Eye Centers of Southeast Texas Llp

I decided in Jan 2011 to put the contacts/​4-​eyed life behind me and get that ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision once again! Dr. Levacy was recommended by a family friend and the process from first meeting to getting new eyes was about 3 – 4 weeks. You will need to come in for a consultation and they’ll do some tests and take measurements of your eye, keep in mind you will need to wear glasses for 2-​weeks leading up to the consultation.
Sat down with the doc and he recommended a diff procedure called PRK instead of Lasik since my near-​blind eyes had different risk factors. I appreciated him listing the pros/​cons of the two procedures and ultimately letting me choose. We chose a date and I was pretty much on/​off the table within 30 minutes of arriving! My only gripe about after the procedure is that they mentioned that I would feel a bit «discomfort» in my eyes the day after and asked if I wanted a prescription for painkillers. I said no, please… I am no wimp! Holy Hell, this «discomfort» was more like the worst pink-​eye infection ever, hurt to open eyes — hurt to close them. Albeit, this is normal (for PRK) but I wish the word PAIN was used… not discomfort.
Nothing like a fresh new pair of eyes! Highly recommend Dr. Levacy and make sure to come into your appt. early cause you’ll be sitting for a looooooooooooong time.
