If you’re planning for LASIK or cataract surgery, or recovering after one, you don’t have to manage the process alone. Wilmington Eye Care Optometry offers co-management services designed to support you through every stage of care.
Eye Surgery Co-Management in Wilmington, CA
Your long-term partner
We work closely with local surgeons to provide pre-operative evaluations, post-operative follow-ups, and long-term support to protect your vision. From your first consultation to your final check-in, we’re here to answer questions, monitor your healing, and ensure consistent care.
We provide co-management services for two of the most common eye surgeries, as well as in-office care for certain urgent conditions.
LASIK Co-Management
If you’re considering LASIK vision correction, we’ll start with a complete eye exam and candidacy screening to determine whether the procedure is right for you. If you’re a good fit, we’ll refer you to a LASIK specialist and walk you through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
Once your surgery is complete, we’ll handle your follow-up appointments right here at our Wilmington eye clinic, including:
- Monitoring healing and comfort
- Checking your visual outcomes
- Addressing any concerns or side effects
Cataract Surgery Co-Management
As cataracts begin to affect your vision, we’ll be the first to help you recognize the signs and, when it’s time for surgery, help you prepare. We coordinate with local ophthalmologists for the surgical procedure and provide full pre- and post-op care here in our office.
This includes:
- Diagnosing and tracking cataract progression
- Preparing you for surgery with clear expectations
- Monitoring healing, vision improvement, and eye pressure after surgery
Having your optometrist involved in your recovery means clearer answers and a familiar face at every step.
Foreign Body Removal
If something gets into your eye, like dust, metal, sand, or lashes, we offer in-office foreign body removal during regular business hours. We use gentle techniques to reduce irritation and protect your vision.
For more serious injuries or deeper objects, we’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist.
The Benefits of Co-Management
Surgery is a big step, and having an eye doctor you trust through the process makes a difference. When you choose co-management at Wilmington Eye Care Optometry, you stay connected to a provider who knows your vision history, goals, and everyday life.
Benefits of co-management include:
- Consistent care from a familiar eye doctor
- Fewer follow-up trips to surgical centers
- Local support for questions, concerns, and healing
- Better communication between your optometrist and surgeon
- More comfort and convenience during your recovery
We don’t perform the surgery, but we make sure your care never feels disconnected.
Our Care at Wilmington Eye Care Optometry
Every co-management plan is tailored to your needs, but in general, here’s what you can expect:
A pre-operative evaluation to review your eye health and confirm surgical readiness.
A referral to a trusted specialist, with guidance about what comes next.
Post-op visits to monitor healing, check your visual outcome, and manage symptoms or side effects.
Ongoing care and answers after the surgical team’s portion is complete.
