LASIK Surgery
LASIK surgery at Texas Regional Eye Center uses blade-free laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeons create a precise corneal flap and reshape underlying tissue for improved vision. Patients often achieve independence from glasses or contacts with this customized procedure.
Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes cloudy lenses and implants premium intraocular lenses like multifocal and Light Adjustable options. Using robotic laser precision, we address astigmatism and reduce post-surgery dependency on glasses while ensuring faster recovery in our on-site surgical center.
General Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams assess vision needs and detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Our optometrists perform refractions, dilated exams, and specialized testing to maintain ocular health and update corrective lens prescriptions.
Dry Eye Treatment
We diagnose and treat chronic dry eye using advanced therapies like punctal plugs, prescription medications, and in-office procedures. Our approach targets the root cause of dryness to improve comfort and protect long-term eye health for patients experiencing irritation or blurred vision.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL provides a permanent vision correction alternative for patients unsuitable for LASIK. This implantable collamer lens works with natural eye anatomy to correct myopia without removing corneal tissue, offering excellent visual quality and reversibility if needed.

I rarely stop and take the time to write a review of a local business, but my experience at Texas Regional Eye Center was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Bill Riggs performed cataract surgery on both eyes and I see like I did in my late teens. Dr. Riggs and each member of his staff are true professionals. They were all attentive, caring and did their work with smiles. I doesn't hurt that the results are spectacular. We are very fortunate to have Texas Regional Eye Center here in the Brazos Valley!

I could not be happier with my Lasik results! The whole staff at Texas Regional was wonderful! Special shout-out to Dr. Riggs and Bonnie! They made the process so easy! Dr. Riggs is super easy going and definitely makes you feel at ease! Highly recommend and wish I would have gotten it done sooner! Painless with great results immediately!

Report
A friend recommended me to Dr. Allison because I was having problems with double vision and extremely poor distance vision. Dr. Allison listened to me and tested my eyes twice to make sure he got things right. He significantly changed my prescription, and it is like getting glasses for the first time again. I am amazed at how well I can see now; and no more double vision! I really thought that my eyes were just getting to the point that they could not be corrected, but now I know that it was just the prescription that was bad. Thank you so much Dr. Allison!

I had surgery on both eyes, Dr. Varvel and his staff were great to work with. I was apprehensive about ocular implants, but I now have 20/20 vision and could not be more thrilled with the outcome. The results were immediate and spectacular! I recommend giving yourself the gift of sight, you don't fully understand how you gradually lose your vision until it is restored. TREC are great.

Report
Dr. Bill Riggs, my new hero. Saw me between patients to tend to a metal fragment from my left eye which has been there for 6 days, causing discomfort, pain, watering, and loss of sleep. Primary Care Physician did not find the fragment and recommended I see an eye doctor. Could not get an appointment for over a week away at local eye clinic. TREC offered same day or next morning. The wizard of eyes saw me between patents. In by 9, out by 9:30. Instant relief. Thanks Doc Riggs and shame on Berkley Eye Clinic in Huntsville. Have been Dr. Perkins patent for 16 years to whom I wish a wonderful retirement.
