Cataract Surgery Co-Management

Cataract Surgery Co-Management

Referrals For Co-Management

If cataract surgery co-management is preferred by the patient, submit a referral using one of the following methods: Make sure to include the patient’s contact information and demographics with each referral. A member of our team will reach out to your team to schedule the cataract surgery evaluation. Our surgical coordination department will call your office to help with additional appointment scheduling after the patient’s cataract evaluation.

Cataract Surgery Consultation

During the cataract surgery consultation, we will examine the patient to determine if they qualify for surgery. Once we confirm the patient is a candidate, the Advanced Eye Care Center will educate them about the best treatment options based on their individual needs. The initial cataract surgery consultation at AECC takes about 2 hours. We will perform the necessary testing and measurements. After determining that a patient qualifies for surgery, we will explain what to expect before, during, and after the surgery. We will also educate them on the benefits of each treatment option and discuss the financial aspects and scheduling requirements related to the surgery. Additionally, we will verify the insurance for eligibility and review the patient’s benefits.

What Can Patients Expect?

Usually, a basic monofocal lens implant with no further vision correction will require glasses or contact lenses after surgery. Patients who choose a Premium Technology Lens option can expect to experience higher-quality vision and no longer need corrective eyewear daily. However, some may still require glasses for certain tasks.

Pre-Existing Conditions

Some existing pathologies and abnormalities may affect the patient’s visual outcome after cataract surgery. Additionally, these conditions may disqualify patients from being candidates for a Premium Technology Lens option. Check Out Our Facebook Page!
