Cataract Co-Management

Cataract co-management involves a collaborative approach between optometrists and ophthalmologists to provide comprehensive care for patients with cataracts. This includes pre-operative evaluation, post-operative care, and communication between the two professionals to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. It is important for patients to have regular eye exams to detect cataracts early and for optometrists and ophthalmologists to work together to provide optimal care.

Glaucoma Co-Management

Glaucoma co-management involves collaboration between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist to ensure the best possible care for patients with glaucoma. This approach allows for regular monitoring of intraocular pressure, visual field testing, and evaluation of optic nerve health. Treatment may include medication, laser therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity of the disease. Regular communication and coordination between the two healthcare providers is essential for effective management of glaucoma.

Macular Degeneration
​​​​​​​

Macular degeneration is a common eye condition that affects the central part of the retina, causing vision loss. There are two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet. Dry macular degeneration is more common and progresses slowly, while wet macular degeneration progresses quickly and can result in severe vision loss. Treatment options for macular degeneration include medication injections, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy. Regular eye exams and early detection are important for managing macular degeneration.
