About Me

Dr. Omar M. Ismail is a vitreoretinal surgeon who treats diseases of the retina and vitreous, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membrane, macular holes, and retinal detachment. He completed residency and a vitreoretinal surgery fellowship at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston before joining Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. Patients describe his care as thorough and family-centered, with an emphasis on clear explanations and respect for their time. Dr. Ismail earned his MD at the University of Alabama School of Medicine, then completed internship and advanced ophthalmic training at UTHealth Houston, where he remained for fellowship. His publications span surgical outcomes and retinal disease, and he enjoys collaborating with primary care and specialty colleagues to optimize vision and overall health. Dr. Ismail’s philosophy is simple: treat every patient as he would a family member, explain options in plain language, and tailor treatment to each person’s goals and lifestyle.
