LASIK Co-management
Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, commonly referred to as LASIK, is a corrective alternative to glasses or contact lenses. Like glasses or contact lenses, LASIK is a method for treating refractive conditions including nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. At Tulsa Vision Clinic, Dr. Cheatham provides pre- and post-operative exams for LASIK and other eye procedures.
When you come in for a laser eye surgery consultation, we have two goals in mind. The first is to ensure that you are a good candidate for surgery, without any pre-existing health conditions that might complicate the procedure. The second is to make sure you understand all of the facts, benefits, and potential risks associated with refractive surgery, before making a decision.
After we’ve performed a thorough examination of your eye health and determined the precise level of correction needed, we will refer you to an experienced ophthalmologist to perform the surgery.
After your procedure, we will check in with you to see how you’re feeling and schedule a follow-up visit with you. At your follow-up, we’ll test your vision and examine your corneas to see how you’re progressing in the healing process. We’ll also address any questions or concerns that may have come up since your surgery.
