Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our diagnostic evaluations use Optos Retinal Imaging technology to detect eye health issues without pupil dilation. Exams include visual acuity testing, eye pressure measurement, and functional assessments for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Annual testing is recommended for maintaining optimal vision health and correcting refractive errors.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We provide tailored lens solutions for challenging vision conditions including astigmatism, presbyopia, and keratoconus. Options include toric lenses for astigmatism, scleral lenses for corneal irregularities, and rigid gas permeable contacts that offer sharper vision for complex prescriptions while maintaining ocular health.
Designer Eyewear
Our optical collection features over 1,300 frames from renowned designers like Oliver Peoples and Lindberg. Patients receive professional fitting assistance to select stylish, durable eyewear that complements facial structure while meeting prescription requirements for optimal vision correction.
LASIK Co-Management
We provide pre-operative evaluations and post-operative care for LASIK procedures. Our specialists ensure proper candidacy assessment, coordinate with surgical partners, and monitor recovery progress to help patients achieve lasting vision improvement without corrective lenses.
Eye Disease Management
Our optometrists monitor and manage chronic eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy and cataracts. Through regular examinations and collaborative care approaches, we help patients preserve vision while addressing progressive eye health concerns with evidence-based treatment strategies.

Dr. Hutson and the entire team of doctors, staff, and support provide a great customer experience. I found cute glasses and a fair price and am a very happy camper. Highly recommend.

I went to just about every glasses place in Austin looking for the right frames, and these guys had it. A nice selection, and nice range of shapes. I found exactly what I wanted, something stylish but understated. Then I hit my face with the hatchback of a friends car the night before a 3 day workshop. My glasses flew apart! I went in the next morning when they opened, before the workshop started. They got them put back together and saved my weekend. Every encounter I've had there was pleasant. No pushy or snobby sales people, they take my UT vision insurance, and fantastic service.

Dr. Hutson is an accomplished professional.
Dr. Marshall is an accomplished orofessional. They are well versed, current, offer good value eyewear and Texas friendly. If you want eye care, well done, go see Hutson or Marshall. If you want cheap glasses go to the mall or walmart. I have gone to Austin Visions for 25 years. Always good, everytime. Great shop, great staff, accomodating.

I went in today for an 11am appointment I made a month ago. They called yesterday and we both confirmed. I arrived more than five minutes early. At 10 minutes after, they brought me back and did a few quick things. Then, I was told the doctor was at least ten minutes away. No apologies or explanation. I asked them to call him to see how long it would be, as this was the middle of my work day and I knew I had an important call coming up. Five minutes later, the guy came back and said it would be at least 15 minutes, if not more...again, no explanation. I told him I had to leave and I thought this

The doc took his time with you and was very genuine. They had a great selection of eye glasses. However, the exam was $$$ as well as the glasses but I guess you get what you pay for.

I have gotten several pairs of eye glasses from Austin Vision Center over the years and have always been happy with their service and eyewear. In fact, they adjusted my progressive prescription so expertly that I no longer struggle to read and see what I need to see. Another eyewear place totally goofed up my request. The prices are high, but a long lasting frame from expert technicians is worth it.

I got charged the highest fitting fee than anywhere. They forgot to order my contacts and didn't really have a reason why. Their frame selection is very low and the staff is unapologetic when they make appointment mistakes.
