When it comes to laser eye surgery or other refractive procedures like LASIK, PRK, or cataract surgery, patients often benefit most from a co-management approach: a collaborative care model between your optometrist and ophthalmologist. Co-management ensures that while your surgical procedure is expertly performed by a qualified ophthalmologist, your pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care are handled by your trusted optometrist, who already knows you and your vision history.
There are several advantages to co-managed care. Optometrists are experts in providing comprehensive eye exams, identifying candidates for vision correction surgery, and helping patients set realistic expectations about outcomes. After surgery, optometrists monitor healing, manage complications early, and fine-tune vision correction needs. Because optometrists often have long-term relationships with their patients, they’re uniquely positioned to offer personalized, accessible follow-up care close to home, saving you unnecessary travel and office visits.
Choosing co-management for your eye surgery means you benefit from a team approach, combining surgical precision with attentive, ongoing care. It's a smart, patient-centered solution that prioritizes your immediate results and long-term eye health.
TSO Briargrove specializes in eye surgery co-management, helping to protect your vision, monitor your recovery, and partner closely with your eye surgeon for optimal results.
We offer a proactive, team-based approach to vision correction through expert co-management services for LASIK, cataract surgery, and clear lens extraction (CLE). Co-management ensures your eye health remains the top priority—before, during, and after your procedure.
LASIK surgery is a life-changing procedure for many, and at TSO Briargrove, we play a vital role in making that journey smooth and successful. Our LASIK co-management includes a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to determine your candidacy for surgery, detailed education, and close communication with your LASIK surgeon. We’ll walk you through the benefits, risks, and expectations, ensuring you’re confident in your decision. After your procedure, we handle all post-operative follow-ups, monitor healing, and fine-tune your prescription to ensure optimal results is the best it can be.
When it comes to cataract surgery, co-management is essential for both safety and long-term visual success. We begin with a detailed cataract evaluation to assess your vision, lifestyle needs, and the progression of lens clouding. Once surgery is recommended, we coordinate care with your ophthalmologist, assist in choosing the right intraocular lens (IOL), and prepare you for surgery and recovery expectations. After surgery, we continue your care with regular checkups to track healing and ensure optimal visual clarity.
Clear lens extraction (CLE), sometimes called refractive lens exchange, is an increasingly popular alternative for patients who may not qualify for LASIK or PRK but still want long-term vision correction. At TSO Briargrove, our CLE co-management services include pre-surgical assessments to evaluate your eye health and refractive goals, ongoing communication with the surgical team, and personalized post-operative care. As your primary eye care provider, we’re here to ensure your CLE procedure is safe, smooth, and successful, helping you achieve the best vision possible with minimal disruption.
