What Are Cataracts? 

Cataracts occur when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, making it harder to see clearly. Over time, this cloudiness can cause blurred or hazy vision, difficulty driving at night, increased glare from lights, or a faded appearance of colors.  

Cataracts are a common part of aging, but they can affect your daily activities and quality of life if left untreated. The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective procedures available, restoring clear vision for millions of people every year.

How Co-Management Works

When it’s time for surgery, you’ll want support you can count on. That’s where co-management comes in. At Monji Optometry, we work hand-in-hand with trusted ophthalmologists who perform the surgical procedure, while we guide you through everything else. Here’s what you can expect: 

  1. Pre-Operative Testing: We perform a detailed eye exam and prepare the measurements your surgeon will need. 
  2. Clear Explanations: We’ll discuss your options and answer your questions so you feel confident about your surgery. 
  3. Referral to Trusted Surgeons: We’ll connect you with experienced ophthalmologists we know and trust. 
  4. Post-Operative Follow-Up: After surgery, you’ll return to us for follow-up eye care, where we’ll monitor your healing and vision. 

With co-management, you receive the expertise of both your surgeon and your local optometrist, working together for your best outcome.
