LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedure uses blade-free Wavelight technology to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients achieve 20/40 vision or better in FDA trials, with most requiring no glasses post-surgery. The 15-minute procedure involves numbing drops and a femtosecond laser for precise corneal flap creation.
Cataract Surgery
We perform advanced femtosecond laser cataract surgery, replacing cloudy lenses with premium implants like PanOptix or TECNIS. This outpatient procedure restores clarity by removing clouded lenses and implanting multifocal or toric lenses, reducing dependence on glasses while improving color perception and night vision.
Cosmetic Procedures
Our cosmetic services include blepharoplasty for sagging eyelids and laser skin resurfacing for texture improvement. These treatments enhance appearance while addressing functional issues like vision obstruction, combining aesthetic goals with medical necessity for natural-looking results.
Dry Eye Treatment
The Dry Eye and Allergy Treatment Center addresses chronic dryness and irritation through advanced diagnostics and personalized therapies. Treatments include prescription drops, punctal plugs, and lifestyle adjustments to improve tear production and ocular surface health for long-term comfort.
Optical Services
Our optical centers in Dallas, Plano, and Arlington offer comprehensive eyewear solutions, including designer frames and precision lenses. Patients receive expert guidance on lens options like progressive bifocals and anti-reflective coatings, ensuring optimal visual clarity paired with their corrective prescriptions.

If the front desk is the gateway to getting in, I can only imagine how the appointment will go. In trying to make an appointment for an 86 year old woman. I could not get more resistance and down right unhelpful interactions with the appointment desk. Valerie was so rude to my mother in law that I had to take over. Trying to work with her myself was discouraging. Unhelpful, rude, and resistant to helping in any way.
If my mother in law wasn't set on seeing the doctor she saw before out of familiarity, I would move on without hesitation. This entire interaction has been what customer service and professionalism should NOT look like.

Surgery unsuccessful. Going elsewhere for 2nd eye and to correct 1st eye fogginess. Staff rude and clueless. It was a surreal experience. It is a money-making business without concern for patients' welfare. The business of four patients was lost today and any future referrals, but when you put the unqualified payment clerk in charge of your medical practice, what else can you expect?

I was very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the thoroughness of my eye exam when I was having problems. The nurse took her time and explained everything. Dr. Fish was clear in his explanations and at no time did I feel uncomfortable. After the nurse, he did his own exam and then immediately referred me to a specialist at the Texas Retina Center. I did not have the impression expressed by others about pressure to upsell or the incidence of insurance fraud.
My final bill was less than what I was quoted at the beginning. I felt that they put the health of the consumer first and that is important. I would return here again but hopefully I won't have to.
