SURGICAL & SPECIALIST REFERRALS

Eye Surgery Co-Management

Here at Beverly Grove Vision Care, we evaluate your eyes and discuss your visual goals to help determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK, PRK or Cataract Surgery. If you are determined to be a good candidate and there are no contraindications for the procedure, we will recommend a pre-operative evaluation with one of the trusted surgeons we work with in the Los Angeles area to determine suitability for surgery.

If during your routine eye examination we discover that you have an eye condition that needs treatment by a specialist, we will refer you to one of our most trusted colleagues in the field, whether it be a retinal, glaucoma, or corneal specialist, depending on the condition that is diagnosed and the treatment that is required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure, performed on one eye at a time. Before deciding if you are ready for cataract surgery, our doctor will go over a thorough medical history, perform a comprehensive examination of your eyes, and discuss your symptoms. If your cataracts must be removed, our doctor will refer you to the top surgeons in Los Angeles for the procedure. Your surgeon will remove your clouded natural lens and replace that lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). Many IOL options exist today, and your doctors will assist you in choosing the correct option for your eyes. In most cases you are able to return to our office for your post-surgical follow ups.

What is LASIK surgery?

LASIK is a procedure which is used to restore your vision. Our doctor is happy to educate and guide you towards the best refractive surgery procedure should you decide you would like to do that. LASIK is a surgery which reshapes the cornea with a laser. Although LASIK is the most popular and well known refractive procedure, if you are not a candidate for LASIK, you may still be a candidate for other refractive surgery, such as PRK, implantable contact lens, and refractive lens exchange. After an evaluation in our office, we will refer you to one of the talented refractive surgeons we work with to see which procedure you are a candidate for.
