About Our Co-Management Services
Learning that you may need eye surgery can bring a lot of questions. You may wonder what happens next, who you'll see before surgery, and who will continue caring for your eyes afterward.
At Dr. Clifford Roffis & Associates, we provide cataract and LASIK co-management, working closely with your surgeon before and after your procedure. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible while ensuring you continue receiving trusted eye care from the team that knows your vision best.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts develop gradually and can make everyday activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult. When cataracts begin affecting your quality of life, surgery may be recommended.
Your optometrist will evaluate your vision, discuss how cataracts are affecting your daily life, and determine whether it's time to consider surgery. If surgery is appropriate, we'll refer you to a trusted cataract surgeon and help you understand what to expect throughout the process.
Following your procedure, we'll provide the follow-up care recommended by your surgeon, monitor your healing, evaluate your vision, and answer any questions that arise during your recovery.
LASIK Co-Management
LASIK can reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, but not everyone is a candidate. The first step is determining whether the procedure is appropriate for your eyes and your vision goals.
We'll perform a comprehensive evaluation, discuss your vision needs, and determine whether a referral for LASIK is appropriate.
Following surgery, we'll monitor your recovery, evaluate your vision as your eyes heal, and provide the follow-up care recommended by your surgeon.
Coordinated Care With Your Surgeon
Choosing surgery doesn't mean starting over with a new eye care team.
We work closely with your surgeon throughout the process, sharing important information about your eye health and providing ongoing care before and after your procedure. That continuity allows you to return to a familiar office for much of your follow-up care while keeping your surgeon informed about your progress.
Vision Care After Eye Surgery
Eye surgery is an important milestone, but it's not the end of your eye care. Even after your recovery is complete, regular comprehensive eye exams remain an important part of protecting your long-term vision and monitoring your overall eye health.
