LASIK & Refractive Surgery Co-Management

If you’re considering LASIK or another vision correction procedure, we’re here to guide you.

Manatee Eye Care provides pre- and post-operative support to ensure a smooth, informed experience from consultation to recovery.

What Is Refractive Surgery?

Refractive surgery refers to procedures that reshape the cornea to improve how light enters the eye, reducing or eliminating the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The most well-known option is LASIK, but there are other alternatives like PRK and SMILE. These surgeries are designed for patients with stable prescriptions who want greater visual independence.

Are You a Candidate for LASIK or Vision Correction?

Not everyone is a candidate for refractive surgery. That’s where we come in. We evaluate your vision, corneal health, prescription stability, and lifestyle needs to determine whether LASIK or another form of refractive surgery might be a good fit.

If you’re eligible, we’ll walk you through the benefits, limitations, and referral process so you can make an informed decision.

How We Support You Before & After Surgery

Our role is to make sure your eye care is continuous and clear. If you move forward with surgery, we handle your pre-operative care, including diagnostic testing, measurements, and initial education.

After the procedure, we provide post-operative follow-up care to monitor healing, address questions, and ensure your vision is progressing as expected. We stay in close contact with your surgeon throughout the process.

Why Co-Management Matters

Elective surgery is a big decision. With co-management, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Staying with a provider you already know and who already knows your eyes means better continuity, personalized follow-up, and peace of mind.

You’ll receive attentive care before and after surgery, with clear communication and no pressure.
