LASIK & Refractive Surgery Co-Management in Mississauga
Considering LASIK or another form of vision correction surgery? Complete Eyecare can help you make an informed decision and provide coordinated care before and after your procedure.
Guidance You Can Trust, Even If You’re Just Exploring Options
Refractive procedures such as LASIK and PRK may reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Determining whether one of these procedures is appropriate requires a thorough assessment of your prescription, corneas, tear film, eye health, and vision goals.
At Complete Eyecare, we provide pre-operative evaluations, coordinate care with LASIK surgeons, and offer post-operative follow-ups. Dr. Preeti Jani helps patients understand their options, prepare for surgery, and monitor their eyes during recovery.
What Is Refractive Surgery Co-Management?
Co-management means that Dr. Jani and your surgeon work together throughout the surgical process. Care may include:
- A comprehensive pre-operative eye exam to evaluate your vision and eye health
- A review of your prescription, corneal measurements, and tear film
-
Referral to a trusted refractive surgeon
-
Coordination of clinical information with the surgical team
-
Post-operative appointments to monitor healing and vision
-
Ongoing eye care after recovery
This approach provides continuity with an eye doctor who already understands your vision and eye health history. The surgeon will complete any additional procedure-specific testing and make the final determination about surgical candidacy.
Are You a Good Candidate for LASIK or PRK?
During your evaluation, Dr. Jani will consider factors such as:
-
Prescription stability
-
Corneal thickness and shape
-
Overall eye health
-
Tear film quality and dry eye symptoms
-
Age and general health
-
Lifestyle needs and vision goals
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK. Depending on the findings, the surgeon may recommend PRK or another procedure. If refractive surgery is not appropriate, Dr. Jani can discuss alternatives such as ortho-k, scleral lenses, updated contact lenses, or eyeglasses.
What Is the Typical LASIK/Laser Eye Surgery Cost?
LASIK and laser eye surgery costs vary widely between providers. Some Canadian clinics advertise entry-level pricing starting at approximately $490 per eye for patients with certain low prescriptions, while customized laser vision correction at Toronto clinics may start around $2,250 per eye.
As a general planning range, LASIK/laser eye surgery cost for both eyes may be approximately $2,000 to $5,000 or more. The final amount can depend on:
-
The strength and complexity of your prescription
-
The recommended procedure, such as LASIK or PRK
-
The surgical technology and level of customization used
-
Whether the quote is for one eye or both eyes
-
Whether pre-operative testing, follow-up care, medications, or future enhancements are included
These figures are general estimates and are not a quote from Complete Eyecare. After assessing your eyes, Dr. Jani can coordinate a referral to a surgical provider that will confirm your recommended procedure, exact fee, and what is included. Patients should also ask their insurance or benefits provider whether any reimbursement or health spending account funds may be available.
Refractive Surgery Support from Start to Finish
Dr. Preeti Jani brings decades of optometric and co-management experience to every stage of the process. If you pursue refractive surgery, she can serve as a familiar point of contact for questions, scheduled follow-ups, and concerns that arise during recovery.
Complete Eyecare uses diagnostic tools such as OCT imaging, retinal imaging, and corneal measurements to evaluate eye health and support informed care decisions. Because Dr. Jani understands your eye history, she can communicate relevant findings to your surgeon and provide personalized follow-up care.
LASIK FAQs
How much does LASIK cost?
LASIK pricing depends on the prescription, procedure, technology, surgical provider, and services included. For both eyes, patients may encounter costs ranging from approximately $2,000 to $5,000 or more, although advertised starting prices can be lower for limited prescriptions. Your surgical provider will supply an exact quote after completing the required measurements and recommending a procedure.What Is the Difference Between PRK and LASIK
Both LASIK and PRK use a laser to reshape the cornea, but they differ in how the corneal surface is accessed and how recovery progresses. The most appropriate option depends on factors such as corneal thickness, prescription, eye health, lifestyle, and the surgeon’s assessment.
How long does LASIK last?
LASIK permanently changes the shape of the cornea, and the resulting vision correction can be long-lasting. However, the eyes can continue to change because of aging, prescription changes, presbyopia, cataracts, or other eye conditions. Some patients may need glasses, contact lenses, or additional treatment later in life.
