Surgical Eye Care Without the Confusion

If your doctor has mentioned cataract surgery, LASIK, or a procedure related to a chronic condition like diabetes, it is easy to feel unsure about what to do next. Where do you go? Who do you call? And how do you know if you are choosing the right provider? 

What many patients do not realize is that your regular optometrist can manage much of the process for you. At Today's Vision 380, we offer surgical co-management so your care feels clear, supported, and coordinated from start to finish. 

What Is Surgical Co-Management? 

Surgical co-management means your optometrist works directly with your eye surgeon to coordinate care before and after surgery. It simplifies the process and makes sure you are getting personalized attention throughout every step. 

Here is how it works: 

• Before surgery: You visit for your pre-op evaluations. This includes detailed imaging, medical eye exams, and any referrals you may need. 
• During surgery: Your procedure is performed by a trusted ophthalmologist in the area, someone we work with regularly. 
• After surgery: You return to our office for all follow-up appointments, healing checks, and updated prescriptions. 

You stay connected with a doctor you already know and trust. That means fewer unknowns, more convenience, and the comfort of familiar care. 

When Surgery Becomes Part of Eye Health 

Eye surgery is not only for emergencies. It is often the next step in maintaining clear vision and preventing future problems. Here are some common reasons patients may need surgical eye care: 

• Cataracts: These cause clouded vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataract surgery co-management ensures a smooth experience before and after the procedure. 
• Refractive surgeries: LASIK and PRK are options for reducing the need for glasses. We handle the LASIK follow-up care so your healing is closely monitored. 
• Chronic conditions: Over time, diabetes and hypertension can lead to retinal changes or swelling that may require surgical treatment. 

Vision changes such as glare, double vision, or blurry vision should never be ignored. The sooner you are evaluated, the more options you will have. 

Diabetes and Eye Surgery: A Timely Reminder 

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. It is a good time to remember that diabetes can quietly affect your eyes long before symptoms start. Medical eye exams help detect early signs of damage, including diabetic retinopathy. If surgery ever becomes part of your treatment, co-management means you are in experienced hands from the beginning to the end of your care.
