I have worn glasses since I was 2 years old and remember how archaic it was, crying hysterically as a child and having nurses pry my eyes open in order to put in painful eye drops during countless visits. In turn, I have been scarred for life and avoid seeing the eye doctor for as long as possible.
Then came Dr. Slifer at Texas Vision Center. I began seeing her at age 15 in order to obtain contacts for the first time and have seen her almost every year since. She is very calm, gentle, and caring, which puts me at ease when I was haunted for so long.
Now it's been 20 years and I have followed her around town to various locations while she's been growing her business. Her brand new building is very nice, has its own parking, and the hours are accommodating. She patiently gives me loads of trial contacts in order to find a comfortable fit for my astigmatism, suggesting new styles that might be suitable, never making me feel like an annoyance, which I probably am. She'll even squeeze you in for emergencies if necessary. If you need an eye doctor in the area, I HIGHLY recommend this woman. She is a saint for dealing with my decrepit eyes all these years and for taking it all in stride. read more
