Dr. Lisa Martén
Dr. Lisa Martén is the medical director of the South Texas Eye Institute in San Antonio. Dr. Martén joined South Texas Eye Institute after finishing her Cornea and Refractive surgery fellowship at the Wang Vision Institute in Nashville, TN. Dr. Martén attended medical school at Tulane University, and residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center here in San Antonio. Dr. Martén grew up in San José, Costa Rica and came to the US in 1989. She is bilingual in English and Spanish.
Dr. Martén has written several articles on refractive surgery topics as well as contributing to a chapter in the new edition of Yanoff & Duker's Ophthalmology textbook.
Dr. Martén has an interest in several recently developed refractive surgery techniques, including All-laser Lasik, PRK, Implantable Contact Lenses, and Intacs for Keratoconus. She also performs corneal transplants, and is trained in IEK (Intralase Enabled Keratoplasty), which uses the femtosecond laser to create the corneal button. Another new procedure, DSEK, which removes the diseased part of the cornea only, is available at South Texas Eye Institute.

NOTICE OF RETIREMENT
Over the past 47 years it has been an honor and a privilege to serve as a physician in many capacities and in many areas of the world. I initially served in the U.S. Army for twenty years and then after additional training began a practice of Ophthalmology here in San Antonio in 1988.
I am retiring from the active practice of Ophthalmology at the end of April 2010. As many of you know Dr. Lisa Marten purchased this practice two years ago, and it has been a privilege and an enjoyment to work with her. I have every confidence that if you wish to continue your eye care at the South Texas Eye Institute that you will be in good hands and pleased with her care. She is a caring Fellowship trained Corneal and Refractive Surgery Ophthalmologist, but practices Comprehensive Ophthalmology.
Most importantly I want to thank you for entrusting the care of your eyes to me over all these past twenty-two years. Again it has been my great honor to have you as my patient for I am the one who has benefited and learned the most. God bless you.
