaluations, post-operative care, and continuous monitoring of your eye health. All are handled by our optometrist at The Optical Centre.
Our role in co-management involves ensuring you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure, providing follow-up care after surgery, and addressing any concerns that may arise during your recovery. Whether you’re undergoing LASIK or PRK, we work closely with the surgeon to ensure a successful outcome and long-term vision health.
Why Choose Co-Management at The Optical Centre?

The Pre-Surgery Consultation and Evaluation Process
Step 1: Assessing Candidacy
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at The Optical Centre to determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery. During this evaluation, we’ll conduct a thorough eye exam, assess your prescription stability, and measure the thickness of your cornea. We’ll also review your overall eye health to ensure conditions such as glaucoma, dry eye, or other issues won’t interfere with the surgery.
We will discuss your expectations and goals for the surgery, giving you a clear understanding of what the procedure can achieve. If laser eye surgery is the right choice, we’ll explain the next steps and address any questions.
Step 2: Preparing for Surgery
Once we confirm that you’re an ideal candidate, we’ll coordinate with the laser eye surgeon and provide them with all the details about your eye health. You’ll also receive instructions on preparing for surgery, including when to stop wearing contact lenses, how to care for your eyes before the procedure, and other important pre-surgery guidelines.
Post-Operative Care and Long-Term Vision Health
Step 1: Immediate Recovery Care
After your surgery, recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. You’ll return to The Optical Centre for regular follow-up appointments, where we’ll monitor your healing process and check your vision. These post-operative visits ensure your cornea is healing correctly, preventing infections, and addressing potential complications.
During these appointments, we’ll test your vision to track your improvement and ensure your eyes respond well to the surgery. Your optometrist will also provide instructions on caring for your eyes during recovery, including using prescribed eye drops to aid healing.
Step 2: Long-Term Vision Stability
Even after your initial recovery, it’s important to continue seeing your optometrist to monitor your long-term vision health. We’ll schedule ongoing check-ups to ensure your vision remains clear and stable.
Are You a Candidate for Laser Eye Surgery?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for laser eye surgery, and that’s why a comprehensive evaluation is so important. You may be eligible for laser eye surgery if:
- Your vision prescription has been stable for at least a year
- Your eyes are generally healthy, with no conditions like glaucoma or severe dry eye
- You’re over 18 and in good overall health
If you’re considering laser eye surgery and want to know if it’s the right option, schedule a consultation at The Optical Centre. We’ll provide a complete evaluation to help you make an informed decision.
