Setting the Standard in Refractive Surgery Management
California Ophthalmic Laser Associates medical group is a professional corporation ("Medical Group") that was formed in 1999 to provide refractive laser surgery services to patients in California. COLA, Inc is a non-professional corporation that provides administrative services to support co-management of surgical patients by optometrists and ophthalmologists. COLA, Inc. is thus an innovative company that fosters co-management of laser and surgical correction by participating with the Medical Group that contracts with surgeons.and primary eye care providers (PECP). COLA, Inc. also contracts with and offers access to its contracted surgery centers. Through these contractual relationships, COLA, Inc. has allowed PECP’s to maintain the continuity of care for their patients, while ensuring the quality of care for laser and refractive IOL surgery.
Currently, we have contractual agreements with primary eye care providers, surgeons and surgery centers throughout California.
Our Mission Statement
We strive to provide for our patients the highest quality in pre-operative and post-operative care by contracting with highly qualified and reputable surgeons and surgery centers throughout California.
We strive to provide our panel of doctors the information and marketing tools necessary to promote refractive and refractive implant surgery and importance of choosing highly qualified surgeons and surgery centers.
We continue to search for new affiliations in markets where we do not yet have representation. We want to ensure that all laser vision correction and refractive implant patients in California have the opportunity to choose from our list of primary eye care providers.
