Continuity of care with your eye care physician is crucial for surgical procedures. They know your eye history and understand the changes your eyes have undergone, ensuring tailored surgical care and follow-up for the best outcomes.
Pre and Post-operative Care Services
Our eye care physicians at the Eye Center of Ephraim are skilled in providing pre and post-operative care for a variety of surgical procedures, including but not limited to:
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): A popular procedure for correcting vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea with a laser.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): Similar to LASIK, PRK involves reshaping the cornea’s surface and is often recommended for patients with thin corneas.
- Cataract Surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, restoring clear vision.
- Retinal Surgery: Critical for repairing retinal detachments, macular holes, or other retina-related problems that can affect vision.
- Corneal Transplants: Used to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea, often necessary in conditions like keratoconus or corneal scars.
- Glaucoma Surgery: Aimed at reducing intraocular pressure to prevent or slow down the damage to the optic nerve, crucial for managing glaucoma effectively.
