Cataract & LASIK co-management in Bellflower
We handle your evaluation and recovery visits close to home, working hand in hand with experienced eye surgeons.
What is co-management?
Co-management means your eye surgeon performs the procedure, and we take care of the visits before and after it. You get a skilled surgeon plus the convenience and familiarity of your own eye doctor, without long drives for every check-up.
It’s especially helpful for seniors having cataract surgery, and for families who want a doctor they already trust guiding them through the process.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Call (562) 867-4716.
How do I know if I have cataracts?
Cloudy or dim vision, glare from headlights, faded colors and frequent prescription changes are common signs. A comprehensive exam will tell you for sure.
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
Good candidates are adults with a stable prescription and healthy corneas. We’ll measure your eyes and give you an honest recommendation.
Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?
Medicare generally covers medically necessary cataract surgery, plus one pair of glasses or contacts afterward. Ask us and we’ll walk you through it.
Who do I call if I have a problem after surgery?
Call us first during office hours. We’re in close contact with your surgeon. After hours, follow the emergency instructions your surgeon gave you.
Will I still need glasses after surgery?
Many people need glasses less, but some still use them for reading or driving. We’ll update your prescription once you’ve healed.
