Dr. Wade has done more eye surgery on Houston Eye Doctors, their families and their patients than any other surgeon. Over 200 Eye doctors in the Houston area refer their patients, their family members, and indeed themselves to Dr. Wade and Dr. Mayo for Lasik surgery.

They have performed over 50,000 cataract surgeries and 40,000 Lasik procedures. Both Dr. Wade and Dr. Mayo graduated #1 in their medical school classes and were both named Chief Residents at their respective residency programs - Baylor College of Medicine and Willis Eye Infirmary. Both doctors are also Board-Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and are 100% committed to offering the latest technology for the safest and best possible visual results to all of their patients.

It is also important to choose a Lasik surgeon that not ONLY does Lasik but offers a full scope of surgical vision correction. Not everyone is a Lasik candidate so at the Eye Center of Texas we have a variety of procedures that may suit individual patients better.

For instance, Dr Wade and Dr. Mayo offer PRK and HD Visian ICL (view videos and read more here) for Lasik non-candidates. Restor lens implants are best for people who need both distance and near vision, including those over the age of 45 who have problems reading without glasses. Dr. Wade has performed more Restor lens surgery than any surgeon in Houston. It is important to choose a surgeon who is well trained and experienced in all the available procedures.

Not all LASIK surgeons have the same skill level or experience. Whether you select Dr. Wade and Mayo or another doctor, candidates should evaluate the following before proceeding with LASIK surgery:

1. Is your surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology? Board-certified doctors have undergone additional training and testing. Click here for list of ABO certified doctors: http://www.abms.org/Who_We_Help/Consumers/
   

2. Has the FDA, which approves all procedures, hand selected your surgeon to be a part of its clinical trials?
   

3. Does your LASIK surgeon have experience treating challenging or complicated cases?
   

4. Is your LASIK surgeon responsive to your questions prior to surgery, and does he provide a realistic assessment of your potential based on your lifestyle needs?
   

5. What is your LASIK surgeon’s safety record?
   

6. What is your LASIK surgeon’s enhancement rate?
   

7. How many LASIK procedures has your surgeon performed in his/her entire career?
