Every patient is special to us and we are so grateful especially for the ones that come from far away! Last week, Dr. Slade performed cataract surgery on Mrs. Karen Frinzi, the wife of Mr. Tom Frinzi who many in our industry know as the CEO of Staar Surgical. She came to Houston all the way from Newport Beach CA just to have Dr. Slade perform her surgery which is such an honor.

Today, Dr. Stephen Slade was awarded the Steinert Award at the Refractive Day.
We learned today that Roger F. Steinert, MD, was a well-admired, well-loved, and multiple-awarded pioneer in cornea, refractive, and cataract surgery. We also learned he was “highly decorated, but humble” and honestly, we couldn’t use a better description for today’s winner of this award.
Dr. Slade has won countless awards and has been a true pioneer as one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to perform - we are so proud to see him win an award named after someone who came before him that modeled the same incredible qualities and talents ✨⭐️
Dr. Slade delivered the Steinert lecture and was handed the award by the current President of ASCRS, Vance Thompson M.D.

LASIK at Slade & Baker Vision: A Patient Experience
Dr. Stephen Slade formed Slade & Baker Vision with Dr. Richard Baker in 1996. Since then, the practice has expanded to include Dr. Bennett Walton and Dr. Shama Essa. The doctors of Slade & Baker Vision specialize in treating patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia (those who have age-related problems reading without glasses). Additionally, many patients with cataracts, glaucoma or corneal problems (including keratoconus) come to Slade & Baker Vision from all over the world.
Our doctors were the first to perform LASIK in the United States, first to perform laser cataract surgery in the US, performed the first commercial Raindrop near vision inlay in the US and were among the first to perform SMILE laser vision correction in the US. Our practice led the largest US corneal collagen cross-linking trial before the procedure reached FDA approval. Similarly, many of the advanced technology intraocular lenses in the US are available for use during cataract surgery because of our doctors’ research as part of FDA clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
We offer extensive experience with the latest technology and analyze our outcomes to consistently improve our results, but more importantly, we strive to understand each of our patient’s needs and wants in order to form a customized plan.
The doctors of Slade & Baker Vision practice in a world-class facility that offers no cost garage parking in the beautiful and centrally located River Oaks/ Galleria area of Houston. We pride ourselves on our courteous, professional and knowledgable staff. Our office accepts the majority of medical insurances including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Humana, Cigna, Medicare, Tricare and AARP as well as many others.
