If you’ve been thinking about LASIK to achieve clearer vision without glasses or contacts, you’re not alone. Many people in Pismo Beach and the surrounding Central Coast communities turn to LASIK for its life-changing benefits. At Advanced Eyecare Central Coast, we work closely with top LASIK specialists to guide you through every step of your vision correction journey.

What Is Co-Management?

Co-management means that your eye care is shared between two professionals—your local optometrist and the LASIK surgeon. While the surgeon performs the procedure, your optometrist plays a key role in pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care.

Rather than only seeing a specialist at a surgical center, co-management allows you to continue working with a doctor who already understands your vision history, eye health, and personal needs. It creates a seamless experience with personalized care before and after surgery.

A Thorough Pre-LASIK Evaluation

Not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK. Before undergoing surgery, a detailed eye exam is necessary to assess corneal thickness, eye shape, tear film quality, and overall eye health. Some conditions, like dry eye disease or keratoconus, can impact eligibility. By visiting us at Advanced Eyecare Central Coast, we can determine whether LASIK is truly the best option or if an alternative, like PRK or EVO ICL, might be a better fit.

Local, Personalized Care

LASIK centers are often located in larger cities, which can be inconvenient for follow-ups. Instead of driving long distances for every appointment, co-management allows you to receive most of your pre- and post-op care right here in Pismo Beach. You get the convenience of a local provider with the expertise of a highly skilled LASIK surgeon.

Post-Surgery Recovery & Monitoring

Your LASIK journey doesn’t end once the procedure is complete. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing, check for complications, and ensure you achieve the best vision possible.

Many patients experience dry eye, glare, or minor fluctuations in vision in the weeks following LASIK. With co-management, we’ll be available to address any concerns, provide relief for dry eyes, and make sure your recovery stays on track. If any issues arise, we can work directly with your LASIK surgeon to adjust your care plan.

Long-Term Vision Health

LASIK is designed to be a long-term solution, but your vision can still change over time. As your primary eye care provider, we continue monitoring your eye health for years after LASIK. Whether you need routine eye exams, enhancements, or solutions for age-related vision changes, we’ll be here to help.

Your Trusted Partner in LASIK Co-Management

We believe in giving our patients the highest level of care—before, during, and after LASIK. By choosing a co-managed approach, you get the best of both worlds: a skilled LASIK surgeon and a trusted local optometrist who prioritizes your long-term eye health.
