Eye Surgery

We work with many excellent ophthalmologists (eye surgeons) in the Dallas area and can provide recommendations depending on what care is needed. Most of the ophthalmologists we work with co-manage with our doctors. That means the surgeon performs the necessary procedure and you come back to Marshall Eye Care for your post-operative care. Whether you require a refractive procedure (LASIK, PRK), cataract surgery, cornea transplant, a laser treatment for glaucoma, an injection to halt macular degeneration or laser surgery to repair a retinal hole or tear, our doctors will send you to the right surgeon for your specific need. 

LASIK

LASIK (laser assisted in situ keratomileusis) surgery uses that 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 Marshall Eye Care, we provide evaluations and referrals for patients interested in LASIK surgery. Our doctors perform 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 determining 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 you are healthy enough to consider surgery. 

Once the doctor has performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a candidate for LASIK, you will be given a referral to the ophthalmologists we work with on an on-going basis. The ophthalmologist will perform advanced diagnostic testing and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. Various surgery options will be discussed with you if you are determined to be a surgical candidate. We will be in correspondence with the ophthalmology office regarding your evaluation and surgical determination. 

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. 

If you are considering LASIK surgery, call us at 972-250-2020 to schedule a consultation.

Cataract Surgery

Cataracts occur when proteins build up on the lens of the eye, causing cloudy or blurry visionCataracts are common in individuals over the age of 50. Thankfully with cataract surgery, your vision can be restored. We work with several Dallas area ophthalmologists to provide you the best possible outcome with cataract surgery.

Signs You Have Cataracts

• You see glare or halos around lights, especially at night
• You are having increasing difficulty seeing at night when you drive
• You can no longer see well enough to read or watch TV
• Colors appear faded and/or you have noticed blurry vision 

Good Candidates for Cataract Surgery

Having a routine eye exam allows us to determine if you would be a good candidate for cataract surgery. If cataracts are causing significant vision loss, your doctor will likely refer you to an ophthalmologist we work with regularly. We will be in correspondence with the ophthalmology office regarding your evaluation and surgical determination. 

Post-Operative Care

Once your surgery is scheduled, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you at our office. Typically, this will occur 1 week after surgery and will continue at pre-arranged times over the following 3 months. Our doctors are experienced in working with patients pre- and post-operation and will answer any questions that you have along the way.
