Dr. Nisha Shah is one of Houston's only ophthalmologists with military refractive surgery experience. Blade-free, custom-wavefront LASIK performed by the surgeon who trained on the most demanding patients in medicine.
Not every eye is a LASIK candidate. Dr. Shah evaluates your corneal thickness, prescription, and pupil size to recommend the procedure that delivers the best outcome for you specifically.
Blade-free, all-laser procedure. A thin corneal flap is created with a femtosecond laser, then an excimer laser reshapes the underlying tissue. Fast recovery, minimal discomfort, excellent outcomes for most prescriptions.
Photorefractive Keratectomy — no flap is created. The surface epithelium is gently removed and the excimer laser is applied directly. Slightly longer recovery but excellent long-term outcomes, especially for athletes or patients with thin corneas.
Implantable Collamer Lens — a tiny lens is implanted behind the iris without removing corneal tissue. Ideal for patients with extreme nearsightedness or those who are not LASIK/PRK candidates. Reversible procedure.
The natural crystalline lens is replaced with a premium IOL — eliminating glasses dependence and preventing future cataracts simultaneously. The preferred option for patients over 45 with moderate to high prescriptions.
