Why Frisco patients look beyond LASIK

You did the research. LASIK said no. That's the beginning of the story, not the end.

"Your prescription is too high for LASIK." "Your corneas are too thin." For most patients that sentence ends the conversation. It should be the start of a different one — because the limitation is LASIK's, not your eyes'.

EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens placed behind the iris through a small incision. It can treat qualifying myopia without laser removal of corneal tissue. Chamber depth, endothelial cell count, lens and retinal health, prescription, and dry-eye findings still need evaluation. Visual recovery varies, and early follow-ups check pressure and lens position.

Dr. Shehz is double board-certified, trained at Dean McGee Eye Institute, and pursued advanced refractive training that specifically included ICL implantation. He handles every consultation, every placement, and every follow-up. Frisco is 15 minutes south on the Dallas North Tollway.

Starwood, Stonebriar, and Phillips Creek residents rarely accept a no. They go looking for the procedure that fits.

Why patients look beyond LASIK

Why patients look beyond LASIK — and what they find.

If LASIK is unsuitable, ask which measurements ruled it out and whether another procedure is appropriate. EVO ICL, PRK, lens replacement, glasses, or contacts may be discussed; exclusion from LASIK does not establish candidacy for another operation.

The three options below cover the full spectrum. Your consultation will determine which one your eyes actually support.

Your lens-based options

The right lens procedure depends on your eyes and your age.

The implantable alternative

EVO ICL

A Collamer lens placed behind the iris without laser removal of corneal tissue. It may fit qualifying myopia when LASIK is unsuitable. Removal or exchange requires another operation; vision and recovery vary.

Best for: High myopia (-3 to -20D), thin corneas, dry-eye-prone eyes, patients told they can't get LASIK

The most-performed option

All-Laser LASIK

Two advanced lasers reshape the cornea in about 15 minutes. Fast recovery, wide eligibility, and decades of outcomes data — but it requires adequate corneal thickness and a prescription within its treatment range.

Best for: Stable prescriptions within range, healthy corneas, fastest visual recovery

The presbyopia solution

Custom Lens Replacement

The natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens. Selected patients may reduce glasses dependence, but age over 40 alone does not establish candidacy. Lens designs have different near-vision, glare, and contrast tradeoffs.

Best for: Over 40, reading-glasses dependence, presbyopia, early lens changes

Dr. Shez is the most informative and detail oriented LASIK doctor I have met in my entire life. With other LASIK doctors, the volume of patients they have is so high that they don't take the time to discuss with you what your options are. Dr. Shez on the other hand took over an hour the first time I visited and made sure to explain to me the variety of… Read full review
Mark LamGoogle Review
I had a great experience with Visionary Eye Surgery and Dr. Shehz throughout my LASIK journey. From the consultation to the follow-ups, the staff was professional, patient, and reassuring every step of the way. Even when I had a healing complication with one eye early on, they took care of it immediately, stayed in close contact with me, and made sure I… Read full review

Questions patients ask, answered straight.

Don't see your question? Call 214-972-2020 or book a visit and ask Dr. Shehz directly.

  • What is EVO ICL and how is it different from LASIK?
    EVO ICL is an Implantable Collamer Lens placed behind the iris through a micro-incision. Unlike LASIK, nothing is removed from your cornea — the lens is additive, and it's removable if your needs ever change. It corrects prescriptions LASIK can't safely treat, including high myopia up to about -20 diopters.
  • How much does EVO ICL cost near Frisco?
    After your consultation you'll receive one written, all-in quote — surgeon, lens, and follow-up care included. EVO ICL is fully FSA/HSA-eligible, and 0% APR financing is available for qualified applicants. No number is added after the quote.
  • Am I a candidate for EVO ICL?
    Current FDA labeling includes ages 21–60. A stable prescription, adequate anterior chamber depth, corneal endothelial cell count, and natural-lens health also matter. Candidacy is determined by an examination and precise measurements, not age or a screening questionnaire alone.
  • Is EVO ICL safe long-term?
    The Collamer material has been implanted worldwide since 1997, with more than 2 million lenses placed globally. It's biocompatible, includes built-in UV protection, and the lens can be removed or exchanged if needed decades later.
  • How long is recovery from EVO ICL?
    Vision may improve early but can continue to fluctuate. Follow-ups check pressure, lens position, and healing. Plan your Frisco commute and time off around the team's clearance for driving and work, not a guaranteed next-day result.
  • Is it worth driving from Frisco to Plano for EVO ICL?
    It's about 15 minutes on the Tollway. ICL requires a surgeon with specific implant training — that's a narrower field than LASIK. You'll make a handful of trips total, and the surgeon's precision determines the outcome you live with for decades.
  • What if EVO ICL isn't right for me either?
    Then you'll hear it directly, along with the alternative. Some patients are better served by Custom Lens Replacement, ASA, or a combination approach. Every option is performed by Dr. Shehz in the same Plano facility.
