Dr. Van Andre

Dr. Van Kaden Andre is a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist who focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of glaucoma—the “silent thief of sight.” He believes expert care starts with clear education and a thoughtful plan tailored to each patient’s stage of disease and lifestyle. Whether you are newly diagnosed or seeking a second opinion, he offers a calm, collaborative approach to preserving vision over a lifetime.

Dr. Andre completed medical school and his ophthalmology residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he also pursued a glaucoma fellowship and served as an Assistant Instructor. His training exposed him to care across diverse settings, from academic clinics to high-volume surgical centers. In the clinic, he offers comprehensive medical and laser therapies and, when needed, advanced surgery to control eye pressure and protect the optic nerve. Patients appreciate his careful explanations, practical guidance between visits, and commitment to evidence-based treatment choices.
