The Robert Cizik Eye Clinic, formerly the Hermann Eye Center, offers a full range of services from routine eye examinations to advanced eye surgery in the Texas Medical Center.

Affiliated Physicians

All of the physicians at the Cizik Eye Clinic are faculty members in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. They are also all board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Physicians practicing here are nationally and internationally renowned in their specialty and subspecialties.

Services

In addition to routine eye exams, the Cizik Eye Clinic offers a full range of services including:

• Contact lenses
• Electrophysiology
• Low Vision
• Optical Shop
• Orthoptics
• Photography (fundus, slit lamp, external)
• Ultrasonography

Although we see the most serious problems that involve the eyes and visual system, including very serious traumatic conditions, all the physicians at the Cizik Eye Clinic welcome general ophthalmic patients. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends routine eye examinations every one or two years for patients over the age of 55, at the onset of presbyopia (the loss of near focus with age, statistically at age 42), and as a child, when a vision problem is detected.
