About Our Eye Surgery Co-Management Services

The correct course of action for treating vision disorders depends on the severity of the condition and its symptoms. In some cases, surgery is the only option. Although the doctors at Savedoff, Ciccone & Davis, Doctors of Optometry, P.C., do not perform surgeries, they work with ophthalmologists to closely monitor patients post-operation. We see patients who’ve recently undergone cataract surgery, laser/LASIK surgery, and several other eye-related surgical procedures.

Our highly skilled team uses eye health examinations to observe patients’ vision systems after their operations. This helps to ensure the surgical area heals properly and may reduce the risk of complications.
