    I first found Eyes of Texas Laser Center through Reddit recommendations. I compared this place…read morewith several other popular places in Austin but found Dr. Shawn Wong to be my favorite from an online perspective. So, I decided that my first consultation would be at Eyes of Texas. The entire staff is not only friendly but very informative. It was difficult to ask questions because everything was covered from the start. Dr. Wong is clearly extremely passionate and knowledgeable about his work. I immediately knew that he is who I would trust to take care of my eyes. My surgery was yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the process or results so far. I am really looking forward to the end of the healing process. My only regret is not doing this 10 years ago. I highly recommend that if you are considering getting LASIK surgery to visit Eyes of Texas and Dr. Wong. I was shown the operation room and a comment was made that there was a piece of equipment in there that looked like R2D2. I'm now convinced that Dr. Wong is the Yoda of LASIK. Thank you all for taking care of me.

    I called several places in regards to my cataract surgery. I found after talking to Janie (part of…read morethe amazing front staff team) I felt a lot more confident about setting up an appointment. She told me Dr Wong was very good at spending time with his patients. She was right. He explained very thoroughly my options and what he suggested based upon my situation. This gave me confidence in my decision. Surgery was better than expected, mainly because his pre-op person did a great job explaining what to expect and being coached and encouraged by Dr Wong all thru the procedure. It's not easy going thru this but his consistent encouragement makes it 100% better. All the staff are professional, friendly and on it. I've already recommended them to friends. Come see for yourself.

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.

I recommend highly this dedicated, professional, informative and cheerful group of individuals, starting with Hayden, the happy person who set my journey on a joyful course. 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.)

Dr. Dooner is among the latter; an exceptionally skilled and forward thinking surgeon. He's gone where other doctors refused to go, and given me sight that I never imagined possible. --------------- I have had eye problems since birth. Congenital cataracts weren't readily treated in infants in 1974. I also have microcornea which creates added challenges. But my parents stubbornly sought out a surgeon who was willing to do what he could. And while the outcome after six operations with complications was far better than expected, time took its toll and the relatively normal life I have led had become an exhausting charade that I could no longer maintain. After the original operations, I wore high powered hard contact lenses over frozen off-centered pupils. Light was too bright, dark was too dark, and if I didn't squint enough my lenses would drift and cause one object to look like six. Along the way, I had posterior vitreous detachments in both eyes which caused cobwebs and smears to obstruct my vision. I also developed glaucoma. Over the years, I saw many ophthalmologists. From Atlanta, to New York City to Baltimore, there was no shortage of reputable doctors. I would comment on symptoms that were troublesome, but I was never offered any potential solutions. Mostly I was told I had a difficult case, and to take the glaucoma drops and come back for pressure checks. More than one said something along the lines of "What do you want from me? You just need a glaucoma specialist" One said "I don't know why you can even see." Not hopeful to say the least. Flash forward - I moved to Austin in 2019 and eventually found a great glaucoma specialist. When I asked him if there were any options for my other conditions, I expected to hear "No" yet again. Instead he confidently referred me to Dr Dooner. Less than two weeks after my initial visit with him, Dr Dooner operated on my left eye. I had a vitrectomy, a lens implant and my pupil enlarged and centered. Six weeks later I had the same done on my right eye. These surgeries have been nothing short of life changing. Not only have all the symptoms I was struggling with been cured, but the sight I have now is better than ever. Also, I have hope now. For a while, I felt that medicine would leave me behind. Now, because of Dr Dooner, I feel like I can embrace possibility again. Oh and he's also a really nice down to earth guy and a caring doctor. Couldn't ask for more.
