A Closer Look at LASIK Surgery
LASIK, formally known as laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is laser eye surgery performed to correct refractive errors that prevent your eyes from focusing correctly. Many people find they no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses after surgery. It uses Laser Vision Correction to fix:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Farsightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
Laser vision correction surgery involves creating a flap in the outermost corneal tissue (epithelium) and then reshaping the tissue underneath (stroma) to enhance your ability to focus.

They exceeded any expectations we might have. My adult child had a very high eye prescription and Dr. McCall performed Lasik and now my son can see 20/20. The office staff is kind and efficient. The doctor and his staff took their time to put us at ease. Professional, efficient and thorough. Highly recommend.

Is LASIK Safe?
Laser eye surgery is incredibly safe and today’s advanced technology has made it safer and more precise than ever before. According to the American Refractive Surgery Council, the LASIK procedure carries a less than one percent chance of surgical complications.
Of course, technology is just one part of refractive eye surgery. To reduce the chance of complications you will also want to choose a highly trained specialist in eye surgery.
The LASIK surgeons at Cornea Associates of Texas are highly skilled when it comes to using the advanced technology used in today's LASIK procedures. In fact, many of them participated in the original Food and Drug Administration (FDA) trials for using excimer lasers in eye surgeries.
Reach out to our team today to find out if this procedure is right for you.
Can LASIK Treat Presbyopia?
Because LASIK treats the cornea, it is not an effective treatment for presbyopia. Presbyopia is an age-related inability to focus on nearby objects due to a loss of flexibility in the crystalline lens, which is the disc of tissue that lies behind the cornea within the eye. During a consultation, we can identify your vision needs and recommend the most effective treatment for your needs.
Traditional vs. Custom LASIK Why Custom LASIK Provides Outstanding Results
Traditional LASIK
Traditional LASIK differs from custom LASIK largely in how precisely the amount of correction you need is determined and achieved. When it comes to traditional LASIK, it's like shoe sizes: Although you may actually be a size 9.987, you will likely purchase a size 10 because shoes aren't available in such exact sizes. Although this approach has helped many to experience profound benefits, it doesn't capture the tiny flaws in the cornea that lead to problems with halos, glare, night vision, and other higher-order aberrations.
Custom LASIK
In contrast, custom LASIK, also called iDesign LASIK, uses a detailed three-dimensional map of the corneal surface to identify precisely the amount of correction you need. Instead of having to correct your eye to the nearest available degree, custom iDesign LASIK can provide correction to virtually any degree. This digital map is as unique as your fingerprint and records both lower- and higher-order aberrations so they can be corrected during eye surgery.

When I couldn't come in because of the weather, I was given the first available appointment. I was lucky enough that someone else cancelled and came in the next day.

LASIK Surgery Produces Outstanding Results
*According to the American Refractive Surgery Council.
LASIK eye surgery has shown impressive success rates, and a vast majority of patients who have undergone LASIK are very satisfied with their results.
Requirements for Undergoing LASIK Surgery
Safety comes first at our practice serving Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano, TX. We perform rigorous screening of candidates to ensure that we accept only people who can expect good results. If you don't qualify for this procedure we may recommend a procedure better suited for you, such as PRK or placement of a phakic intraocular lens. Candidacy requirements include:
Because the eyes of younger patients are still changing, LASIK is only recommended for those who are 18 or older.
LASIK requires a tissue flap on the surface of the eye, so you need sufficient corneal thickness to qualify for surgery.
If you have corneal diseases, cataracts, glaucoma, or other ocular health concerns, you might not be a good candidate.
To undergo LASIK, your eyeglasses prescription should be stable. Otherwise, you might need to undergo additional touch-ups more frequently.
Having large pupils can increase your risk of post-surgical complications such as halos, poor night vision, or glare.
Because some diseases can affect candidacy, we will discuss your medical history with you to ensure that you are healthy enough for surgery.

What Are the Alternatives to LASIK?
PRK
Item Subtitle
If you don't qualify for LASIK, then PRK may be a better option to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Both methods alter the cornea to correct vision. However, in PRK, no flap is made. Instead, the epithelium is completely removed, and it regenerates after about three to four days.
Phakic IOLs
Item Subtitle
Some patients are not candidates for LASIK or PRK due to the severity of their nearsightedness. At Cornea Associates of Texas, our surgeons are proud to offer these patients an alternative: the phakic intraocular lens. These lenses are placed in front of your natural lens to correct your vision.

I felt very comfortable trusting my eyes to Dr. Nettune for my Lasik procedure. I had my pre-op done in the Plano office. The staff made me feel very comfortable and confident in their abilities. So happy to finally not have to depend on glasses or contact lenses :) I would recommend it to my friends, family or anyone else interested in having Lasik/PRK.
