This is the 2nd time I've come to have them to help me located and remove my hard-gas permeable contact. I was able to get the appoint quickly as I tried myself to located and dislodge with no success after 24 hours., the doctors and the staff quickly addressed the issue and I was out in 15 minutes at a reason price. That's a sign of a quality caring office

I went to get an exam and was charged $180 for an exam that was supposed to be $10. I went in and had my exam for The receptionist to tell me I didn't have eye insurance when in fact I did. I told her avesis then she proceeded to say no you don't have insurance. I call avesis and they said West Houston Eye wasn't in the network But I did still have an active policy. The receptionist never said that. She knew all of this information prior to me getting my eye exam and said nothing. DO NOT GO HERE! They will give you the service then charge you and outrageous price. They only offered

West Houston Eye did a very thorough job of prepping me for my exam after this dreaded virus has hit. They ask you series of profile questions before coming in and give you a bag for belongings and were taking extra attention to sanitary measures while maintainting social distance. You can still try on glasses and they keep them to sterized them after you have taken them off. I felt safe and that all attention to detail of cleanliness was excellent.
