At Vista Eye Associates, we provide comprehensive care to meet the vision needs of our patients. As an Optometrist, Dr. Patel offers pre- and post-operative care for patients undergoing LASIK eye surgery or other eye surgical procedures. Our goal is to help you obtain the clearest vision possible using advanced technologies.
Evaluation and Referral
LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery uses the latest advancements in technology to provide faster recovery times and precise results. LASIK surgery has been effective in treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye conditions. At Vista Eye Associates, we provide evaluations and referrals for patients interested in LASIK surgery. Dr. Patel performs a complete review of your patient history, as well as a full assessment of your eye health and vision. A current exam is important to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery and if there are any other factors that may affect your results. The history review enables our Optometrists to determine if your prescription is stable and if you are healthy enough to consider surgery.
Once Dr. Patel has performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a good candidate for LASIK, we will create an appointment for you at a LASIK surgery center. The center will perform advanced diagnostic testing and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. They will discuss all the various surgery options in detail with you. We will be in correspondence with the center regarding your evaluation and surgical determination. If you are considering LASIK surgery, call us at (817) 431-4100 to schedule a consultation.
Post-Operative Care
Once your surgery is scheduled, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you in our Keller office. Typically, you will begin these follow-ups the day after the surgery and continue at prearranged times over the following six months. After one year, a full exam is recommended to determine the long-term results of your procedure. Dr. Patel is experienced in working with patients pre- and post-operation and will answer any questions that you have along the way. If you have questions about LASIK surgery, call (817) 431-4100 to speak with our knowledgeable staff or email us.
Advantages of LASIK
If you have worn glasses or contact lenses for a long time, you may have wondered if LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. While not everyone is a candidate for LASIK, it does have some great advantages. People who play sports, have allergies, or who are looking for simplicity, will all benefit from LASIK. To learn more about LASIK and your vision, call Vista Eye Associates today at (817) 431-4100.
