Eye Surgery Co-Management in Surrey, BC
What Is Surgical Co-Management?
Surgical co-management means your optometrist works hand-in-hand with your eye surgeon to provide seamless care before and after surgery. Instead of travelling far for every appointment, you can receive pre-op evaluations and post-op follow-ups at Newton Optometry Clinic, where we know your eyes best.
The Benefits of Co-Managed Eye Care
- Convenient, expert follow-ups closer to home.
- Personalized pre-operative screenings to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery.
- Close monitoring for a smooth recovery.
- Collaboration with top ophthalmologists for the best results
From start to finish, we guide you through the process; answering questions, ensuring your comfort, and helping you achieve the best possible vision.
LASIK & PRK Co-Management
Dreaming of life without eyeglasses or contact lenses? LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) are popular laser eye surgeries that reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. We help determine if you’re a good candidate for surgery and provide comprehensive follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
Pre-Operative Care for LASIK & PRK
- Candidacy Evaluation: We assess your corneal thickness, prescription stability, and overall eye health.
- Advanced Diagnostic Imaging: We use Optos retinal imaging and OCT scans to map your cornea and detect any underlying conditions.
- Referral to LASIK & PRK Specialists: We connect you with experienced laser eye surgeons for the procedure.
Post-Operative Care for LASIK & PRK
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
- Ongoing vision stabilization checks to ensure your eyes adjust properly.
- Monitoring for dry eye, light sensitivity, or complications with personalized treatment recommendations.
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
Cataracts develop with age, causing blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. Cataract surgery replaces the clouded lens with a clear, artificial lens, restoring sharp vision. We assist with pre-surgery planning and post-surgery follow-ups to make the process smooth and worry-free.
Pre-Surgical Cataract Evaluation
- Comprehensive eye exams to confirm if cataract surgery is needed.
- Discuss lens implant options, including premium IOLs for better near and far vision.
- Referral to top cataract surgeons.
Post-Operative Cataract Care
- Follow-ups to check vision stabilization, reduce inflammation, and manage eye pressure.
- Final prescription update once vision fully adjusts.
Co-Management for Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that causes optic nerve damage due to high eye pressure, potentially leading to permanent vision loss. If medication or laser therapy isn’t enough, glaucoma surgery may be recommended to lower eye pressure.
At Newton Optometry Clinic, we help by coordinating your care with glaucoma specialists and discussing possible surgery options, such as:
- Trabeculectomy: Creates a drainage channel to lower pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): A newer, less invasive treatment.
- Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): Laser therapy to improve drainage.
After surgery, we schedule regular follow-ups to monitor eye pressure and prevent complications.
