All Procedures We Perform

Every procedure below has its own dedicated page covering candidacy, preparation, what to expect, and recovery. The three groupings are the same ones used in our site navigation: cataract and lens work, treatment of eye conditions, and in-office laser procedures.

Cataract Surgery and Lens Implants

  • Cataract Surgery - the clouded natural lens is removed with phacoemulsification through a microincision and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Monofocal, toric, multifocal, and Light Adjustable Lens options are available.
  • Light Adjustable Lens (RxSight LAL) - the only IOL whose power can be fine-tuned with UV light after cataract surgery, so the final prescription is set once your eye has actually healed rather than predicted beforehand.
  • YAG Capsulotomy - a painless in-office laser that opens a clear window in a capsule clouded by posterior capsular opacification (PCO), the usual reason vision fogs back up months or years after cataract surgery.

Eye Conditions and Treatments

  • Interventional Dry Eye Treatment - a detailed ocular surface evaluation identifies which subtypes of dry eye you have and how severe they are, and an individualized plan is built from there rather than stopping at over-the-counter drops.
  • OptiLight IPL Therapy - an in-office, drug-free intense pulsed light treatment for evaporative dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), performed with the OptiLight device by Lumenis.
  • Glaucoma Treatment - glaucoma damages the optic nerve from uncontrolled pressure inside the eye, and the damage cannot be reversed. Treatment aims to lower eye pressure and prevent further vision loss using drops, in-office laser, and surgical implants.
  • MIGS Glaucoma Surgery (iStent and Durysta) - micro-incision, micro-device procedures that lower intraocular pressure. iStent is placed during cataract surgery; Durysta is a sustained-release implant given as an in-office injection.
  • Pterygium Removal - a wedge-shaped growth that spreads from the white of the eye onto the cornea, often called "surfer's eye." Dr. Collett removes the growth and revitalizes the ocular surface using a regenerative amniograft for a lower recurrence rate.

In-Office Laser Procedures

  • Laser Eye Procedures - the index of laser treatments Dr. Collett performs at the Bellaire office, including SLT for glaucoma and YAG capsulotomy after cataract surgery.

Dr. Collett performs laser procedures on a weekly basis at our Bellaire office.

Insurance, Medicare, and Financing

Coverage depends on the procedure and your plan. The standard monofocal intraocular lens used in cataract surgery is covered by Medicare Part B and most commercial insurance. Premium intraocular lens upgrades, such as the Light Adjustable Lens, toric, and multifocal lenses, are not covered by insurance. Most Medicare plans and major commercial insurers cover MIGS when it is clinically indicated. For treatments and upgrades that are paid out of pocket, CareCredit is available. See our financing page for details, or read the guide on what cataract surgery costs in Houston.
