Cataract Co-Management
Expert Guidance Before and After Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to navigate the process alone. At Lynn Valley Optometry, we offer comprehensive cataract co-management, partnering with trusted surgeons to support your care from diagnosis through recovery.
Our role is to be your local, familiar team - providing education, detailed assessments, pre-surgical planning, and post-operative follow-up so you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are the clouding of your eye’s natural lens. They often develop slowly, causing symptoms such as:
-
Blurry or hazy vision
-
Difficulty driving at night
-
Glare or halos around lights
-
Faded colours or trouble reading
-
Frequent changes in your glasses prescription
Cataracts are very common after age 60, but with early detection and proper monitoring, they can be managed effectively.
Our Co-Management Process
We work closely with top ophthalmologists in the region to ensure your surgery and recovery are smooth and personalized.
-
Diagnosis & Monitoring
During your comprehensive eye exam, we assess lens clarity and discuss any vision changes that could indicate cataract development.
-
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
Once surgery is appropriate, we perform all necessary testing and coordinate with your surgeon to determine the best timing and lens implant options for your lifestyle (including multifocal or toric lenses if applicable).
-
Post-Operative Care
After surgery, we monitor your healing, manage any post-op symptoms, and ensure your vision is stabilizing properly. You'll continue seeing the local optometry team you know and trust - with easy access if questions or concerns arise.
