How to Find a Highly Rated LASIK Surgeon in Dallas–Fort Worth
If you’re wondering whether the Dallas area has highly rated LASIK providers, the answer is yes. Dallas–Fort Worth has several well-regarded LASIK practices. Tylock Nasser Vision is one, led by Dr. Taj Nasser, who was voted Best LASIK Surgeon by Living Magazine. Tylock Nasser Vision sees patients in Irving and McKinney, performs surgery at the Surgery Center of Plano and Arlington Surgical, and holds a 4.8-star rating across more than 2,700 patient reviews.
If you are comparing LASIK surgeons in Dallas, here is what that recognition rests on, and what to look for in any provider you consider.
Voted Best LASIK Surgeon by Living Magazine
Living Magazine’s Best Of awards are voted on by readers in the communities the magazine serves across North Texas. Dr. Nasser has been named Best LASIK Surgeon. Because the vote comes from local residents, repeat wins reflect something steady: patients who had a good experience and told their neighbors about it.
Board Certified, Fellowship Trained, and a National EVO ICL Trainer
Dr. Nasser’s training was built specifically for vision correction surgery.
- Board-certified ophthalmologist
- Doctor of Medicine, East Carolina University, after graduating magna cum laude in chemistry
- Ophthalmology residency at Tulane University in New Orleans, where he served as chief resident
- Refractive surgery fellowship through the World Council of Refractive Surgery & Visual Sciences at Parkhurst NuVision
- One of a small number of EVO ICL surgical trainers in the United States, teaching other surgeons the procedure
Recognized by His Peers in Ophthalmology
Beyond patient-voted honors, Dr. Nasser’s work has been recognized by the surgeons who know the field best.

- Best Basic Science Research Award, Tulane University
- Leaders in Innovative Care Scholar, East Carolina University
Research That Shapes How LASIK and ICL Surgery Are Done
Dr. Nasser does not only perform vision correction; he studies it. He has published in the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery and Clinical Ophthalmology, including work on an artificial intelligence model that improves the accuracy of implantable lens sizing and a large U.S. single-center analysis of EVO ICL outcomes. He has presented at ASCRS and the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and serves as principal investigator or sub-investigator on 20 clinical trials for companies including STAAR Surgical, Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Carl Zeiss Meditec, and Alcon.
For patients, that means care informed by the newest evidence, often before it reaches most practices.
Trusted by Physicians and Professional Athletes
Dr. Nasser is often described as a “surgeon’s surgeon,” the person other doctors choose for their own eyes. Tylock Nasser Vision is also the Official LASIK Surgeon of the Texas Rangers. He maintains memberships in the American Academy of Ophthalmology, ASCRS, the American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery, and the World Council of Refractive Surgery & Visual Sciences.
The Right Procedure, Not Just LASIK
A highly rated provider will tell you when LASIK is not your best option. Dr. Nasser evaluates each patient for the full range of vision correction:
- Modern LASIK, using all-laser and custom treatment technology
- PRK for patients with thinner corneas or active lifestyles
- EVO ICL, an implantable lens for higher prescriptions, thin corneas, or dry eye
- Refractive lens exchange and laser cataract surgery for patients over 40
How to Evaluate Any LASIK Provider in Dallas
Whoever you choose, these questions help separate a highly rated surgeon from a well-advertised one:
- Is the surgeon board-certified and fellowship-trained in refractive surgery?
- Do independent sources, such as reader-voted awards and verified reviews, back up the practice’s claims?
- Does the surgeon offer alternatives like EVO ICL, or PRK, and recommend them when appropriate?
- Will you meet the surgeon before your procedure, not just a coordinator?
- Is pricing clear, with follow-up care included?
A Surgeon Who Has Been in Your Seat
Dr. Nasser had LASIK himself after years of glasses and contact lens dry eye. He knows the hesitation and the questions that come with it, and he walks every patient through the process with that in mind.
