LASIK can reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, but successful care involves more than the procedure itself. Ellis Eye Optometry provides LASIK surgery co-management in Lancaster, CA, helping patients receive coordinated support before surgery and throughout recovery.

What Is LASIK Co-Management?

LASIK co-management is a partnership between your optometrist and LASIK surgeon. Our optometrist completes the initial evaluation, reviews your eye health and vision needs, and helps determine whether laser vision correction may be appropriate. If you move forward, your care is coordinated with the surgeon who performs the procedure.

After surgery, follow-up visits allow your optometrist to monitor healing, evaluate vision changes, and communicate with the surgeon when needed. This approach provides continuity from your first consultation through postoperative care.

Your LASIK Evaluation

A detailed eye examination is an important first step for patients considering LASIK surgery in Lancaster. We assess your prescription, corneal health, tear film, and overall eye health. We also discuss your visual goals, lifestyle, medical history, and expectations.

Not every patient is a suitable candidate for LASIK. Factors such as prescription stability, corneal thickness, dry eye, age, and certain health conditions may affect eligibility. When another option may be more appropriate, we can explain the next steps and help you make an informed decision.

Postoperative Eye Care

Follow-up care is essential after LASIK. During these visits, we check how your eyes are healing, monitor visual clarity, and look for concerns that may require additional attention. We also review eye drop use, activity restrictions, and other recovery instructions provided by your surgeon.
