Get to know Ophthalmologist Dr. Christopher Majka, who serves patients in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Dr. Majka is a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist specializing in cataract and laser surgery, laser vision correction, cornea, glaucoma, diabetes, and comprehensive ophthalmology. He founded the Texas Eye Care Network as a Center for Excellence to give “Good Vision to All Who Enter”. 

Recognizing that vision is precious, Dr. Majka has built both a team and a surrounding network to give each patient the very best in care, excellence, and efficiency. He has extensive experience in all areas of eye surgery, having performed over 15,000 vision correction procedures.

A pioneer in his field, he brings many new technologies and techniques to South Texas in the areas of corneal transplantation, MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery), amniotic membrane therapy, dry eye therapy, and ocular surface restoration. He specializes in minimally invasive techniques to preserve and restore vision. Specifically, no-stitch/no-shot cataract surgery, corneal transplants without any sutures, sutureless amniotic membrane grafting, and in-office ocular surface restoration. He developed a specialized process and protocol for Minimally Invasive Laser Vision Correction (MILVC) that blends the best attributes of different styles of laser vision correction with the goals of short- and long-term outcomes and stability with the elimination of glasses/contact lenses. 

On the subject of his academic career, Dr. Majka skipped several years in school and graduated from an accelerated MD training program in Ohio. He then went on to complete a residency in ophthalmology at the prestigious Kresge Eye Institute in Michigan. Following this, he pursued a fellowship in cornea, complex cataracts, external/ocular surface disease, and refractive surgery at the world-renowned Duke University in North Carolina. 

From 2012 until 2018, the doctor served as the Chief of Ophthalmology for the Christus Spohn Hospital System. He also earned board certification in ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology, whose mission is to serve the public by improving the quality of ophthalmic practice through a process of certification and Maintenance of Certification that fosters excellence and encourages continual learning. 

In addition to being a Fellow of American Academy of Ophthalmology, he is a member of the Texas Medical Association, the Nueces County Medical Society, the American Medical Association, and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. 

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.

With a heart to care for those in need, Dr. Majka has donated his time and expertise on numerous international mission trips. For his clinical expertise, he is the recipient of Compassionate Doctor Award – 5 Year Honoree (2020), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020), On-Time Doctor Award (2016, 2018, 2020), and Patients’ Choice Award (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020).

When not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife, Tressa, and children, Hartley and Max.
