Surgery Co-Management

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a common condition, especially as we age, where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dimmed vision. While cataracts can significantly impact your quality of life, cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore clear vision. It is one of the safest surgical procedures there is. The procedure involves removing and replacing the clouded lens with an artificial lens that can significantly improve your vision.

Making Every Case A Priority

Our Co-Management Process

1. Diagnosis and Evaluation:
During your comprehensive eye exam, we will assess the severity of your cataracts and discuss your symptoms and concerns. If cataract surgery is necessary, we will explain the procedure, answer any questions, and help you understand what to expect.

We work closely with a network of highly skilled cataract surgeons in Maple Ridge. We’ll refer you to a surgeon who best suits your needs and preferences and coordinate the handoff to ensure a seamless transition.

3. Pre-Surgical Care:
Before your surgery, we will conduct a thorough pre-operative evaluation to ensure your eyes are healthy and ready for the procedure. We’ll provide detailed instructions on preparing for surgery and discuss any medications or steps you must take beforehand.

4. Post-Surgical Follow-Up:
After your surgery, you’ll return to Pacific Eye Doctors for follow-up care. We will monitor your healing process, check for any signs of complications, and ensure your vision improves as expected. This ongoing care is essential to achieving the best possible outcome from your surgery.
