Dallas/Fort Worth ✪ Healthcare Profiles
When you are considering refractive surgery,
you want an eye surgeon with an intimate
understanding of the procedure and technology
involved. Dr. Gary Tylock, credited with
advancing the science of excimer lasers, is just
such a surgeon.
Earlier lasers created small central areas
of under treatment called islands during the
procedure. These small “islands” of corneal
tissue could take months to even out for
stabilized vision.
In the late 1990s, Dr. Tylock worked with a
team of engineers to build a more precise laser
system that eliminated those central islands
and helped establish LASIK as the
procedure of choice for correcting
refractive error.
Nearly twenty years later,
Dr. Tylock remains on the leading
edge of vision correction technology.
His practice was the first in Texas to
install the Alcon Surgical WaveLight®
Refractive Suite, which features one
laser to create a “flap” and a second
laser to reshape the inner tissue. These
lasers are more precise, require shorter
surgical time than previous versions,
and are physically oriented so patients
do not have to move from one laser to
another for treatment.
“I am dedicated to this
technology,” says Dr. Tylock, “and
I am even more dedicated to my
patients. I take a personal interest
in providing patients with their best
possible results, whether that means
LASIK, PRK, or refractive lens
replacement.”
Specialized Choices
Dr. Tylock is also an expert in cataract
surgery and refractive lensectomy.
“I spent 20 years as a
clinical professor training other
ophthalmologists to perform cataract
surgery,” informs Dr. Tylock. “I have
performed these surgeries myself for
over 25 years.”

cataracts or refractive error,
Dr. Tylock offers the full range of
options for helping patients reduce
reliance on glasses and contact lenses.
“Some patients are well-served
by conventional lens implants,” he
says, “but we also offer advanced
technology lenses like Crystalens®,
ReSTOR® Multifocal, and
TECNIS® Multifocal IOLs, as well
as toric implants for patients with
astigmatism.”
Tylock Eye Care & Laser Center is
one of three designated visitation
sites in the country where
ophthalmologists travel to observe
and learn more about this cuttingedge technology.

official LASIK
provider of the Texas
