Tylock-George Laser Eye Care

What Tylock-George Laser Eye Care does

Tylock-George Laser Eye Care, now operating as Tylock Nasser Vision (TNV), is a private ophthalmology and refractive surgery practice founded in 1986 and headquartered in Irving, Texas, with additional locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in McKinney, Arlington, and Plano. The practice specializes in surgical vision correction, offering LASIK (including FDA-approved Contoura Vision topography-guided LASIK, which the practice introduced first in Texas), EVO ICL implantable Collamer lenses, PRK, refractive lens exchange, and modern cataract surgery with premium IOL options such as the Light Adjustable Lens, PanOptix Trifocal, and TECNIS Synergy. Core technology is centered on the Alcon WaveLight Refractive Suite (EX500 excimer laser at 500Hz with 1,050Hz eye tracking and FS200 femtosecond laser at 200kHz) plus the STAAR Surgical EVO ICL platform, and the practice reports more than 100,000 cumulative laser vision correction procedures performed.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, consultative sales model: prospective patients access free LASIK screenings and cataract evaluations online via the MyPatientVisit scheduling platform or by phone, after which board-certified ophthalmologists personally evaluate candidacy and recommend a personalized procedure. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time surgical procedures (LASIK, ICL, PRK, cataract, RLE) priced per case, supplemented by pre- and post-operative professional services and supported by patient financing options. The customer base spans adults seeking freedom from glasses and contacts, high-prescription or thin-cornea patients for whom LASIK is contraindicated, cataract patients including those seeking premium lenses, and a marketed niche of professional and amateur athletes served through the practice's designation as Official LASIK Surgeons of the Texas Rangers. The practice is led by Dr. Taj Nasser following a March 2026 ownership transition and rebrand, with the original co-founder Dr. Gary Tylock now retired. The practice employs between 11 and 50 staff across its locations and has no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional funding.

Products and services

• LASIK Eye Surgery Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis procedure that permanently reshapes the cornea using precision lasers to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, eliminating dependence on glasses or contacts. Targeted at adults 18+ seeking surgical vision correction.
• Contoura Vision Topography-Guided LASIK FDA-approved topography-guided LASIK that maps up to 22,000 unique elevation points on the cornea for highly individualized treatment, delivering superior outcomes and night vision quality compared to conventional LASIK. Offered to patients seeking advanced custom laser vision correction.
• EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) Implantable biocompatible lens placed inside the eye without removing corneal tissue, suitable for patients with thin corneas or high prescriptions who are not LASIK candidates. Reversible procedure with quick recovery, targeted at moderate to severe myopia patients.
• PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) Surface laser correction that achieves the same long-term outcomes as LASIK without creating a corneal flap. Preferred for patients in contact sports, military service, or with corneal profiles better suited to surface treatment.
• Cataract Surgery Surgical removal of clouded natural lens and replacement with clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore vision affected by cataracts. Includes premium lens options for adults seeking spectacle independence after surgery.
• Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Procedure replacing the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens to correct vision for presbyopic adults over 40, reducing dependence on glasses while eliminating need for future cataract surgery.
• Keratoconus & Cross-Linking Treatment Treatment for keratoconus using corneal cross-linking to strengthen the cornea and halt progression of the condition. Targeted at patients diagnosed with keratoconus.
• Comprehensive Eye Care General eye care services including eye exams, treatment of eye conditions, and vision care for patients of all ages.
