Her expertise includes LenSx laser-assisted cataract surgery with ORA technology, as well as the use of premium lenses, including multifocal, light adjustable, and astigmatic correcting options. With a strong commitment to patient care, she aims to provide personalized treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each patient.

A Magna Cum Laude graduate and Phi Beta Kappa member from Southern Methodist University, Dr. Muylaert earned her Medical Degree from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, TX. Following a surgical internship at Methodist Hospital in Dallas, TX, she completed her ophthalmology residency at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and a glaucoma fellowship at the prestigious New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mt.
