Advanced Cataract Surgery Options
Patients now have a choice in the type of implant used in their cataract surgery. We are proud to offer the latest options available: Crystalens, ReSTOR, and the Acrysof Toric implant. The lifestyle lenses are designed to reduce your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery...up close, far away, and everything in between! Our surgeons and staff members will help you decide which impant is right for you, based on your lifestyle needs and your expectations. If it is time for cataract treatment, ask our staff for more information and find out about your options.
LASIK Meets Expectations
What do our LASIK patients have to say? All of our LASIK patients are asked to complete a survey after their procedure. Out of all of the surveys submitted to our office, 100% of them indicated that they would recommend our office to their friends or family members who are interested in LASIK. Furthermore, we received "excellent" ratings in the following categories: "Expertise of the doctor/staff", "Overall atmosphere of the office", and "Surgical experience met your expectations". We consider it a privilege to have patients trust their vision to our practice. If you would like more information on LASIK, contact our Rockwall office at 972-771-2020 or our Greenville location at 903-455-4824.
