LASIK in Irving starts with an easy PGBT drive to Plano.
Irving patients from Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, and downtown Irving take the PGBT or I-635 east for a surgeon who handles every step personally. The trip is about 30 minutes — and the surgeon you get is the same one who examined your eyes.
Irving has corporate-campus convenience. LASIK requires a different kind of care.
Las Colinas is headquarters territory — Exxon, Kimberly-Clark, Vistra, and dozens of mid-size firms stacked along the canal and O'Connor Boulevard. Nearby medical services are a campus selling point, and for a routine eye exam they serve employees well. A corporate-adjacent clinic and a surgeon-led practice are different things once a laser is involved.
Dr. Shehz is double board-certified in vision correction, trained at Dean McGee Eye Institute, and has performed nearly 7,000 procedures. He maps your corneas, decides which laser approach fits, operates, and follows up — no rotating roster, no meeting your surgeon on the day.
The drive is about 30 minutes via the PGBT or I-635 east to US-75 north. We schedule Irving patients in one-trip clusters: consultation and diagnostics in a single visit, surgery on a separate day, follow-up coordinated to minimize round trips.
One physician owning the entire process. In a metro this size, that is rarer than it should be.

One surgeon, start to finish.
The hands that map your corneas on day one are the hands at the laser. No rotation, no roster, no meeting your surgeon for the first time on surgery day.
ii.
A practice, not a pipeline.
Diagnostics, the laser suite, and recovery live in one Plano building. One team, one chart, no shuttling between facilities.

02/Your laser options
The procedure should fit your eyes — not the other way around.
“LASIK” is really a family of three laser procedures. Which one is right comes down to your corneal thickness, prescription, tear film, and what you do all day — not to whichever machine a clinic happens to own.
The one most people mean
All-Laser LASIK
A femtosecond laser creates the flap and an excimer laser does the reshaping — no blade anywhere in the process. The procedure itself runs about 15 minutes, and most patients read 20/20 by the next morning.
Best for: Stable prescriptions, healthy corneas, people who want the fastest visual recovery
Instead of a flap, a single small incision removes a thin disc of tissue from inside the cornea. Fewer corneal nerves are disturbed, which is why SMILE tends to be kinder to eyes with a dry-eye history.
Best for: Dry-eye-prone eyes, mild-to-moderate nearsightedness, contact-sport athletes
The laser works directly on the corneal surface — nothing is cut, nothing can dislodge. Vision takes several days to sharpen instead of one, but the end result matches LASIK.
Best for: Thin corneas, military and first responders, careers where a flap is a liability
Teaser pricing is the North Texas LASIK market's worst habit. The low number applies to almost nobody, and the final bill looks nothing like the billboard.

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

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

How much does LASIK cost near Irving?
After your exam you get one written, all-in quote — surgeon, laser, and aftercare included. LASIK is fully FSA/HSA-eligible, and 0% APR financing is available for qualified applicants.
Is it worth driving from Irving to Plano for LASIK?
About 30 minutes on the PGBT. You'll make the trip a handful of times total, and the surgeon you choose determines the outcome you live with for decades.
Can I use my employer's FSA or HSA?
Yes — LASIK is fully eligible for both FSA and HSA funds. Many Irving-area employers offer these benefits, and we can help you verify what applies at your consultation.
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
Most adults with a stable prescription and healthy corneas qualify. Candidacy is decided by measurements taken during your free visit.
What if I'm not a LASIK candidate?
High prescriptions often point to EVO ICL; patients over 40 may do better with lens-based correction. All performed by Dr. Shehz in the same Plano facility.
How much time off work will I need?
Most LASIK and SMILE patients see well by the next day. ASA patients should plan for several days. We'll map the timeline before you commit.
Still have questions?
Talk to our team, no pressure, no sales pitch. We answer the question, not the upsell.
Told LASIK isn't for you? There's usually a better-fitting answer.
High prescriptions and thin corneas often point to EVO ICL; over 40, lens-based correction can outperform a laser. Both are performed by Dr. Shehz in the same Plano facility.
