Research & Publications

Our LASIK surgeons have been honored for their achievements and contributions to the field of ophthalmology not only by their peers, but also by D Magazine, which conducts an annual poll of the best LASIK surgeons in Dallas. Our surgeons also serve as clinical professors at some of the top institutions in the nation. They have collectively published more than 150 articles and book excerpts on refractive surgery, eye diseases, and corneal transplants. 

Top Place to Work in Dallas

For 10 consecutive years,, Cornea Associates of Texas has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Places to Work by the Dallas Morning News. Back in the Top 10 this year, Cornea Associates has been ranked as high as the #1 Small Business and Dr. Gelender was recognized as one of the Top 3 CEOs. 

Like LASIK eye surgery, PRK (or photorefractive keratectomy) uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct refractive issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During PRK surgery, our surgeons will use a laser to remove tissue from the cornea, reducing refractive issues and improving your vision. Unlike LASIK surgery, PRK does not require a corneal flap and is a good option for patients who might not qualify for LASIK eye surgery because of thin corneas or irregular astigmatism. However, PRK requires a lengthier recovery time.

Corneal diseases or corneal irregularities can make it difficult to see and put your vision at risk. If you or a loved one are suffering from corneal disease or corneal abnormalities, our cornea specialists can provide advanced surgical care. Depending on your needs, our doctors can perform a corneal transplant, partial cornea transplant, corneal cross-linking, or place Intacs® corneal implants to help you overcome your vision issues and see clearly once again.
