Loveland Optometrist Announces LASIK Eye Surgery Co-Management Agreements with Regional Eye Surgeons

Eye exams and overall eye health are the optometrist's specialties while eye surgery is the ophthalmologist's specialty. Dr. Kenneth Van Amerongen, optometrist, and regional eye surgeons offer the best of both worlds to their LASIK vision correction candidates.

Loveland, Colorado, United States - December 19, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Kenneth Van Amerongen, Doctor of Optometry in Loveland, Colorado, offers pre- and post-op eye care in patient management partnerships with regional ophthalmologists who provide custom blade-less LASIK surgeries.

In co-management, the patient receives the premier skills of both the optometrist and ophthalmologist. Best of all, by agreement, there is no extra cost to the patient for these benefits even though two eye doctors are involved.

LASIK eye surgery is performed by an experienced ophthalmologist using an excimer laser to correct astigmatisms and reshape the cornea, allowing patients to see without the use of glasses or contacts.

After a comprehensive eye exam, and knowing the patient's vision goals, Dr. Van Amerongen refers the patient to a Northern Colorado eye surgeon whose skills and equipment are best suited for the unique vision correction needed by the patient.

Co-management is the optimal situation for Dr. Van Amerongen's patients before and after surgery as he provides the necessary pre-op exams and preparations as well as post-op care for up to 12 months after surgery.

The prospective surgeons understand that patients often prefer to work with their local optometrist throughout their procedure for comfort and familiarity. Dr. Van, as he is called, thoroughly understands the LASIK procedures and requirements. His consultations with the patient and thorough eye exams allow Dr. Van to provide tests and measurements needed by the surgeon.

Before the procedure takes place, Dr. Van walks his patient through the process and answers any questions or concerns that may arise. He performs pre-op exams to ensure that his patients are true candidates for LASIK and assists them through their preparations before they meet with their ophthalmologist. After surgery, Dr. Van provides personal post-op care for up to 12 months to ensure that proper healing has taken place and vision has been improved.

It might seem strange that patients choose to see Dr. Van before and after surgery rather than work exclusively with their ophthalmologist, but the benefits of co-management are worthwhile. Many patients have been seeing Dr. Van for years and trust him with their eye care. He is available on a personal level and his patients trust him to provide expert recommendations more than they would an unknown ophthalmologist.

Dr. Van is able to give patients an unbiased opinion of their eye health and recommend a LASIK surgeon who Dr. Van knows and trusts. Together, through eye surgery co-management, they enable their patients to take their vision to the next level.
