Co-Management

Co-management means “teamwork.” Your Optometrist delivers primary eye care—annual examinations, prescription of glasses and contact lenses, and the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Commonwealth Eye Surgery provides both secondary eye care—special testing and management of difficult eye diseases—and tertiary eye care—surgery. Our tertiary includes Precision Cataract Surgery, Laser Surgery for “After-Cataracts” and Glaucoma, and Refractive Laser (LASIK, PRK) Surgery.

Your local Optometrist can provide most, if not all, of your post-surgical follow-up care. Our coordinated effort ensures that you receive the highest quality care while keeping your travel time to a minimum. Should you desire, we are always available to evaluate you at our clinic, or simply talk with you by phone.
