About Me

Dr. Sergio Garces Uribe is a neuro-ophthalmologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology. He cares for adults and children with neuro-ophthalmic conditions, including optic nerve disorders, double vision, and misalignment of the eyes, and has particular expertise in adult strabismus and pediatric neuro-ophthalmology. Dr. Garces earned his medical degree from the University of Zulia, where he also completed a residency in ophthalmology. He then pursued subspecialty training through a neuro-ophthalmology fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital followed by a pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus fellowship at UT Southwestern. His research interests include optic neuritis related to multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica, the use of optical coherence tomography to evaluate the visual pathways, cortical visual impairment, and papilledema and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Dr. Garces aims to provide thorough, team-based care, often working with neurologists and other specialists to address complex visual symptoms. He places a strong emphasis on education so patients and families understand how neurologic disease affects the eyes. When he is not seeing patients, he enjoys music, board games, and traveling.
