Texas Eye Institute is acknowledged as one of the Gulf Coast's premier eye care physician groups. Since 1961 we've dedicated ourselves to building a tradition of excellence in eye care unparalleled in the area.
Patients have given us the compliment of referring family and friends to our practice-their trust in us is an inspiration for our practice to maintain our tradition of excellence. The group's medical expertise, which is available at five convenient locations, covers the spectrum of eye care and specialties, including routine eye exams; LASIK eye surgery, cataract surgery; glaucoma; corneal transplants; retina-vitreous care; pediatrics; different types of laser vision correction and plastic surgery of the eyelids.
Blurred vision refers to a lack of sharpness of vision resulting in the inability to see fine detail. Blurred vision may result from abnormalities such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, or astigmatism that can be improved with corrective lenses (eyeglasses) or it may signal the presence of eye disease.
Request an AppointmentDry eye occurs when the eyes produce too few tears or the tears evaporate too fast. The condition can affect one or both eyes. Lifestyle changes can help, but in severe cases, a person may need medication or surgery.
Request an AppointmentA drooping eyelid is also called ptosis or blepharoptosis. In this condition, the border of the upper eyelid falls to a lower position than normal. In severe cases, the drooping eyelid can cover all or part of the pupil and interfere with vision.
Request an AppointmentAs we grow older, our night vision worsens. We have fewer rods (light-sensitive cells in our eyes that distinguish between light and dark) to detect objects in low light and our eyes' lenses become stiffer and cloudier. Other conditions such as astigmatism can also make it difficult to see at night, affecting peripheral vision and depth perception and worsening glare.
Request an AppointmentHalos are bright circles that surround a light source, like headlights. Glare is light that enters your eye and interferes with your vision. Halos often show up when you're in a dim or dark place. Glare is more likely in the daytime. They're a normal response to bright lights, but deeper problems can also bring them on.
Request an AppointmentAstigmatism is a common type of refractive error. It means that some part of your eye (either the cornea or lens) is more curved than it should be. This altered eye shape makes your vision blurry. Most cases of astigmatism can be treated with corrective lenses like eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Request an AppointmentMyopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a very common vision disorder that is usually diagnosed before age 20. Myopia affects your distance vision. You can see objects that are near well, but have trouble viewing objects that are far, such as grocery store aisle markers or road signs.
Request an AppointmentInability to see objects clearly from a close distance can be the result of a few conditions. A common vision condition that causes blurry vision up close is called hyperopia, or farsightedness. Farsightedness is typically the result of a flat cornea or short eyeball, which causes light to focus indirectly on the retina.

You may have heard about laser vision correction and wondered if this procedure would benefit you. LASIK can help you see without total dependence on glasses and contact lenses if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The only way to ultimately be sure if you are a LASIK candidate is to schedule an appointment with our office, and we will do a series of diagnostic tests to understand your potential for candidacy.

"I was surprisingly pleased with how fast everything went from the check-in to the different tests to see the ophthalmologist. The process used to take an hour, and today I was in and out in half an hour. The speed didn't compromise the quality of care I always received at this clinic. I highly recommend them."
"Right from the registration, the staff were very professional and knowledgeable. The waiting time to see the nurse was very short and so also was the time to see the doctor. The entire process from one examination to the next and throughout all the exams were well coordinated."
