What is Consultation & Co-Management?

The Consultation

The first step towards laser eye surgery is a consultation. In this consultation, your optometrist will determine if laser eye surgery can improve your vision. Laser eye surgery could help correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

During your consultation, your optometrist will screen for various eye health conditions that may affect your candidacy for surgery, including:

Following your exam, your optometrist will want to outline a few details about the surgery, talk about your expectations, and discuss your recovery.

It’s important to understand that laser eye surgery doesn’t always result in 20/20 vision. About 90% of patients achieve 20/20 or 20/40 vision, but some still require glasses or contact lenses.

Once we’ve determined your candidacy for surgery, we’ll refer you to one of our trusted ophthalmologists.

Co-Management

Following your surgery, we’ll book a series of follow-up appointments at Griffin Optometric Group – Talega to ensure that your eyes are healing correctly.

You can expect some side effects post-surgery, including:

Glare
Dry eyes
Sensitivity to Light
Blurred vision
General discomfort

These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process, but if they appear to be escalating, contact us right away.

LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK eye surgery is the most performed laser eye surgery in North America.

During LASIK surgery, the ophthalmologist numbs your eyes with drops and makes a small incision in the outermost corneal layer. This incision creates a thin flap that folds back to expose the corneal tissue. Your corneal tissue is reshaped using a pre-programmed laser to the desired prescription.
