We Work With Chesapeake Ophthalmologists

Some patients are excellent candidates for refractive surgery, while others benefit from a more conservative approach. Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake provides surgical co-management to help patients understand their options, prepare for a safe procedure, and receive thorough follow-up care after surgery.

Eye Surgeries We Co-Manage at Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake

We coordinate care for patients considering or undergoing:

  • LASIK

  • Other refractive vision correction procedures performed by external surgical partners

Our role includes assessing candidacy, preparing you for a safe procedure, and providing attentive post-operative care with an eye doctor who knows your history.

Preparing for Refractive Surgery 

If you and Dr. Keaton determine that surgery is a good option, the next step is preparation. The goal is to ensure that the surgeon has the clearest possible picture of your eye health and that any contributing factors, such as dry eye or contact lens intolerance, are addressed before the procedure.

The team at Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake coordinates with trusted surgical partners and provides the documentation and pre-operative testing needed for a smooth transition.

During this period, you receive guidance on timing, lens wear restrictions, and what to expect before arriving at the surgical center

Post-Operative Care & Long-Term Monitoring 

Dr. Keaton examines the healing corneal surface, checks vision, and evaluates for early signs that may affect comfort or clarity. 

Your follow-up schedule typically includes visits shortly after surgery and again at set intervals until the eyes stabilize.

During each appointment, findings are explained clearly so you know how healing is progressing and when you can expect vision to feel more consistent.

Because Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake provides comprehensive medical eye care, any dryness, inflammation, or fluctuations are addressed promptly.

When to Consider Surgical Co Management

You may want to discuss surgical co-management if you:

  • Are considering LASIK or another refractive procedure

  • Want a medically grounded opinion before making a decision

  • Need guidance to prepare for a safe and successful surgery

  • Prefer postoperative care with a doctor who already knows your history

Patients often appreciate having a single provider oversee the non-surgical aspects of their care, especially when surgery is performed at a separate facility.
