About Me
Dr. Troy Gurney is a glaucoma specialist and cataract surgeon who cares for patients with the full spectrum of glaucoma and complex anterior segment disease. He offers both medical and surgical treatments, including combined cataract–glaucoma procedures, and tailors every plan to a patient’s vision goals and lifestyle. Patients value his clear explanations, practical guidance, and calm, team-based approach to long-term eye health.
After earning his M.D. at UT Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Gurney completed ophthalmology residency at Baylor College of Medicine and advanced fellowship training in glaucoma at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. At UT Southwestern, he sees patients in Fort Worth and Dallas and works closely with optometrists and referring physicians to streamline care and recovery. His interests include challenging diagnoses such as pseudoexfoliation and plateau iris, and he is experienced in complex lens and anterior segment surgery. Outside clinic, he contributes to peer-reviewed research and enjoys teaching the next generation of eye surgeons.
