Advancing The Art of Eye Care In The Rio Grande Valley
Selecting a surgeon for your LASIK eye surgery is a very important decision that will ultimately affect your vision for the remainder of your life. It is important to discuss your personal situation with a qualified ophthalmologist and ask your questions directly to the ophthalmologist if possible. Choosing a surgeon that has high quality and safety standards can often reduce unnecessary surgical risk. Experience with LASIK eye surgery is also a very important factor when selecting your surgeon.
Thurmond Eye Associates has a rich tradition of eye care excellence in the Valley. We also have a proud tradition of pioneering new vision correction technology. Like being the first practice to introduce LenSx laser cataract surgery to the Valley. We were also the first practice in the Valley to introduce Contoura Vision LASIK at our state-of-the-art laser center in Edinburg.
What Our Patients Say
Laser Vision Correction Options
LASIK
LASIK is a laser vision correction procedure that can treat myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. LASIK is accurate, safe, and has a very short recovery time with minimal discomfort.
PRK
PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is another laser vision procedure that provides the same visual outcome as LASIK but only using one laser versus two. PRK is a great option for those with thin corneas or those who participate in high contact sports such as MMA.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) acts as an internal contact lens, providing immediate vision correction. It is best suited for people with moderate to severe nearsightedness and is a great alternative to LASIK, often producing visual results that are even better than traditional glasses or contacts.
RLE
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) removes the eye’s natural crystalline lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Having RLE surgery before a cataract fully develops means you will never need cataract surgery later in life. The clear vision you receive after your RLE surgery will be the vision you have for the rest of your life.
RSC
Refractive Cataract Surgery (RCS) also removes the eye’s natural crystalline lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Technology of the IOL's have improved greatly over the years. Giving patients the ability to zoom in and out therefore reducing their needs for glasses or contacts.
