Dallas-Fort Worth Top LASIK Surgeon

Revolutionizing LASIK: Dr. Tylock’s Pioneering Excimer Laser System

Dr. Tylock built one of the first excimer laser systems ever used in the United States designed specifically for LASIK vision correction treatments. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Dr. Tylock an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for his “Tylock Excimer Laser System”. His unique excimer laser treated astigmatism and higher degrees of near-sightedness than the FDA had previously approved. His studies with the FDA demonstrated the safety and efficacy of these treatments. This information along with other studies provided a path forward for FDA approval for these higher degrees of nearsightedness and astigmatism treatments.

Texas’s Pioneer in Advanced IntraLASIK Technology for Enhanced Vision Correction

Dr. Tylock was the first in Texas to use the Allegretto Wavelight Refractive Suite, which combined the FS 200 Femtosecond Laser to make the IntraLASIK flap and the EX500 excimer laser, the most advanced technology at the time, to gently reshape the cornea correcting near sightedness and astigmatism.

Achieving Unprecedented Clarity: The Impact of Contoura® Vision for Exceptional Visual Outcomes

Contoura® Vision was a welcomed technological addition to the Allegretto Wavelight Refractive Suite which based its treatment on the measurement of approximately 22,000 points on everyone’s corneal surface. This 22,000-point measurement allowed for the most precise treatments ever for each patient’s eye irregularities often referred to as higher order aberrations. In patients having Contoura Vision, 64% achieved 20/16 vision or better, meaning they can see better than those with 20/20 vision.   Tylock Eye Care and Laser Center was one of three training centers in the United States where ophthalmologists and their staff would visit and learn more about this state-of-the-art technology. At the time of Dr. Tylock’s retirement, he had performed more Contoura®   Vision treatments than any other ophthalmologist in the country.
