Co-management with Ophthalmology

When surgery is the right answer, we partner with trusted Bay Area ophthalmologists for pre-op evaluation, referral, and post-op follow-up. You keep your optometrist; we coordinate the rest.

Everything this visit covers.

Cataract surgery — pre-op planning, IOL selection input, post-op follow-up

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, chalazion excision)

LASIK and PRK refractive surgery — candidacy evaluation and follow-up

Glaucoma surgical referral when topical therapy is insufficient

Coordinated medical records and communication

Continuity of care — you don't lose your primary eye doctor

Good to know

Understanding your care.

Why co-management matters

Refractive and cataract surgery aren't standalone events — they sit inside a longer arc of evaluation, surgery, and recovery. Co-management means your optometrist and the surgeon share the work, so the same eye doctor who knows your history before surgery sees you for the visits that follow. That continuity is good for your eyes and easier for you.

The evaluation phase

We start with a complete eye exam to confirm that you're a good candidate for the procedure you're considering — looking at corneal thickness, dryness, prescription stability, and general eye health. If something rules out one option but opens the door to another, we'll talk it through.

Communication with your surgeon

Your records, measurements, and any concerns are sent ahead so the surgical consultation focuses on what matters. After surgery, your follow-up visits happen with us — and any questions come back to your surgical team through a single, coordinated channel.
