FAQ

Patient education FAQs

How do I know if I have a cataract?

Only an eye exam can confirm a cataract. Common signs include cloudy or blurry vision, glare or halos around headlights, and colors that look faded. Our cataract self-test can help you decide whether to schedule an evaluation.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for LASIK?

A consultation with measurements of your eyes is the only way to know. Our LASIK self-test is a quick first step, and if LASIK isn’t a fit, PRK, EVO ICL, or refractive lens exchange may be.

Which cataract lens implant is best?

The best lens depends on your eye health, prescription, and how you want to see after surgery. Start with our lens options guide, then Dr. Truong will recommend a lens at your consultation.

Does Azure Eye Center treat keratoconus and other cornea conditions?

Yes. Dr. David Truong is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist who treats keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, and other cornea conditions, including corneal cross-linking and DMEK and DSEK transplants.

Can I ask questions before scheduling?

Yes. Call (817) 886-4600 to talk with our team at the Fort Worth (Alliance) or Colleyville office, or request an appointment online.
