Corneal Comanagement
Corneal co-management is a collaborative approach to patient care, where your optometrist and ophthalmologist work together to provide comprehensive treatment for corneal conditions. This ensures seamless care, from diagnosis and pre-operative evaluation to post-operative follow-up, optimizing your vision and corneal health.
Why Corneal Co-Management Matters
If you’re living with a corneal condition like keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, corneal transplant, or corneal scarring, you may be seeing a specialist in Portland. To make your care more convenient, we frequently partner with these specialists. This “co-management” approach allows us to handle certain aspects of your care locally, reducing the need for frequent trips out of town, while ensuring seamless communication and a unified treatment plan under your specialist’s guidance.
How We Help
In many cases, we work closely and communicate with your ophthalmologist to make sure that your care team is on the same page to help reduce the number of trips you have to make in to Portland to be seen.
Of course this decision to co-manage is up to your corneal specialist’s discretion. We love to help where we are able, especially for more minor things like mild infections to prevent patients from having to travel to Portland for something simple. If you see a cornea specialist, please let us know who and we can establish a connection with them regarding your case.
We have many patients who have significant corneal disease impacting their vision such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, corneal transplants, corneal scarring, etc. Frequently these patients see both us, as well as their corneal ophthalmologist in Portland.
