Services
LASIK Surgery
Our LASIK procedures utilize advanced excimer lasers to permanently reshape the cornea, correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Patients benefit from reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses through this FDA-approved outpatient surgery. Our surgeons customize treatment plans using wavefront technology for optimal visual outcomes.
Cataract Surgery
We specialize in full focus cataract surgery using premium intraocular lenses like Crystalens and ReSTOR. Our surgeons replace clouded natural lenses with advanced implants that correct vision at multiple distances, often eliminating the need for post-surgery glasses.
Glaucoma Treatment
Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes early detection through visual field testing and OCT imaging. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to minimally invasive surgical procedures like selective laser trabeculoplasty, all aimed at preserving optic nerve health.
Eye Exams
We provide complete eye health assessments using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. These exams detect refractive errors, monitor ocular health, and identify systemic conditions that manifest in eye changes, ensuring early intervention when needed.
Retina Care
Our retina specialists manage complex conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Using advanced imaging and treatment modalities, we preserve vision through timely interventions including anti-VEGF injections and laser photocoagulation therapies.

Both my wife and I had lens replacement surgery in late March 2022 and early April. My experience was first rate. The pre op nurse, Ann was excellent, the anesthesiologist was awesome and helped with the neck strain I have so I was comfortable. This was a 4 day procedure. Left eye post op right eye post op again. All had minimal waits and and were well explained. Most importantly Dr. WALTERS is s awesome and the surgery was flawless.
After 25 years of increasing strength glasses I can see all distances with no problems. As was explained I do see halos around headlights at nice but that is a minor issue. I wouldn't go anywhere else @

Jeffrey R. Lane had my son's eyes dilated PRIOR to doing his vision test. Then, while answering all of the questions "1 or 2? 3 or 4?" his vision was distorted due to the dilation. As a result, the Rx for his glasses was way off. My son, never having had his eyes dilated before did not think this was right, but didn't question it - had glasses filled elsewhere, and now cannot see from this bad prescription.
When we went back to ask for a new exam, Dr. Lane became snippy with him and told him it was basically right. (THEN WHY CAN'T HE SEE? Isn't that the main point of getting a new Rx?) The practice may be okay, but this man needs to learn to admit to mistakes - we all make them. But now my son does not want to step foot in there again, so we are having to pay for an entirely new exam elsewhere. Shame on you "Dr." Lane!

I had a really positive experience with Texan Eye. Dr. Derham was very caring and genuine in solving my eye issues. I would highly recommend Texan Eye to friends and family.
