For the past two years RCF has held a fundraising Gala in La Jolla, CA featuring\u00a0a live and silent auction. For\u00a0the\u00a0second year in a row we were\u00a0proud to donate one <a href=\"https:\/\/eyectexas.com\/lasik\/\">LASIK<\/a> procedure, including round trip airfare and hotel accommodations.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s winning bid was placed by Nick Cahill from Lake Tahoe. Coincidentally\u00a0Nick is a videographer who works with RCF founder Brandon Webb, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL and best-selling author who recently spoke at our Grapevine office.<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s LASIK procedure was performed by Phillips Kirk Labor, MD on Friday, November 21 in our LASIK suite. We\u2019re happy to report the surgery was a success. After a post-operative exam the next day, Nick was headed back home seeing better\u00a0and feeling great.<\/p>\n<p>Eye Consultants of Texas is one of several RCF Mission Partners dedicated to ensuring that 100% of all donations go directly to needy families of special operators. And this year\u2019s Gala was no exception. To learn more about the Red Circle Foundation, or to donate, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcirclefoundation.org\/\">www.redcirclefoundation.org<\/a>. To learn more about LASIK surgery, call our office in Grapevine at 817-410-2030. We\u2019re conveniently located to the Dallas\/Fort Worth Metroplex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly all of our LASIK and cataract patients come from Dallas\/Fort Worth.
