What Is Surgical Co-Management?

Co-management is a coordinated approach to your eye care that allows you to receive surgery from a trusted eye specialist while continuing your care with a team you already know. We handle your preoperative evaluations and your postoperative follow-up, working closely with your surgeon to ensure every step of the process is aligned.

How the Co-Management Process Works

At Laster Eye Center, surgical co-management aims to make your experience as straightforward as possible. From your first evaluation to your final follow-up, our team stays involved, ensuring your care is coordinated and easy to navigate.

We begin with a comprehensive eye evaluation to determine if surgery is the right option for you. If needed, we refer you to a surgical specialist and share all necessary information to support your procedure.

After surgery, you return to our eye clinic for your follow-up care, where we monitor your healing, manage your recovery, and make sure your results are progressing as expected.

Procedures We Co-Manage

Our role is to guide you through the process, ensure you are fully prepared, and provide the follow-up care needed for a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts develop when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, affecting your vision. Cataract surgery replaces this lens with a clear artificial one to restore clarity. Our team manages your care before and after, including diagnosis, pre-operative testing, and follow-up monitoring.

LASIK & Refractive Surgery

Refractive procedures like LASIK are designed to reduce or eliminate the need for vision correction aids. We begin by evaluating your candidacy and helping you understand your options. After your procedure, we provide follow-up care.

In some cases, after cataract surgery, a thin layer behind the new lens can become cloudy, affecting the clarity of your vision. Laster Eye Center offers YAG laser treatment as a quick, in-office solution to restore that clarity without the need for additional surgery.
