Phillips Kirk Labor, MD, FACS, FICS, ABES (Founder)
Dr. Labor is a board certified ophthalmologist, with additional certification by the American Board of Eye Surgery (ABES) placing him among a very select group of U.S. eye doctors. He is considered one of the most innovative eye surgeons in the U.S. with a reputation that stretches abroad. In 2003, he founded Eye Consultants of Texas, and has been the first in the U.S., Texas and Dallas/Fort Worth to adopt new technologies and perform a number of advanced new procedures. Seeing a lack of specialized focus on Dry Eyes, he founded Dry Eye Institutes of America to provide more diagnostic and treatment options for Dry Eye sufferers who may not have had access to these services previously.
