Front desk ladies are always super sweet, have little to no wait time, and the small waiting space is calm and quiet. I see Dr. Patel for my eye exams and he always listens to my concerns, asks how my lenses and contacts are doing, and provides wonderful suggestions. Overall, wonderful staff, clean and pleasant facility, and great pricing with my insurance.

It's conveniently located at Costco with ample parking. I called ahead and booked an appointment, they were able to get me in within a week of calling. The space is quaint but has everything you need and is well kept and clean. Upon walking in I was immediately welcomed and they actually got me started early with some of the testing before seeing the optometrist. The examination was thorough, I felt the optometrist provided extremely insightful and helpful information- I went in experiencing some pain and am already feeling immensely better!

In short, there have been multiple errors over many months, and I am not seeing LSE own and correct these errors in a reasonable way. I see from other reviews that errors and money grabs are a common theme here. (1) We discussed a specific contact lens Rx in the office, and then the wrong contacts lenses were ordered. When I attempted to reorder, it took months and multiple calls to receive the correct lenses. (2) When I went to fill my glasses Rx, I realized it was the wrong Rx. I called them to correct it, and they said since 60 days had passed, I would need to come back in and pay another $75. I was never even handed a copy of the Rx at the appointment, otherwise I would have realized the error on the spot, and we could have fixed it. They attempted to fix it by putting a random "Add" on the glasses, but I don't use reading glasses. I have asked them to own and correct this error, but they have dug in their heels on charging me another $75. I can't get a new - and correct - Rx for that elsewhere. Thankfully I noticed the error, and then the second error with the Add, or I would have been out hundreds of dollars on glasses I couldn't use.

I was overdue for an eye doctor visit. I found Look + See by searching through my insurance and browsing the yelp reviews. This location is super convenient to me too. I scheduled my appointment online and filled out my paperwork in advance. The store is appointment only, so you ring the bell to enter. The showroom of glasses is a much bigger variety than I've seen other places. They have so many cool, unique, and artistic handmade frames. I loved browsing the glasses and sunglasses. These are one of a kind glasses you will not find anywhere else. The appointment was extremely thorough. I have never had virtual reality goggles on at an eye doctor! They definitely have the newest technology. I also had to pay for an image of my eyeball, which I was happy to do since I was interested. The doctor explained they can see things like high blood pressure based on the veins behind your eyeballs. My eyes were good to go! I got my updated prescription and paid for that eye photograph that wasn't covered by insurance. I decided to get my updated frames online so they'd be covered by my vision stipend toward frames since the ones in the store were all so much more. I would definitely get cool glasses here if I wore them all the time, but since they are mostly used when I am just by myself on the computer or driving, I decided to pass this time. Super easy and no added fees. Great customer service and friendly doctor. I plan on going back for my yearly check ups!

The last time I visited I had a different doctor whose last name was Tran. She had great Google reviews but my experience with her told me a different story.

Shoutout to Amy and Comet at the front desk. The office manager, Rubi is so sweet and her customer service is excellent. Speaking of excellent customer service, April is stellar! She helped me with insurance processing, picking out just the right frames, and getting me all the bells and whistles without any hardcore upselling (I despise going to places for an eye exam where they make you feel almost forced to buy frames from them). I've never felt more at home or been out more at ease. I had some concerns about my right eye and Dr. S. astounded me with her knowledge and again, care.

And unless my memory is failing, his father (Dr. Mitchel Wong) treated my mother's cataracts in the 1980s. I have always been impressed by the state-of-the-art skills and equipment Austin Eye maintains. I'm also impressed that the Wongs have chosen to share their expertise by endowing an eye institute at the University of Texas at Austin. My most recent personal experience with Austin Eye was surgery for lens replacement. While some have derided the facility on Bee Caves Rd as factory-like, I would counter that with the fact that consistent good practices yield consistently good results. I felt well cared for throughout the process, and the results (my excellent recovery and visual acuity) speak for themselves. In the event there had been any problems, I was given Dr. Wong's direct cell number and email. The Austin Eye facility is beautiful, modern, and well-maintained. The same may be said of the older location along Jollyville Rd. I highly recommend Austin Eye for their expertise, state-of-the-art equipment set, and very positive and helpful office staff.

He provided extensive information while answering every question. Dr. John Odette and the supportive post-op optometrists were exceptional, along with the entire staff who provided a definite feeling of security and peace of mind. Post-op eye drops were sent home with me which saved a trip to the pharmacy, giving caregivers a break. Please don't hesitate to see for yourself just how perfect and pleasant Austin Eye is. (My surgery was bilateral cataract removal with lens replacement, for the record.)

They charged me $1245.00 with insurance for a new pair of frames, lenses, and computer lenses for frames I already had. That manager took 1 1/2 hrs to input my prescription. I think he screwed the price and the prescription. Then I pick them up and I see better out of my old glasses than the expensive ones. Now, I have to go pick the glasses up make an appointment with my eye Dr. and then take them back. This has been a bunch of time and gas....oh and by the way I asked for my money back to go elsewhere...NOPE. DO NOT EVER GO THERE WITH THIS NEW MANAGEMENT, he's an ass.

If you're downtown in Austin, and you need their kind of service, you can't go wrong by stopping in here. I hope that I can return someday and find some reason to give them some business.

The optometrist was nice and did her job. They schedule you an appointment for next year. I like that you get a digital copy of your prescription which because of exorbitant prices I took the rx elsewhere. It's not a bad location, easy to get to.

It's a win, win! Most of their frames are only $95, including lenses. Others go up to &175, which is still affordable. Today I went in for my yearly eye exam and to pick out a new pair of glasses. They took me right on time and gave me the eye exam, which was covered under my insurance. The optician was friendly and personable. Unfortunately, the note in my insurance said that I had already used my eyeglass allowance.and was not eligible for a new pair until December. This was a problem with my insurance, and they urged me to call for resolution. So this time I did not choose a new pair, which is always a daunting task to choose from their wide variety of attractive frames. In the past, they've had a lot of patience helping me decide. I took advantage of their fun Photo Booth, which takes 3 shots against a colorful background. Warby Parker is always a pleasant shopping experience. Their eyewear consultants are always helpful, assisting in picking out frames; I'm usually very indecisive and need their expert guidance in choosing the best look. Before I left, Nadia the salesperson offered to clean my glasses (which really needed it!), and they tightened the frames. So I felt like I had a new pair of glasses!
