Support for Vision Correction Surgery in Southlake
If you’re thinking about correcting your vision with LASIK or another type of eye surgery, you don’t have to figure it out alone. North Texas Eye Care can help guide you through the steps—from deciding if surgery is right for you to caring for your eyes once it’s done. We’ll help you understand your options, connect you with a trusted surgeon, and ensure your eyes stay healthy.
What Is Refractive Surgery?
Refractive surgery is a category of procedures that correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. If you’ve relied on glasses or contact lenses for most of your life, this surgery can be a game-changer.
Types of Vision Correction Surgery
Depending on your eyes and lifestyle, your eye doctor might recommend any of the following:
- LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): This is the most well-known surgery. A thin flap is created on your cornea's surface, which is lifted so a laser can reshape the underlying tissue.
- PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy): This was the original laser eye surgery and is still an excellent choice for many patients. Instead of creating a flap like LASIK, PRK removes the cornea's outer layer entirely.
- SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A newer, minimally invasive procedure, SMILE uses a laser to create a tiny disc of tissue inside the cornea, which is removed through a small incision. This reshapes the cornea without needing to create a large flap.
North Texas Eye Care’s Role in Your Surgery
Our role is simple: we’re your home base. Before the surgery, we’ll:
- Perform a thorough eye exam to help determine if you’re a candidate.
- Talk you through the different surgical options in plain, clear terms.
- Refer you to a skilled local ophthalmologist we trust.
- Make sure you understand what to expect and feel confident.
But our care doesn’t stop there. After your surgery, we’ll:
- Handle your follow-up care right here in our Southlake office.
- Monitor your healing and answer any post-op questions you have.
- Track your vision and comfort over time to ensure everything stays on track.
Your surgeon may only see you a few times, but we’re the ones you can turn to when you need answers, reassurance, or long-term vision support.
Is Vision Correction Surgery Right for You?
If you're tired of glasses fogging up or juggling contact lenses, you’re not alone. Many of our patients, especially active adults, professionals, and parents, ask us if there’s a better way to manage their vision. Refractive surgery might be the right fit if:
- You're in good general health
- Your prescription is stable
- You want more visual freedom in your day-to-day life
Not sure if you're a candidate? That's exactly what we’re here for. We'll walk you through it; no pressure, just honest guidance you can trust.
