Cornea Consultants of Texas

What Cornea Consultants of Texas does

Cornea Consultants of Texas is a private subspecialty ophthalmology practice founded in 2003 by Dr. Aaleya Koreishi in Arlington, Texas, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The practice focuses on cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery, and operates from three locations across Fort Worth, Arlington, and Plano with a roster of three fellowship-trained ophthalmologists whose training traces to top institutions including Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and Baylor College of Medicine.

Its clinical offerings include the only FDA-approved corneal crosslinking (CXL) procedure for keratoconus in the DFW area, alongside cataract surgery with premium IOL options, LASIK and PRK refractive procedures, and diagnostics supported by conventional ophthalmic technology such as specular microscopy and ORA (corneal topography-guided IOL guidance). The practice extends procedural capacity through partnerships with regional ambulatory surgery centers, allowing off-site delivery of in-office and OR-based ophthalmic care without owning a full hospital OR asset.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service ophthalmology: insurance-based reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers for medical and surgical eye care, supplemented by cash-pay refractive surgery. The patient base consists of individual consumer patients and regional optometrist referrals; the practice operates an online presence with a Medfusion-powered patient portal and accepts payments via standard channels. There is no disclosed outside funding, parent company, or institutional investor involvement.
