(Newswire.net — May 6, 2013) Grapevine, Texas — Eye Consultants of Texas launched a new, state-of-the art, customized, mobile app that allows their patients to receive superior interactive care. The application has been designed for Android and Apple devices, including smartphones, tablets, and the iPad. Additionally, the application includes a “Fan Wall,” that allows patients to post comments and links to upcoming events, and also has a map of shopping and attractions near the office.
Eye Consultants of Texas was founded and is operated by Dr. Phillips Kirk Labor, MD, a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, who has offices in both Fort Worth and Grapevine, Texas. Dr. Labor is certified and experienced in a full-range of eye treatment options. The new Grapevine location advances the benefits for patients by providing expertise across a range of specialties, including LASIK surgeries, cataract removal, lens implants, implantable contact lenses, and conductive keratoplasty (CK) procedures. The Grapevine location provides full-service ophthalmologic care, offering office visits, testing, exams, and most eye surgeries in one convenient location.
In 2011, Dr. Labor was the first DFW eye surgeon to use the ORange®, now ORA, the world’s first technology that measures vision quality during cataract surgery. He was also the first in Texas to implant the ReZoom premium intraocular lens, the Verisyse implantable lens, and was the first U.S. solo private practitioner to acquire the Ziemer FEMTO LDV surgical laser. In addition, Dr. Labor is among a select few U.S. eye surgeons that manufacturers such as Bausch & Lomb have chosen to evaluate new technologies. Dr. Labor is internationally recognized for his work in refractive surgery, bringing over twenty years of refractive and cataract expertise to Eye Consultants of Texas.
Dr. Labor has received numerous honors for his outstanding work and expertise. He has been named one of “America’s Top Ophthalmologist” by the Top Ophthalmologist Consumers’ Research Council of America, and a Fort Worth and Tarrant Count Top Doc. In 2012, he was recognized by Premier Surgeon as one of the top 250 leading U.S. innovators for premium intraocular lens surgery. In addition, Dr. Labor has been an International College of Surgeons (ICS) Fellow since 2010, an honor reserved only for physicians with superior credentials and a well-established national reputation. He was among a select group of surgeons nominated by its U.S. Section to serve as a Vice President for 2013 and 2014. His affiliations include the American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, American College of Eye Surgeons, and Society for Excellence in Eye Care.
