Report
Jeffrey R. Lane had my son's eyes dilated PRIOR to doing his vision test. Then, while answering all of the questions "1 or 2? 3 or 4?" his vision was distorted due to the dilation. As a result, the Rx for his glasses was way off. My son, never having had his eyes dilated before did not think this was right, but didn't question it - had glasses filled elsewhere, and now cannot see from this bad prescription. When we went back to ask for a new exam, Dr. Lane became snippy with him and told him it was basically right. (THEN WHY CAN'T HE SEE? Isn't that the main point of getting a new Rx?) The practice

The Doctor was wonderful, the appointment setting department needs some serious work. They never called me back, it's been 17 days since I left a message! Will not be returning, they've lost my business.

I had very high myopia and when I was looking for a cataract surgeon, I was concerned about the doctor taking enough time to get the measurements right so I would have the best vision after the surgery. I met with Dr. Walters and am very glad I did. He spent time with me discussing mono-vision asking about where I needed to focus for work and activities. He took the time to explain different lens designs and why he selected the ones for me. The surgery was just as described and I was amazed at how well I saw immediately after the operation. The mono-vision works perfectly. I can simply see near

Enjoyed my experience with them. Everyone super nice. I'll just add a note that if you need glaucoma testing be very clear about it. I thought I could get it done along with my annual check up but had to schedule that aside and come back. Going back to get new glasses there!

I am a patient of both Dr. Walters (Opthalmologist) and Dr. Loose, a retina specialist at Texan Eye. It was only a few weeks until my yearly checkup, but I felt pressure and weepiness in my left eye--the same one that had a previous hole in the retina that Dr. Loose expertly repaired. One day before a cruise with my grands, the KIND, WELCOMING STAFF got me in, the SWEET, PATIENT ASSISTANT was efficient, kind, and friendly, and Dr. Walters was everything you want in your doctor! He's the best! This entire office is wonderful. And I will add that ANOTHER OFFICE IN AUSTIN THAT I USED TO GO
