Ophthalmologist Serving Houston, TX — Dr. Geoffrey Collett, MD

Houston's Trusted Ophthalmology and Eye Surgery Practice

For Houston residents looking for an ophthalmologist who handles the whole journey personally, Surgical Eye Experts is a single-surgeon boutique practice led by Dr. Geoffrey Collett, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist. We serve Houston, TX patients from our Bellaire office at 6800 West Loop S #120 - a short drive from the Texas Medical Center, Galleria, Downtown Houston, and the Museum District. Unlike corporate chains where your consultation, surgery, and follow-up may be distributed across several providers, Dr. Collett performs the entire arc of your eye care himself. Se habla español.

Eye Conditions We Treat for Houston Patients

Dr. Collett provides evaluation and surgical or medical management for the following eye conditions:

• Cataracts (clouding of the natural lens)
• Glaucoma (elevated intraocular pressure and optic-nerve damage)
• Dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
• Pterygium (ocular surface growth)
• Posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery
• Bothersome eye floaters
• General adult ophthalmology exams and diagnostics

For LASIK, we refer to trusted colleagues so our practice can focus entirely on medical and surgical eye care.

Advanced Procedures Offered at Our Houston-Area Office

• Cataract surgery with the Light Adjustable Lens (RxSight LAL) - the only IOL that can be fine-tuned after surgery using UV light.
• MIGS glaucoma surgery - iStent, iAccess, and Durysta sustained-release implants.
• IPL therapy (OptiLight by Lumenis) and Prokera amniotic-membrane therapy for chronic dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction.
• Pterygium removal with amniograft - in-office procedure with regenerative amniotic membrane to reduce recurrence.
• YAG laser capsulotomy for post-cataract cloudy vision.
• YAG laser vitreolysis for bothersome eye floaters when appropriate.
• SLT laser for glaucoma pressure management.

Why Houston Patients Choose Dr. Collett

Single-surgeon continuity means the same board-certified physician evaluates you, performs your procedure, and handles your follow-up care. You're not handed off between partners, residents, or rotating clinicians. Dr. Collett is fellowship-trained in cataract and refractive surgery and has extensive experience with premium IOL platforms including the Light Adjustable Lens. Our office is Medicare-accepting, works with major commercial insurers, and offers CareCredit financing for premium IOL upgrades and self-pay procedures.
