Get to know Ophthalmologist Dr. Hena Khaja, who serves patients in McKinney, Texas.

A highly trained ophthalmologist, Dr. Khaja is affiliated with Texas Eye Doctors in McKinney, Texas. She specializes in ophthalmic disease, ocular surgery, lens implantation, and retinopathy.

Texas Eye Doctors is a comprehensive ophthalmology practice that provides the community of Collin County in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with exceptional eye care from a state-of-the-art clinic in McKinney, Texas. Their doctors and staff go the extra mile in explaining conditions and treatment options so that patients are comfortable, educated, and happy with their eye care.

Academically, Dr. Khaja graduated magna cum laude from the University of Texas where she majored in human biology with a focus on pathogenesis and immunities and minored in business. After graduating, she completed a transitional year program at the University of Texas in Houston, where she worked in inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings to gain experience in general medicine, pediatrics, and surgery. 

Subsequently, she earned her medical degree from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Rochester, Minnesota, graduating with honors in surgery and ophthalmology. She went on to complete an ophthalmology residency at the University of Cincinnati, where she served as chief resident and presented on cancer-associated retinopathy, lupus retinopathy, and retinal phlebitis at the university’s grand rounds forum.

An authority in her field, the doctor is board-certified in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, an independent, non-profit organization responsible for certifying ophthalmologists in the United States of America.

Among her professional affiliations, Dr. Khaja is an active member of the Cincinnati Society of Ophthalmology, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and the Dallas Muslim Medical Alliance.

An avid researcher, she has conducted groundbreaking research on acute maculopathy and dangling lens phacoemulsification, a new technique for phacoemulsification and lens implantation. She has also performed extensive performance analyses of various vitreoretinal instruments.

Well respected by colleagues and patients for her skill and dedication, Dr. Khaja attributes her success to passion, hard work, and commitment to quality patient care. She also attributes much of her success to her mentor, Dr. Wesley Herman, a renowned innovator in the field of ophthalmic microsurgery.

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. Ophthalmologists are experts in the diseases, functions, and anatomy of the eye. Ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and may perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Khaja was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by her parents, Yousuf and Majida Khaja and brother and two sisters, who are also in the field and have shown her tremendous support. Passionate about giving back to the community, she supports nonprofit organizations such as Helping Hands. In her spare time, her interests include working out, bike riding, reading, watching movies, and traveling. She is fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu, and Spanish, which allows her to serve a diverse range of patients.
