We provide post-surgical co-management so you have a familiar team guiding you through healing. Our eye doctors work closely with local surgeons to monitor your recovery after cataract, corneal, refractive, and other eye procedures.
Post-Surgical Co-Management in Chevy Chase
We review your eye health, check for conditions such as dry eye or corneal disease, and share those findings with your surgeon, so your procedure can be planned with the full picture in mind. After surgery, we see you for follow-up visits to track healing, refine your prescription, and ensure you feel confident in how your eyes are doing.
What Post-Surgical Co-Management Means
Co-management means your optometrist and surgeon work as a team. Your surgeon performs the procedure, and our eye doctors provide many of the pre- and post-operative visits close to home. We check vision and comfort, review medications, and watch for any early signs of complications so they can be addressed quickly. You benefit from continuity of care with a practice that already knows your eyes.
Dry Eye, Corneal Changes & Specialty Lenses
Some patients develop dry eye or corneal irregularities around the time of surgery. Because Eye Rx - Chevy Chase also offers a Dry Eye Center and a Specialty Contact Lens Center, we can address these issues as part of your post-surgical plan. Treatments may include dry eye therapy or, when needed, specialty lenses such as scleral lenses or EyePrint Pro to help restore clear, comfortable vision.
Recovery does not end a few days after your procedure. If you are preparing for surgery, recently had one, or feel unsure about how your eyes are healing, our team is here to help. We will guide you through each stage of recovery, coordinate with your surgeon, and focus on protecting your vision over the long term.
