How it works

Co-management, step by step.

Co-management means the surgery happens at a surgical center — and everything before and after happens with the doctor who already knows your eyes.

1

Candidacy exam

Prescription stability, corneal health, dry eye, and your visual goals — evaluated honestly, in Green Bay.

2

Referral

If you're a good candidate, you're referred to a trusted refractive surgeon, with your records and findings sent ahead.

3

Surgery day

The procedure itself takes place at the surgeon's center — typically minutes per eye.

4

Follow-ups at home

Your post-operative checks happen back at Green Bay Eye Care — no long drives for a ten-minute visit.

The honest part

Not every eye should have LASIK.

Good LASIK outcomes start with good patient selection. A prescription that's still changing, a cornea that's too thin or irregularly shaped, significant dry eye, or expectations the procedure can't meet — any of these is a reason to pause, and a careful evaluation is where they surface.

If LASIK isn't right for your eyes, you'll hear that plainly — along with what might be: other refractive procedures such as PRK suit some eyes LASIK doesn't, and modern contact lens options solve many of the same problems without surgery.

The best LASIK outcome starts with the right candidate.

Why co-manage locally

Surgery there. Care here.

The weeks around LASIK involve multiple visits — and almost all of them are exams, not surgery. Co-managing with a local optometrist means those visits happen minutes from home, with a doctor who has your full history.

Your baseline on file

Years of exams and retinal imaging mean your healing is compared against your eyes — not a stranger's chart.

Close to home

Day-after, week, and month checks at the Green Bay office instead of repeated trips to a surgical center.

One familiar doctor

The optometrist watching your recovery is the same one you'll see for every exam after — continuity surgery centers can't offer.

No sales pressure

Dr. Gospodarek has no laser to fill a schedule for. The recommendation you get is the one your eyes deserve.

Common questions

LASIK questions, answered.

Do you perform the surgery here?

No — the procedure is performed by a refractive surgeon at a surgical center. Dr. Gospodarek evaluates your candidacy, refers you to a trusted surgeon, and handles your pre- and post-op care in Green Bay.

Am I a candidate?

It depends on your prescription and its stability, corneal thickness and shape, eye health — including dry eye — and your age and goals. A candidacy exam answers it for your eyes specifically. Not everyone is a candidate, and hearing that up front is part of the service.

Will LASIK eliminate reading glasses?

LASIK corrects distance vision. It doesn't stop presbyopia — the age-related change that brings reading glasses in the mid-forties. Some patients consider monovision approaches; the trade-offs get discussed honestly at your evaluation.

What if I'm not a candidate?

There are alternatives — procedures like PRK suit some eyes LASIK doesn't, and multifocal or specialty contact lenses solve many of the same problems without surgery. The evaluation covers what actually fits your eyes.

Is LASIK covered by insurance?

It's generally considered elective, so most plans don't cover it. The surgical center goes over its own pricing and financing; your evaluation and follow-up care here are separate from the surgeon's fees.
