WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
It's more than a tagline. It’s the purpose behind the work we do every day. At RCTX, fighting blindness means preserving vision through exceptional patient care, advancing what’s possible through clinical research and innovation, and making specialized retina care accessible to the communities we serve. As an RCTX physician, you are at the center of that mission.
Every patient you treat, referring provider you support, clinical advancement you contribute to, and every person you educate, helps move it forward.
What does “for the world to see” mean? Our impact reaches far beyond the walls of our clinics. RCTX physicians have played a role in the clinical trials behind the treatments that have shaped today’s standards of retinal care. The therapies we use every day to preserve vision were once research, and our physicians and research teams helped move many of those advancements from clinical trials into real-world patient care.

patient experience
We have 23 locations throughout our Houston and San Antonio areas. Our patients will visit different clinics, interact with multiple team members, or see more than one RCTX physician throughout their care. No matter where they are, we want their experience to feel consistent. The RCTX Patient Experience program was developed by our leadership team to create a shared approach to how we communicate with patients and with one another across the practice. It gives our physicians and staff a common language and helps ensure patients receive clear, thoughtful, and consistent communication throughout their journey with RCTX.
