Eye-care visits can help identify when a surgical specialist should be involved and support routine co-management where appropriate.
Referral and Coordination
Some eye conditions are treated medically while others may require evaluation by an ophthalmologist. When appropriate, patients can be referred for specialty or surgical care.
Common Surgical Conversations
Cataract procedures, refractive surgery, and other ophthalmic procedures may be discussed depending on examination findings and patient needs.
Follow-Up
After surgery, follow-up schedules and responsibilities are determined by the treating providers. Always follow the instructions of your surgeon and eye-care team.
