In my plastic surgery practice at Fulcrum, I frequently cross-collaborate with optometry during preoperative planning for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). By involving an optometrist, I am able to comprehensively assess a patient's visual function and eye health, ensuring that any pre-existing conditions are identified and considered in the surgical plan. This proactive approach prevents postoperative complications and optimizes the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the surgery, demonstrating the value of interdisciplinary teamwork in specialized healthcare settings.
