Will I Have 20/20 Vision After LASIK Surgery?
One of the most common questions we get asked at the Eye Center of Texas is: Will LASIK give me 20/20?
Will LASIK give me 20/20?
It’s a great question, and the answer depends on your best correctable visual acuity. When you come in for your free LASIK evaluation we will gather data about your eyes including: visual acuity, refraction, measurement of current glasses, measurement of night time pupil size; measurement of corneal thickness, corneal topography and Wavefront analysis.

Based on your results, our doctors and staff will take as much time as necessary to help you understand your expectations and explain the risks and benefits of this amazing procedure.
Restoring 20/20 vision during LASIK surgery
Our Houston LASIK surgeons, Dr. Mayo and Dr. Wade only offer the IntraLase (blade-free) method for creating flaps in the superficial layers of the cornea. The IntraLase method is the safest and most precise way to make flaps in the cornea. Additionally, we only offer the Advanced CustomVue Wavefront-guided VISX excimer laser technology to reshape the underlying cornea. Your fingerprint is unique to you as your visual system is and the laser creates a custom fingerprint of your visual system.
The laser vision correction ablation automatically centers and automatically tracks the eye and shuts off automatically is there is movement. With iLASIK, there is iris registration. With iris registration, the laser looks at pinpoint areas of the iris and centers the laser vision correction on those specific areas. Bladeless Custom LASIK with iris registration is called ‘iLASIK’ and is the most progressive and advanced way to perform LASIK.
