The South Texas Eye Institute Difference for San Antonio Refractive Surgery

South Texas Eye Institute (STEI) is the leader in laser vision correction. We began performing refractive surgery in the 1980's, were first to perform laser vision correction in San Antonio and we offer IntraLase®, the blade-free LASIK procedure to our patients.

We believe in constant and never ending improvement in the pursuit of providing our patients with a lifetime of truly outstanding eye care.

Your laser evaluation is performed by our expert laser team including the doctor who will perform your surgery. During your exam, you and your surgeon will discuss and determine the procedure for your unique eyes.

Of course, we have the absolute best in technology. South Texas Eye Institute utilizes IntraLase®, the blade-free procedure which is more precise, safer and predictable than the old technology of a blade (microkeratome) that is used by many laser centers because of cost. Combined with the VISX S4 Laser, this provides our patients the #1 laser system in the United States.

There are no hidden costs or fees. The evaluation, procedure and post operative care for a year are all included. If you currently see an optometrist, we are happy to co-manage care with your doctor.

Our focus is medicine and not the business of laser centers. We provide laser vision correction exams and procedures every day. We do not allow medical decisions to be influenced by cost. LASIK is a surgical procedure and not a "fast and easy fix". In the event of a complication, our expert physicians are able to diagnose and treat any possible situation in the correct manner. Our doctors are not just available the day of your procedure but always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

South Texas Eye Institute has been San Antonio's leading eye care center since 1988 providing leading edge technology and care for you and your family. We will be here for the lifetime of your eye care.

Why STEI?

At South Texas Eye Institute, we understand that no two patients are exactly alike and neither are their eyes. That's why we offer Customvue WaveScan, the personalized LASIK blueprint™ approach, tailored specifically to your eyes.

Your personalized procedure begins with a careful exam to ensure that you are a good candidate for successful LASIK surgery. The doctor who will perform the laser procedure performs this custom exam. In addition, to ensure the most accurate eye assessment we will:

  • Analyze and map out the unique characteristics of your eye with Personalized LASIK Wavescan.
  • Utilize our VISX Star S4™ Smoothscan Laser with ActiveTrack© specifically follows the unique movements of your eye during the surgery.
  • Variable laser beam shaping customizes the procedure for your pupil size and enables even patients with large pupils to have successful LASIK surgery.

The most important reason for the high level of patient satisfaction at South Texas Eye Institute is the surgical skills of our LASIK surgeons. They have performed thousands of procedures on patients around the world with outstanding results! STEI is committed to patient care and to staying at the forefront of all eye care. Providing Excellence in Vision to San Antonio for 20 years.
