Ophthalmologist Serving West University Place, TX - Dr. Geoffrey Collett, MD

Eye Surgery and Ophthalmology Care for West University Place, TX Patients

Surgical Eye Experts is a single-surgeon ophthalmology practice led by Dr. Geoffrey Collett, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist. West University Place neighbors Bellaire, so our office at 6800 West Loop S #120 is just minutes away by way of Bellaire Blvd and the West Loop. The same physician who evaluates your eyes performs your surgery and your follow-up care, so the continuity that often gets lost in larger practices stays intact. Se habla español.

Eye Conditions We Treat for West University Place Patients

Dr. Collett provides medical and surgical management for:

• Cataracts (clouding of the natural lens)

• Dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
• Pterygium (ocular surface growth)
• Posterior capsular opacification after cataract surgery
• Bothersome eye floaters
