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. They may provide routine care such as vision testing, as well as prescribe and fit eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, ophthalmologists are also surgeons. They repair traumatic injuries to the eye and perform cataract, glaucoma, and corneal surgery.

In his professional journey, Dr. Pansick has authored numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals covering his areas of clinical interest. He credits his success to a commitment to continuous learning, ensuring he can provide the best care for his patients.

When he is not at work, Dr. Pansick enjoys spending time with friends and family, including his dog and cat, and supporting Texas sports teams – especially the Texas Longhorns, Dallas Cowboys, and Dallas Mavericks.
