Pre And Post Cataract Surgery Eye Care
Lasik:
Interested in getting Lasik done but don’t know where to start? Book an appointment with your optometrist. Here at Ambleside Family Optometry, our doctors will help you understand the benefits and risks of Lasik surgery as well as addressing any questions you may have. When proceeding with Lasik, our doctors will make a referral to an ophthalmologist, who will then contact you for a consultation and book a surgery date. After approximately 3-6 weeks of uneventful surgery, you will be booked with our optometrists to monitor the results and the overall health of your eyes.
Cataract:
After uneventful cataract surgery, the ophthalmologist may request that the remainder of the follow ups be done through your optometrist. Approximately around 3-6 weeks after cataract surgery, your optometrist will perform a refraction (checking the overall vision) and monitor the healing process. Results from both ophthalmologist and optometrist are communicated.
