Harvey L. Carter, III, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract and refractive surgery. As a leading ophthalmologist in the north Texas area, Dr. Carter has more than 20 years' experience and has performed more than 10,000 eye surgeries. He was one of the first surgeons in the country to perform cataract surgery with the revolutionary Crystalens intraocular lens implants, and remains one of the world leaders in cataract surgery performed with Crystalens.

Dr. Carter and his surgical team perform the advanced "no-stitch, no-patch, no-shot" method of cataract surgery, which reduces pain and promotes rapid recovery. Dr. Carter begins the procedure by applying numbing eye drops and creating a small incision. Using high-energy sound waves, he breaks the clouded lens into small pieces, which are removed through the incision. Then, he replaces the clouded lens with a premium intraocular lens to give patients clearer vision.

Dr. Carter offers some of the finest intraocular lens implants (IOLs) available, including Crystalens, AcrySof ReSTOR and ReZoom, which can correct for presbyopia, nearsightedness and farsightedness. As a result, most patients report improved vision immediately after the procedure.

In addition to cataract surgery, Dr. Carter performs LASIK and several oculoplastics procedures and skin rejuvenation treatments. To treat drooping eyelids and sagging brow lines, his office offers browlift and eyelid surgery to give patients youthful, refreshed appearances. The team at Carter Eye Center also provides injectable fillers to lessen the prominence of wrinkles and crow's feet.
