Akshaya K. Gupta, M.D.

Dr. Akshaya Gupta brings a rare combination of surgical excellence and groundbreaking research to Houston Eye Associates, redefining what advanced eye care looks like in the modern era.

Fresh from his prestigious fellowship at Weill Cornell Medicine, Dr. Gupta isn’t your typical eye surgeon. While mastering advanced procedures like corneal crosslinking, corneal transplants, and cutting-edge cataract surgery, he’s simultaneously pioneering research into surgical training methods—constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern eye care.

His expertise spans the full spectrum—from LASIK, PRK, and EVO procedures that free you from glasses, to complex corneal transplants that restore sight. But what truly sets Dr. Gupta apart is his commitment to accessible eye care for all. His research on healthcare disparities earned him the Presidential Cabinet Award and secured over $45,000 in funding for free clinics serving underinsured Texans.

When he’s not revolutionizing corneal care, you’ll find Dr. Gupta hitting the gym, perfecting his golf swing, or dominating the pickleball court. His travels span from Banff’s stunning landscapes to Portugal’s charming streets, but he’s quick to champion Houston’s underrated food scene and authentic rodeo culture.

Ready to experience vision care that’s as innovative as it is compassionate? Dr. Gupta is bringing his world-class expertise home to Houston Eye Associates.
