If you are considering eye surgery, you might have questions about our co-management. Here's what you need to know.
How Does Eye Surgery Co-Management Work?
If you believe you may need eye surgery, you can visit our eye doctors for a thorough diagnosis and recommendations on whether or not surgery is right for you. Our optometrists will evaluate your eligibility for surgery and go over the options with you. If you are approved for surgery, we will help you schedule your procedure at another office we recommend. Then, you will come back to our office for follow-up appointments after surgery. We are here to ensure you are well prepared before the surgery and that your eye health is adequately managed after the procedure.
LASIK
Our doctors at Kilgo Eye Care are experienced at providing pre and post-LASIK eye surgery treatment. This surgery is used to correct refractive sight errors and requires a highly qualified surgeon. The process involves the use of a laser to reshape the cornea. This helps your eyes focus light correctly so that you can see more clearly if you have been diagnosed with a condition like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
Cataracts
Cataract surgery removes the lens of the eye and replaces it with a new one. Cataracts cause cloudiness in your natural lens, which impacts your ability to see. Before and after cataract surgery, you will come to our office to ensure that the new lens is working.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is another common health condition for which people require surgical treatment. Surgery reduces the pressure in your eye and prevents your vision from declining.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration can cause vision loss, but laser surgery can manage the problem and prevent your vision from worsening. You will follow up with our office after surgery to ensure that the results are as expected.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Retinopathy linked to diabetes can be treated with lasers and surgery. You may be able to preserve your vision with surgery. Our eye doctors will keep up with your progress to ensure that your vision is the best it can possibly be.
