Treatment and Service Offerings
Refractive Vision Correction
All-Laser LASIK: performs highly customized laser vision correction with femtosecond and excimer lasers.
SMILE LASIK: performs flapless corneal reshaping through a small incision with reduced dry-eye risk and faster healing emphasis.
EVO ICL: performs implantable collamer lens correction for patients with high myopia, thin corneas, or LASIK ineligibility.
ASA / Advanced PRK: performs surface-based laser vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism when LASIK is not ideal.
Lens-Based and Cataract Procedures
Custom Lens Replacement: performs refractive lens exchange with premium IOL selection for adults 40+ with presbyopia or reading-vision decline.
Premium Cataract Surgery: performs cataract treatment with premium lens options aimed at clearer vision and lower glasses dependence.
Glaucoma and Pressure Management
MIGS portfolio: performs iStent, iDose, Hydrus Microstent, canaloplasty, goniotomy, and Durysta implantation for glaucoma or ocular-hypertension management.
iStent pathway: manages glaucoma with device-based pressure reduction that may be combined with cataract surgery.
Canaloplasty pathway: manages open-angle glaucoma by enlarging the natural drainage canal without a permanent implant.
Durysta and iDose options: manage intraocular pressure with sustained-release implant approaches that reduce reliance on daily drops.
Corneal and Ocular Surface Care
IPL dry eye therapy: treats dry eye disease, especially meibomian gland dysfunction, with light-based therapy around the eyelids.
Pterygium surgery: performs outpatient removal of non-cancerous surface growths with grafting intended to lower recurrence risk.
Corneal cross-linking: treats progressive keratoconus with corneal-stabilization therapy aimed at preventing worsening and reducing transplant risk.
Diagnostics, Planning, and Support
Diagnostic workup: provides advanced imaging, eye mapping, glaucoma assessment, and candidacy testing before procedure selection.
Perioperative support: provides follow-up care, patient forms, records-release resources, and insurance/financing guidance.
Proprietary Techniques & Treatment Protocols
20/Happy Patient Guarantee: branded elective-vision-correction guarantee tied to qualifying LASIK, ICL, and CLR cases, with follow-up compliance and free-enhancement language built into eligibility.
Personalized planning protocol: individualized treatment selection based on goals, diagnostic findings, corneal measurements, and candidacy rather than a one-procedure-fits-all model.
Lifestyle-based lens selection: custom lens replacement planning aligned to daily activities, hobbies, and visual priorities.
Lifetime-care framework: ongoing support and follow-up positioned as part of the procedure investment.
One-stop surgical workflow: consultation, imaging, treatment planning, procedure, and aftercare presented as a single integrated patient journey.
Community-giving model: one-for-one style initiative stating that each paying Plano patient helps fund sight-restoring surgery for someone in need.
