Hospital before establishing his own LASIK clinic
in Sugar Land. After working in many ophthalmology
clinics in the region, Dr. Khokhar felt inspired
to found a practice based on the ideals he felt
were so important…
"There is no reason for
our patients not to receive the most advanced
ophthalmic care in a comfortable setting that
feels like home. There is no reason for our patients
to be treated in any way less than the way we
treat our family. For giving us their trust, our
patients deserve nothing less."
Sugarland Eye & Laser Center quickly became the
regions leader in premium LASIK services. Dr.
Khokhar was one of the first LASIK providers in
the area to offer this revolutionary technology.
He is one of the regions most experienced surgeons
having practiced exclusively ophthalmology for
the past 8 years and having performed thousands
of eye surgeries. In addition to his special interest
in blade-free customized laser vision correction,
he is skilled in surgeries to treat cataract,
glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric eye
surgery, plastic surgery, and eye trauma. He has
treated other physicians, professors, CEO's, as
well as his own family and friends with LASIK.
Dr. Khokhar is an expert at treating complicated
patients such as those with previous eye surgeries.
