PRE AND POST OPERATIVE LASIK EYE SURGERY CARE

At Peachtree and Andrews Family Eye Care, Drs. Jeff Taylor and Dr. Lynn Carringer Taylor provide comprehensive care to meet the vision needs of their patients. As optometrists, they offer pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery, or other eye surgical procedures. Their goal is to help you attain the clearest vision possible using advanced technologies.

Evaluation and Referral

LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery uses the latest advancements in technology to provide faster recovery times and precise results. LASIK surgery has been effective in treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye conditions. At Peachtree and Andrews Family Eye Care, they provide evaluations and referrals for patients interested in LASIK surgery. Dr. Taylor performs a complete review of your patient history as well as a full assessment of your eye health and vision. A current exam is important to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery, and if there are any other factors that may affect your results. The history review enables our optometrist to determine if your prescription is stable and you are healthy enough to consider surgery.

Once Dr. Taylor has performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a candidate for LASIK, you will be given a referral to the LASIK surgery center we have worked with on an ongoing basis. The vision care center will perform advanced diagnostic testing, and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. Various surgery options will be discussed with you if you are determined to be a surgical candidate. The office will be in correspondence regarding your evaluation and surgical determination.

Post-Operative Care

Once your surgery is scheduled, one of the doctors will schedule follow-up appointments for you in our Murphy (Peachtree) or Andrews office. Typically, you will begin these follow-ups the day after the surgery and continue at prearranged times over the following six months. After 1 year, a full exam is recommended to determine the long-term results of your procedure. Dr. Taylor is experienced in working with patients pre- and post-operation, and will answer any questions that you have along the way.  They can share more about the process in person as you work with them.

Advantages of LASIK

If you have worn glasses or contact lenses for a long time, you may have wondered if LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. While not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, it does have some great advantages. People who play sports, have allergies, or who are looking for simplicity will all benefit from LASIK.
