Some eye conditions are best handled right here at PersonalEyes — dry eye, glaucoma management, myopia control, specialty contact lenses, and most medical eye concerns. But some situations genuinely need a surgeon or subspecialist: retinal detachments, cataracts ready for surgery, corneal transplants, oculoplastic procedures, complex pediatric strabismus. When that's the case, we refer — deliberately, with context, and with you still in the loop.
Dr. Patel personally chooses the specialists we work with. We share clinical notes, imaging, and a detailed referral letter so you never have to repeat your story from scratch. We follow up after your specialty visit, handle pre-op and post-op care in our office when appropriate, and stay your primary eye doctor through the whole process.
That's what co-management means at PersonalEyes: one relationship, a whole network of care behind it.
Named specialty partners coming soon. We're confirming each partner before listing them by name. In the meantime, this page explains how we refer and what you can expect. If you need a specific specialist today, call us at 817-527-3604 and we'll make the connection.
Who We Work With
Hover or tap any card to see when we refer to that specialty and how co-management works.
We co-manage macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and detachments, and vein occlusions. Dr. Patel follows you alongside the retina specialist to keep care continuous.
When cataracts affect your daily life, we refer for surgery — and then handle all pre-op measurements and post-op follow-up care in our office, closer to home.
We manage most glaucoma in-office, but refer for advanced surgical options like trabeculectomy, MIGS, tube shunts, and laser procedures when medical therapy isn't enough.
For corneal transplants, severe keratoconus, corneal crosslinking, and stromal herpes keratitis — we refer to fellowship-trained corneal specialists and stay involved in your care.
For ptosis repair, blepharoplasty, entropion, ectropion, tear duct blockage, and orbital concerns — we connect you with trusted oculoplastic surgeons in the DFW area.
For strabismus surgery, congenital cataracts, and complex pediatric conditions that need surgical intervention, we refer to fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologists.
When visual field defects, optic neuritis, or unexplained vision loss point to a neurological cause, we refer for specialized neuro-ophthalmology evaluation and coordinate with your neurologist.
If you're a candidate for LASIK, SMILE, PRK, or implantable contact lenses, we refer to trusted refractive surgeons and manage your pre-op workup and post-op care at PersonalEyes.
The Co-Management Journey
A referral isn't a hand-off — it's a relay. You stay our patient the whole time, and we stay the point of contact. Scroll through to see the loop.
