(iHealthWire.Org) – The Eye Center of Texas has its strength in the co-managed patient care between exceptionally well-trained optometrists of Texas and the doctors in the clinic. Co-management of patient care combines clinical expertise with patient choice and convenience of care. Eye Center of Texas doctors share the eye care of patients with the patient’s optometrist. Not only is in the best interests of the patient, but it is cost effective.

As optometrists develop a consulting relationship with the clinic’s surgeons they get to know which surgeon is best suited to deal with their particular patient’s issues and needs. The Eye Center of Texas has three board certified ophthalmologists and five therapeutic optometrists. There are offices in Bellaire, Pasadena, Sugarland, Katy, Clear Lake, and Southeast Memorial. As a secondary and tertiary eye care facility, the clinic provides medical and surgical care through a network of exceptionally well trained and highly qualified optometrists.

The clinic’s specialties are Lasik using a bladeless all laser procedure, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), cataract surgery with implants that correct for distance and near vision as well as correct astigmatism, comprehensive retina, cornea, strabismus, and oculoplastics surgery. An example is corneal implants for treating keratoconus. Previously the only way to retain sight in such cases was through a cornea transplant.

The Eye Center of Texas accepts most major medical insurance plans. The clinic works at having as broad a range of insurance plans as possible. Much of the treatment is covered by insurance, including Medicare. The clinic collects co-pay, Medicare, and deductible required by the insurance company at the patient’s visit. The co-management factor extends each optometrist’s and each doctor’s capabilities and capacities so that Texas eye patients have access to the broadest and most current expertise available.
