Your Eye Surgeon & Optometrist Have Different Roles in Your Surgical Care
Your surgeon performs the operation and directs your surgical treatment. When co-management is appropriate, your optometrist may provide certain assessments and follow-up examinations as part of an agreed care plan.
Each doctor remains responsible for their role in your care. Your surgeon determines which visits and assessments a participating optometrist can complete.
Clear communication between providers helps ensure that important findings are shared throughout your care.
Pre-Surgery Eye Exams Help Prepare for Your Procedure
Before eye surgery, your care team needs information about your vision, eye health, and relevant medical history.
Depending on the procedure, a preoperative assessment may involve reviewing your prescription, examining your eyes, and identifying conditions that could affect surgical planning or recovery.
Your surgeon may also require additional measurements or testing.
These examinations provide the information needed for surgical planning and help address concerns before the procedure.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up Visits Help Monitor Healing & Vision Changes
Your recovery continues after you leave the surgical facility. Follow-up appointments help assess how your eyes are healing and whether your vision is changing as expected.
Depending on the procedure, these visits may include an eye health exam, a review of your symptoms, and a vision assessment.
Your surgeon determines which postoperative visits a participating optometrist can complete and which require surgical follow-up.
Certain Symptoms During Recovery Require Prompt Medical Attention
Your surgical team should explain which symptoms are expected during recovery and which require urgent assessment.
Severe or increasing eye pain, sudden vision loss, or rapidly worsening symptoms may indicate a complication.
Contact your surgeon or seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a scheduled follow-up appointment.
Surgical Co-Management Helps Coordinate Care Between Your Providers
When more than one doctor is involved in your surgical care, clear responsibilities and communication are important.
Co-management may allow a participating optometrist to perform certain examinations while your surgeon remains responsible for the surgical procedure and overall surgical treatment plan.
Before agreeing to co-management, confirm which doctor will handle your appointments, how findings will be shared, and whom to contact if a problem develops.
Dr. Annie Liang has a background in pediatric and binocular vision care, including experience working alongside a strabismus surgeon.
Strabismus occurs when the eyes do not align properly. Surgical care for this condition may involve assessments of eye alignment, binocular vision, and visual function before and after the procedure.
Dr. Liang's previous experience includes preoperative and postoperative care for patients undergoing eye alignment correction.
Preoperative Assessments Support Surgical Planning
Eye health evaluations provide information about your vision, medical history, and conditions that may affect surgery. Findings can help inform your surgeon's treatment plan.
Postoperative Care Monitors Healing & Vision Changes
Follow-up examinations help assess eye health, visual changes, and recovery after surgery. Findings can guide further care or referral when additional attention is needed.
Communication Between Providers Supports Continuity of Care
Surgical co-management allows participating optometrists and surgeons to coordinate examinations and share relevant findings. Each provider maintains responsibility for their role in your treatment.
Eye Alignment Surgery May Require Specialized Follow-Up
Strabismus surgery changes the position of the eye muscles to improve alignment. Follow-up assessments may evaluate eye position, binocular vision, and recovery after the procedure.
