Cutting-Edge Vision Correction Procedures at Our Ophthalmology Clinic

If you want to improve your vision and see more clearly, you have many treatment options. However, not every provider offers the same advanced options. At Heart of Texas Eye Care, our ophthalmology clinic specializes in cutting-edge procedures that dramatically improve your vision with less recovery time and faster results than older methods. 

What is Ophthalmology?

While there are several types of eye and vision specialists, ophthalmologists are the only ones with a medical degree. In addition to being a medical doctor, they have advanced training and specialization in eye conditions and procedures. Some choose to provide general care, while others focus on areas like vision correction. Ophthalmologists are the only eye specialists who can perform eye surgery.

Cutting-Edge Vision Correction Procedures at Our Ophthalmology Clinic

Heart of Texas Eye Care’s ophthalmology clinic is staffed by a full team of eye specialists. We pride ourselves on offering the most advanced treatment options so you can achieve your best results. The right choice for you depends on many factors that your ophthalmologists will assess. 

Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery uses a laser to change the shape of your cornea to correct your vision. While the most famous type of laser eye surgery is LASIK, a procedure called LALEX (SMILE) offers a shorter recovery time and can treat people that LASIK cannot. SMILE uses a smaller incision, allowing your cornea to heal more quickly and with more stability. Your eye surgeon will determine which type of laser eye surgery to recommend. 

IntraCameral Lens

For individuals looking for a procedure that provides almost immediate improvement without changing the shape of your cornea. Your eye surgeon places an implantable collamer lens behind the iris, the colored part of your eye, where it rests securely without being visible. This lens focuses light on the retina for a sharp, clear image, and the procedure can be reversed by your eye surgeon. 

Refractive Lens Exchange

If you are over 40, you most likely have dysfunctional lens syndrome, a series of age-related changes that affect the clarity and flexibility of your natural lenses. Refractive lens exchange, also known as clear lens replacement, replaces your natural lenses with artificial ones that will never develop cataracts and can last a lifetime. It may also be an excellent option if you cannot have laser eye surgery.

Am I a Good Candidate for Vision Correction Procedures?

With our range of advanced options, almost anyone can benefit from a vision correction procedure. Which procedure is right for you depends on many factors, including your age, the type of vision issue you have, and your overall eye health. During your consultation and eye exam, your eye surgeon will discuss your options and help choose the one that best suits your needs.
