Yes. Resler is both a clinic and a surgery center, where LASIK surgery is performed. Cataract evaluations are available at Resler, but cataract surgery is performed at a designated surgical facility. Other procedures may also require a different location. Your care team will confirm where your procedure will take place and provide specific instructions for preparation, arrival, and transportation.

Bring a photo ID, your medical and vision insurance cards, a current medication list, and any glasses or contact lenses you use. Bring outside eye records or referral information if they are relevant to your visit.

If you are scheduled for surgery, follow the instructions provided by your surgical team. These may include medication guidance, restrictions on eating or drinking, and arrangements for transportation home. Review our appointment preparation guide for general information about visits.

Appointment times vary based on the type of examination, diagnostic testing, and whether your eyes need to be dilated. If your exam includes dilation, plan to spend approximately one to two hours at the location.

Because wait times and testing needs can vary, allow extra time in your schedule and consider bringing a book, headphones, or another quiet activity. Dilation can cause temporary blurry vision and light sensitivity, so bring sunglasses and consider arranging a driver if you are concerned about driving afterward.

Surgical visits follow a different schedule. Use the arrival time and transportation instructions provided by your care team.

Southwest Eye Institute accepts many medical insurance plans, but participation and coverage vary by plan, type of care, and procedure.
