What Happens During LASIK Co-Management?

If you’ve been considering vision correction surgery, LASIK co-management offers a convenient and comprehensive way to receive quality care before and after your procedure. At Limestone Eye Care, we work closely with your LASIK surgeon to ensure you receive seamless, personalized care every step of the way.
 

What Is LASIK Co-Management?

LASIK co-management is a collaborative approach between your local optometrist and the ophthalmologist performing your surgery. Instead of traveling back and forth to the surgical center for every appointment, you can complete most of your pre- and post-operative care at our office in Lawrence, Kansas. This partnership ensures that your eye health, comfort, and recovery are closely monitored by professionals who know your visual history and unique needs.
 

The LASIK Evaluation in Lawrence, Kansas

Before you can be approved for LASIK, you’ll need a LASIK evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. At Limestone Eye Care, this evaluation includes:

• A comprehensive eye exam to assess overall eye health

• Corneal thickness measurement

• Pupil size and tear film evaluation

• Mapping of your corneal surface (topography)

• Review of your prescription stability

Your Lawrence optometrist will discuss whether LASIK is right for you or if another vision correction option might be better suited to your eyes.
 

Pre-Operative Care

If you qualify for LASIK, your optometrist will help prepare your eyes for surgery by providing detailed pre-operative instructions. This may include temporarily discontinuing contact lens wear, managing any dry eye symptoms, and reviewing what to expect during your procedure day.
 

Post-Operative Care and Follow-Ups

After your LASIK surgery, most of your follow-up visits will take place at Limestone Eye Care. These appointments are crucial to ensure your eyes are healing properly and your vision continues to improve as expected. During your post-op visits, we’ll:

• Monitor corneal healing

• Check for inflammation or dryness

• Measure your visual acuity

• Provide any necessary medications or recommendations

This co-management model allows for ongoing support from a doctor you already know and trust.
