After eye surgery, follow-up care plays a critical role in recovery. At Eye See Optique — Arlington, post-surgical co-management provides structured monitoring and ongoing care in coordination with your surgeon. This approach supports healing, visual recovery, and clear communication throughout the post-operative period.
What Post-Surgical Co-Management Means for You
Post-surgical co-management is a coordinated care approach between your eye surgeon and your optometry team. Your surgeon directs the surgical procedure, while our eye doctor at Eye See Optique — Arlington provides appropriate pre- and post-operative visits, monitoring, and communication. This structure helps ensure your recovery is clearly explained, closely monitored, and easy to manage.
Your Eye Care Before and After Surgery
Co-management may begin before surgery with evaluations that document eye health and vision status. After surgery, follow-up visits focus on monitoring healing, assessing visual changes, and confirming that recovery is progressing as expected.
When appropriate, our optometrists will share findings with your surgeon so that care decisions remain aligned and coordinated.
What Happens at Post-Operative Visits
Post-operative visits are focused on recovery and monitoring, not surgical treatment. During these visits, we evaluate eye health, review symptoms, assess vision, and address questions or concerns related to healing.
Advanced diagnostic tools may be used when clinically indicated to support accurate tracking over time. You will receive clear explanations of findings and guidance on when additional follow-up is recommended.
When to Contact Eye See Optique — Arlington or Your Surgeon
Knowing who to contact during recovery helps reduce uncertainty. Routine post-operative visits and monitoring may take place at Eye See Optique — Arlington as part of co-management. Surgical concerns or urgent post-operative symptoms should be directed to your surgeon or emergency care when appropriate.
We help clarify next steps so you know where to turn at each stage of recovery.
Post-surgical recovery benefits from consistent monitoring and clear communication. Co-management allows your care team to track healing, identify concerns early, and support a smooth transition back to routine eye care once recovery is complete. Scheduling a follow-up visit helps ensure changes are addressed promptly and that your care remains coordinated.
