About Me

Dr. Philip Cheng is an ophthalmologist who offers cataract surgery, laser vision correction, and modern glaucoma care. He guides patients through personalized choices such as advanced lens implants and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), aiming for clear vision with efficient recovery. Patients describe his style as thorough, collaborative, and focused on long-term eye health. Dr. Cheng completed dual degrees in Biochemistry and Economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before entering the Medical Scientist Training Program at UT Southwestern, where he earned both his M.D. and Ph.D. He then completed an internship at Dell Medical School in Austin and returned to UT Southwestern for ophthalmology residency. At Texas Vision, he treats a wide range of conditions—from dry eye and diabetic eye disease to complex cataracts—and works closely with co-managing optometrists across Central Texas to streamline care.
