Welcome to West Texas Eye Associates

West Texas Eye Associates was founded in July 1998, by Dr. Timothy T. Khater, MD, PhD. The clinical facilities are located in Lubbock and Midland Texas. All feature first floor entries which are wheelchair accessible and handicap facilities are available throughout. Ample parking is available in the parking lot. Our equipment is state-of-the-art with friendly and courteous staff.

West Texas Eye Associates is the only practice in Lubbock and Midland with two American Board of Ophthalmology, Board Certified and Cornea, External Disease, & Refractive Surgery fellowship trained eye surgeons, and two fellowship trained and American Board of Ophthalmology, Board Certified Glaucoma eye surgeons. We also operate an on-site ambulatory surgical center which is a convenient and efficient way to provide surgical care.

Blade Free LASIK (iLASIK)

Imagine being able to perform most or all of your activities of daily life without the burden of glasses or contacts.
Blade Free Laser Cataract Surgery (LENSAR)

Using Lubbock's ONLY cataract laser, your cataract is safely and precisely removed and an intraocular lens is permanently implanted.
Premium Cataract Implants

We offer three different styles of presbyopia correcting implants: Tecnis Multifocal, Crystalens, and ReSTOR. Learn more about these treatments.
Corneal Surgery

Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea that makes the cornea become weak and may gradually bulge outward. This can be treated by Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (CXL).
Implantable Contact Lenses

Phakic intraocular lenses, also known as implantable contact lenses (ICLs), are surgically inserted into the eye where they provide excellent quality of vision with predictable and stable results.
Specialty Contact Lenses

For clients with keratoconus, corneal scars or corneal irregularities.
Blepharoplasty

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and we get wrinkles. We look older even though we still feel young and vibrant inside! The good news is you can do something about it.
Pterygium

Pterygium (pronounced “tur-RIDGE-ium”) is an abnormal superficial growth of the conjunctiva of the eye that extends from the corner of the eye and grows onto the cornea.
Implantable Miniature Telescope for Macular Degeneration

The Implantable Telescope Technology platform is based on wide-angle micro-optics that, in combination with the optics of the cornea
Keratoconus Treatment and Corneal Cross-Linking

A developing keratoconus and ectasia treatment is Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (CXL), which has been shown outside of the US to strengthen a weakened corneal structure.
Acne Treatment

Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments,
CoolSculpting

It’s not about what you lose. It’s what you gain. So say goodbye to stubborn fat.
Botox and Fillers

We all get wrinkles sooner or later. Smile lines, frown lines, laugh lines, marionette lines, crow’s feet…
Wrinkle Reduction

Frown lines, crow’s feet, and furrows between the eyes can begin to appear in our 30s and early 40s. Fortunately, today there are great options available for those looking to maintain a youthful look without surgical procedures.
Laser Hair Removal

Waxing hurts; so does plucking. Shaving takes time. All three come with the daily inconvenience of stubble, missed spots, ingrown hairs and irritation – not to mention cuts, red bumps or razor burn.

We are Lubbock’s ONLY one-year fellowship trained specialists in Laser refractive surgery, LASIK, and PRK.
