Laser Eye Surgery Explained
Laser eye surgery, including LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) and other refractive procedures, is designed to correct common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By using a highly precise laser, the shape of the cornea is adjusted, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina.
Laser eye surgery is a safe and effective way to reduce or eliminate dependence on corrective lenses, and many patients experience significant improvement in their vision almost immediately after the procedure.

What Is Co-Management?
Co-management involves working together with your eye surgeon to ensure the best possible care before and after your procedure. As your trusted optometrists at Atlantic Eye Associates, we handle the initial consultations, conduct pre-surgical evaluations, and provide post-operative care while your surgeon performs the surgery itself.
This partnership ensures that:
- Your eyes are properly evaluated to determine whether you’re a good candidate for surgery.
- Your care is customized to your needs before, during, and after the procedure.
- Post-surgery care is handled conveniently and close to home, with our team monitoring your recovery to ensure optimal results.

Discussion of Your Options
During your consultation, we’ll explain the types of laser eye surgery available, like LASIK, PRK, or SMILE, and discuss which option may be best suited for your needs.
Pre-Operative Care
Before your surgery, we’ll answer any questions you may have and provide pre-operative instructions to ensure you’re fully prepared for the procedure.
Follow-Up Care
After your LASIK surgery, we’ll ensure your eyes are healing properly, check your vision improvement, and address any concerns you might have.

LASIK doesn’t end with the surgery. We offer ongoing care and support to keep your eyes healthy, ensuring your new vision remains clear and stable.
