What Is LASIK Co-Management—and Why Does It Matter? 


LASIK co-management means we work with a laser eye surgeon to help manage your care throughout the LASIK journey. At Blink Eyewear, our optometrists don’t perform the LASIK procedure themselves. Instead, we handle everything else—evaluating your candidacy, coordinating referrals, and providing pre- and post-operative exams. 

Why is this important? Because LASIK isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your overall eye health, corneal thickness, age, prescription stability, and lifestyle all determine whether it’s a safe and effective option. Working with our optometrists ensures you receive unbiased advice, personalized guidance, and thorough follow-up care from professionals who know your eyes best. 

Step-by-Step: Your LASIK Journey with Blink Eyewear


 Here’s what you can expect when you choose Blink Eyewear for LASIK co-management

1. Comprehensive Eye Exam & LASIK Candidacy Assessment 

We start with a full eye exam and eligibility screening. This includes: 

  • Checking corneal thickness 
  • Evaluating your prescription stability 
  • Measuring eye surface health 
  • Assessing pupil size and tear film quality 

If LASIK isn’t the best fit, we’ll walk you through safe alternatives. 

2. Trusted Referral to Calgary LASIK Surgeons 

If you’re a good candidate, we refer you to a reputable laser eye surgeon in Calgary. We’ve built strong partnerships with leading providers to ensure you get expert surgical care. 

3. Pre-Op Guidance from Your Optometrist 

Before your surgery date, we provide advice on: 

  • How to prepare 
  • What to expect during and after the procedure 
  • Temporary adjustments to your contact lens routine 

We ensure your eyes are in optimal condition before surgery. 

4. Post-Op Monitoring and Recovery Support 

After LASIK, your first follow-up is typically within 24–48 hours. We’ll monitor healing, check visual outcomes, and provide additional appointments over the next few months to: 

  • Track vision stability 
  • Manage any discomfort or dryness 
  • Ensure your eye surface remains healthy 

Having your care close to home at Blink makes follow-ups simple and stress-free. 

Is LASIK Right for You? 


LASIK is life-changing—but it’s not for everyone. You may not be eligible if you: 

  • Have thin corneas 
  • Experience dry eye syndrome 
  • Have an unstable prescription 
  • Are pregnant or nursing 
  • Have certain autoimmune conditions 

That’s why a thorough co-managed approach is so important. At Blink Eyewear, we ensure you’re making a safe, informed choice.

Your LASIK Questions Answered

LASIK co-management means your optometrist works closely with your laser eye surgeon to guide your care before and after surgery. Your optometrist completes detailed pre-operative testing to confirm candidacy, explains the procedure, and helps you prepare for surgery. After LASIK, they monitor your healing, check your vision, manage dryness, and ensure your eyes are recovering properly.

This shared-care approach makes follow-up visits more convenient and keeps your eye health supported at every stage of treatment. It also allows you to receive consistent guidance from a provider who already knows your eye history. If you are considering vision correction surgery, contact Blink Eyewear today to book a LASIK consultation.  

No, Blink Eyewear does not perform LASIK surgery in-house. However, we play an important role in your LASIK journey through comprehensive co-management care. Our optometrists begin by assessing your vision, eye health, and lifestyle needs to determine whether you are a good candidate for laser vision correction.

If LASIK is right for you, we refer you to a trusted Calgary laser eye surgeon for the procedure itself. Before surgery, we complete detailed measurements and provide clear guidance on how to prepare. After your treatment, we manage your follow-up visits, monitor healing, check vision changes, and address dryness or discomfort. This approach ensures your eyes are supported before and after surgery while allowing you to receive personalized care close to home.

We evaluate several important factors to determine whether LASIK is safe and appropriate for you. This includes measuring your corneal thickness, reviewing your prescription stability, and examining the overall health of your eyes. These assessments help identify conditions that could affect healing, visual outcomes, or long-term eye health.

A detailed evaluation also allows us to discuss your vision goals, lifestyle needs, and any potential risks. This ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your eyes, not a one-size-fits-all approach. If LASIK is not the best option, we can recommend alternative vision correction solutions that may better suit your needs and help you achieve clear, comfortable vision.
