    Super happy with the new frames!
    Matt H.

    The team at 512 helped me out big time! It'd been 5 years since I'd had my prescription assessed, and 5 years since I'd bought a pair of glasses. (I've got a pretty mild prescription, so I primarily use my glasses for driving and watching movies). Since it'd been so long, I was very grateful that Dr. Langer was patient with me, testing my vision and figuring out my updated prescription (it seems they were able to use the old glasses to assess what the prescription was on them - neat!) And then, she and the receptionist helped me assess the frames options afterward. With their help, I picked out a snazzy pair of Ray-Bans. And who knows: with any luck, these might just last me another 5 years!

    Very bright and clean showroom. I feel fancy being here!
    Ray H.

    The place was very clean and bright. They had a good selection of frames from different brands. The staff was extremely friend and welcoming. I don't know if they are considered low or high cost due to my insurance. They made a boring task of getting an eye exam more tolerable.

I was in professional sales for 30+ years, and I can't believe what retail sales have stooped to. I would fire him in a nanosecond. I went in there believing this was a good, family-owned establishment, with great reviews, only to be met with someone who really shouldn't be there - he had no interest in helping, did not smile one single time. He was cold, aloof, and rude. When I told him I was leaving and WHY I was leaving, he didn't blink an eye - he was completely fine with that. Unreal. Sickening actually. Don't waste your time or energy here. Save yourself some stress and a headache. Find another place, you'll be glad you did. PS. Read the "Negative Reviews" before you decide on this place. Something I did not do, but wish I had. There is a theme running through all of those reviews. I consider them 100% accurate based on my own experience.

The assistant and Dr. Raymond Carneglia explained everything regarding my results. I arrived 5 minutes late and left the clinic about 20 minutes later. Easy, fast and great.

    $268.00 for a contact lens exam…read more That is not a medical bill. That is a ransom note written in optometry ink. Two hundred and sixty-five dollars to look into my skull windows and tell me what shape of plastic disc belongs on my eyeballs. I did not walk into your office expecting a luxury spa treatment for my corneas. I expected a routine contact lens exam -- the same basic exercise I have had before, including through this same business, at roughly a quarter of the price. So when the bill came back at $268, I had the distinct feeling of being mugged in broad daylight by a phoropter. If this exam was going to cost $268, that number should have been made clear before the appointment began. Not whispered through paperwork. Not hidden in a fog of billing codes. Not revealed at the end like the final twist in a bad carnival scam. It should have been stated plainly, directly, and unmistakably: "Before we begin, this contact lens exam will cost $268." Had I heard that sentence, I would have stood up, thanked everyone for their time, and walked directly out the door in search of a business operating somewhere closer to reality. This charge is outrageous. It is excessive, poorly disclosed, and completely unacceptable. No reasonable person would expect a routine contact lens exam to cost $268 unless that price was made brutally clear in advance. I am asking you to review this charge and provide a fair adjustment or refund. And I want to be very clear about what happens if this is brushed off. I will not slink away quietly and absorb this nonsense like a beaten insurance animal. I will share an accurate account of this experience everywhere people look before choosing an eye care provider -- Google, Yelp, Facebook, LinkedIn, neighborhood groups, local forums, and any other digital town square where people still value being warned before they are financially body-slammed over an eye exam. Call it social media shaming if you want. I call it consumer hygiene. I will not lie. I will not exaggerate. I will not invent a single detail. I will simply tell people the truth: I was charged $268 for a contact lens exam, the price was not made clear enough before the appointment, my prior exam through the same business was roughly a quarter of that amount, and I would never have agreed to proceed had I known the cost. This is exactly the kind of customer experience that deserves sunlight, noise, and a long paper trail. Review the charge. Correct it. Explain how a contact lens exam became a $268 ambush.

I have zero experience with glasses and contacts so I did not know where to go and chose Texan Eye Care where I felt they did a thorough job. Needing a checkup a year later, I started reading reviews and Look+See had the highest ratings on Yelp and Google in the '04 area, plus I live right around the corner, so it was a no brainer.

Being equipped with the latest technology, they conducted several eye scans as well as eye tests and I felt comfortable with every member I engaged with. Dr. Bailey was easy to talk to and I appreciated that he talked to me in layman's terms. Thankfully, I do not need more than prescription readers so I purchased a very stylish and affordable pair from their clinic and I'm actually looking forward to wearing them.

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.
