After LASIK – What Does Co-Management Look Like?

After LASIK surgery, your need for vision care continues. The surgery will likely improve your vision to 20/25 or even better, but that does not mean you never need to see the eye doctor in Champaign, IL. As part of our LASIK co-management service, Champaign Eye Professionals offers LASIK aftercare to ensure your vision stays good and your eyes stay healthy.

What Is LASIK Co-Management and Aftercare?

At Champaign Eye Professionals, we partner with LASIK surgeons to help screen patients for this procedure. While we don’t perform LASIK at our office, we do help our patients take advantage of this treatment if it is a good option for them. Before LASIK, we help our patients maintain good vision and eye health, so they are well prepared for the surgery.

A key component of LASIK co-management is LASIK aftercare. Because we understand LASIK surgery, we can offer post-operative care to our patients. This often costs less than it would at the surgical center, and it also helps our patients maintain their eye health with eye doctors in Champaign, IL, whom they already know and trust.

Aftercare from LASIK looks similar to traditional vision care. We will screen you for any changes to your vision, eye health concerns, and overall eye care needs. However, we will also monitor healing from LASIK and provide care for any concerns, such as dry eye, that develop after surgery.

Glasses After LASIK

While LASIK is designed to eliminate the need for glasses, sometimes patients will find that their eyes do change as they age. A common need is the need for reading glasses as a patient gets older. Again, with LASIK aftercare at Champaign Eye Professionals, you can have regular screenings to see if this is necessary.

LASIK is a great way to restore your vision. Aftercare with Champaign Eye Professionals, your eye doctor in Champaign, IL, you can maintain your vision and eye health well after surgery.
