Co-Management Covers Pre-Op Exams & Post-Op Follow-Ups 

Co-management means your optometrist and surgeon share responsibility for your care. Dr. Idris evaluates your eyes before surgery, prepares referral documentation, and performs follow-up exams after the procedure.

This model keeps your eye care local, consistent, and well-coordinated, so you don’t have to rely on the surgical center for everything. 

Cataract Surgery Referrals Include Education & Lens Guidance 

When cataracts begin interfering with daily activities like reading, night driving, or screen use, Dr. Idris will guide you through your next steps. We provide cataract screenings, confirm the diagnosis, and explain the difference between basic and premium lens options. Once your surgery is scheduled, you’ll return to our Alpharetta office for post-op care and prescription updates as your eyes heal.

LASIK & PRK Patients Receive Local Support After Surgery 

LASIK co-management includes your pre-surgical evaluation and a referral to a trusted local surgeon. After the procedure, Dr. Idris monitors healing, checks for visual fluctuations, dryness, or glare issues, and confirms long-term stability. If you’re unsure whether laser vision correction is right for you, we’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation and talk through realistic outcomes. 

Patients Stay With the Same Doctor From Start to Finish 

Dr. Idris personally oversees all pre- and post-operative appointments. This helps ensure your healing is monitored by someone who knows your eyes and your recovery goals. Consistent care reduces communication gaps and enables more accurate adjustments if vision needs change after surgery.

A Surgical Consultation May Be Appropriate If Vision Has Changed 

For cataracts, early signs include glare while driving at night, trouble reading fine print, or needing more light to see clearly. LASIK may be appropriate for patients under 50 with stable prescriptions who want to reduce dependency on glasses.

If you’ve noticed a change, or you’re just ready to explore your options. Dr. Idris can help you decide whether surgery makes sense now or later.
