The Search Begins

Posted by Tom in Blog.

Hello Dallas, Texas! Welcome to the launch of Dallas Eye Surgery. Since I was a junior in high school in Addison, I have had to wear glasses and contacts. I finally have decided to take the plunge to put my eyes under the “knife”.

However, as I started to research Lasik, I realized there are a lot more options out there; Lasik, PRK, Intra-Lasik, Epi-LASIK and more. Being a stickler for research, I thought I would start this site to share what I have learned.

In the coming months I am looking forward to analyzing the pros and cons of each of the procedures. If you are looking to the laser for better eye sight, I hope this saves you some time in your research.

Note: I am not a doctor, just an average joe with poor eye sight. Do not take any of my advice as a qualified medial opinion, just an average joe’s option. Make sure to do your own additional research and consult your doctor before undergoing any medical procedure.
