In this post, our San Antonio surgeons review the differences between LASIK and contact lenses.

Dan Castillo suffered an accident during his military career that left him paralyzed.  Mr. Castillo has proven to the world that he may be paralyzed physically, but not emotionally.  His physical achievements and more than that, his positive outlook are an inspiration to all of us who take our limbs for granted.  We are so proud to have Mr. Castillo as a patient and are honored he chose us to perform his PRK surgery. 

Mr. Castillo will be attending the National Wheelchair Games, we wish you the best of luck!

At South Texas Eye Institute in San Antonio, we offer mono and multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) for the treatment of cataracts and presbyopia.

While LASIK is a safe and highly effective procedure, some of our San Antonio patients may develop dry eye after undergoing laser vision correction treatment.

We have started the long awaited remodeling project to add a few rooms to our clinic and make our space more efficient and more beautiful! 

The first stage of the project is to move our dilation waiting room to the breakroom, and the breakroom into another space in the back.  Along with this stage, we are remodeling the staff restrooms.

The second stage will be to add two testing rooms, and adding 3 fully-equiped new exam lanes.  The minor procedure room will be remodeled as well.

The third stage will be enlarging the front waiting room and moving the optical into a new space. 

All these changes will take a few months to finish, but will look great when we are finished. Stay tuned for upcoming photos.
