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. 

Selected as a SuperDoctor Rising Star by his regional physicians and Texas Monthly Magazine in 2016, 2017 and 2018, Dr. Hines has also received the Donald Halverstadt Scholarship, John C. Coburn Scholarship, and was inducted in the Gold Humanism Honors Society.
