Welcome to the Retina Center of Texas! Together, we can achieve life-changing improvements in your eyesight, quality of life, and peace of mind. We see new patients in our clinic daily, and same-day consultations are available for patients with urgent or emergent needs.
We kindly request that you plan to be at your appointment for up to 3 hours .
We offer specialized retinal eye exams to discover and treat various conditions, including:
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. The macula is the central area of the retina that is responsible for the most functional vision. Damage to the retina can lead to blindness or vision interruption, such as blurriness or distortion.
The vitreous body is a clear gel that fills the space between the retina and the lens. Both structures can be subject to many conditions, including problems caused by inherited or congenital disorders, eye diseases, and eye trauma.
A retina specialist is an ophthalmologist who has received special training in the medical and surgical treatment of conditions involving the retina and the eye's vitreous. Your doctor will recommend the services of a vitreoretinal specialist to a patient with an eye condition that cannot be cared for by a general ophthalmologist. Retina specialists treat a wide range of eye conditions in adults and children.
If you have completed your registration forms before your appointment, we recommend arriving 10 minutes early.
If you have not completed your registration forms before your appointment, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early to complete your forms.
We have a Patient Registration fillable PDF form that allows you to type your patient information in the form and email or fax the completed copy to us before your appointment or bring a copy to your exam.
We recommend that all patients complete their forms before their appointment.
Step 1: Please schedule an appointment with us.
Step 2: Complete your patient forms and return them to us:
Your eyes will be dilated during your visit, making your vision blurry and your eyes more sensitive to light for several hours. After your eyes are dilated, you will need to wait before the retina specialist can examine your eyes. Some people find it difficult to see or drive after being dilated for several hours. If you are not using public transportation or do not feel comfortable driving yourself, please consider arranging for someone to drive you home.
If you have diabetes and your appointment will run in your meal break, please bring a snack to your appointment.
After your examination, your retina specialist will discuss the exam results with you and answer any questions you might have.
You may need to have a follow-up appointment at a later date.
Please call our office immediately at (817) 865-6800 if you have a severe problem with your eyes or suspect a possible emergency. We will work you into our clinic the same day during clinic hours. You will be routed to the after-hours on-call physician if you call after regular business hours.
