Lasik & Refractive Surgery Co-Management
You may know these scenarios all too well. The hassle of having to take your contacts out before bed and cleaning them. Forgetting your glasses at home and needing them for work or to watch something important to you. Needing to bring around special cases for your contact lenses or eye glasses, especially if they are used to correct different issues.
Although surgery may sound daunting at first, it has become a routine procedure with amazing results that help you ditch those contact lenses and glasses in most cases and enjoy your life.
The proficient team at Illinois Vision Clinic is proud to serve the local community with quality vision care services, including LASIK and refractive surgery so that we can address the root of the issue and restore your ability to see clearly and enjoy all of life’s most precious moments and little details.
What is LASIK?
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This procedure can significantly improve your vision and reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
You may have heard of it before, and it is completely routine. Here’s what you can expect from LASIK surgery with the team at Illinois Vision Clinic:
- Quick Procedure: The procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes per eye.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
- Rapid Healing: Vision usually improves significantly within a few days.
- Long-Lasting Results: For many people, the results of LASIK are long-lasting.
What is Refractive Surgery Co-Management?
Refractive surgery co-management is a collaborative approach between your eye doctor and a refractive surgeon.
Our partnership ensures that you receive the highest quality care and support throughout your surgical journey. Our eye doctor will:
- Perform a Comprehensive Eye Exam: To determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK or other refractive surgery.
- Discuss Your Options: To help you understand the benefits, risks, and limitations of each procedure.
- Coordinate Your Care: To work closely with the refractive surgeon to ensure a smooth and successful procedure.
- Provide Post-Operative Care: To monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Benefits of LASIK and Refractive Surgery
