  • Houston LASIK LASIK eye surgery, using Intralase, (sometimes called IntraLASIK), has been performed by Dr. Slade and his staff longer than any other eye care practice in the United States and Houston, Texas. In fact, we have the Nation's longest experience with the laser keratome since 1998. In regular LASIK, a blade is used to make the flap. With IntraLASIK, a laser does this step. For many patients it may be the best choice. In addition, the laser microkeratome offers unique safety factors. The Intralase technique uses a laser to precisely, more safely create the LASIK flap. If you are seeking LASIK in Houston, Texas, why not choose the most experienced surgeon with the safest LASIK technology available.
