I am still wearing glasses. That contract mentions that you might end up with glasses even after the correction. I went from a -1.5 before correction to a +1.5 after correction. So now 70% of the time I am wearing glasses as opposed to 70% of the time not wearing glasses. Told all my family that it's not worth it unless you are really impacted like -3.00 read more

I have wanted LASIK for so very long. After a recent annual eye exam I decided to go for it. I am thoroughly impressed. I am about 4 weeks post LASIK right now. The consultation was fairly quick and very informative. Scheduling was a breeze and they set up all of my pre and post appointments to coordinate with my work schedule. The surgery itself only took a few minutes. I can now see perfectly and have had no recovery issues. They are taking Covid precautions. You can expect to be the only patient in the waiting room and no additional people are allowed in with you. My mom took me to my surgery and they walked me out to her car afterward. I highly recommend Eye LASIK Austin If you are an educator or first responder ask for the additional discount! read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience here. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. My procedure was so fast and pain free!

Had a very poor experience with the front desk team, who inflated the price of the surgery to $6000, then told me they could reduce it to $4600 if I purchased a Groupon. I called back and advised then that there were no active Groupons available and they said "that's okay, we can just drop the price because you mentioned it." Really?? So why quote the $6k rate in the first place? This is the very definition of a scam. Ended up having my surgery at another place (Dr. Wong) where they quoted me $4800 up front, no shady business at all. Very happy with the results and very happy I didn't go with the lying LASIK team. read more

Stacie & Dr. Pham were friendly & pleasant before my boyfriend got LASIK. The facility was comfortable in the waiting area. I was able to be with him the entire time. They also gave us free shirts for checking in on here! The surgery only took 10 minutes. The billing process was quick and easy. read more

Eye LASIK Austin - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - Austin, Texas

A friend mentioned someone asking for recommendations and she told her about my experience here, but I figured it might be a good idea to let the rest of you in on how I feel about it 4 years later! I have had zero issues since my surgery. Vision is still clear! I will say the warning about "halos" around headlights is a pretty good indication of the worst side affect I've experienced. They tell you that's completely normal...and it's true. Lights are just brighter it seems like. But that's all I can tell you about the cons of this operation. I don't regret it not one bit! good luck with whatever you decide! read more

So, I am considering LASIK and have been visiting three different offices for comparison shopping. I want to see the staff, equipment, evaluate the equipment used and listen to what they have to say. I completed my three visits including eye test and eye dilation for each. Result for Eye LASIK Austin.... while the staff were friendly and they welcomed me by name, that was great and made me feel important. However, from there it seemed very automated and impersonal really. You had to watch a bunch of videos about 8 of them for 15 minutes. This would have been better coming from a live person to answer questions along the way. Then when the video is over a staff member comes in and basically tells you the same stuff, like you just slept thru the previous 15 minutes of videos. So, once this was done he talks price. When I made the appointment for the eye consultation I watched a 12 minute video (yes another video) that supposedly qualified me for a $2000 discount. Now here comes the deal... they say the basic cost for LASIK is $6400 and because I watched their promotional video my cost would be $4400. Hmmm The national average for LASIK is (blade-less wavefront tech) is $2300 per eye. So in the end their prices are over charged prior to applying their promotional discount. Savings of only $200 off national average. Do you math, go to at least three providers to compare!!! read more

I waffled on whether or not to get LASIK for a full two years. Finally, after relocating from DC to Austin, my new eye doctor recommend Eye LASIK Austin and I figured I'd at least have an initial consultation. Eye LASIK Austin runs like a well-oiled machine. The initial consultation covered all my questions in video form, so I could watch and rewatch the bits I was most curious/concerned about and not feel bad about asking a person to repeat themselves. Then Johan came in and answered any remaining questions I had in person. They confirmed I was a good candidate and we booked my surgery and all surrounding appointments within the next month, which was convenient and also prevented me from overthinking my decision and chickening out. The day of the surgery the office was again running like a well-oiled machine. I think they said they typically complete 13 surgeries on a surgery day. Dr. Walters was calm and reassuring before and during the surgery. Prep was quick and seamless and the surgery itself took less than 15 minutes. The after-surgery instructions they provided were clear and easy to follow. My healing has been totally smooth too, with minimal dryness or halos. All in all, I had a seamless experience and am so glad I finally got over my fear and proceeded with surgery at Eye LASIK Austin. read more

I had a consultation at Eye LASIK a few weeks ago. Eye LASIK has a complicated pricing system and was a rather bland experience. The staff seems to rely on you watching 9 videos (no kidding, NINE) on an iPad and then offering you all their "specials". Felt a little scamy. They have a Groupon. Don't buy it. The receptionist advised me to do so, before my consultation. No refunds. I just lost $80! Eye Lasik did not apologize and told me that their staff would never tell me to buy it. Also, during my consultation the employee told me that they will offer me that deal WITHOUT purchasing the Groupon. "Just mention that you saw it and we will give you the deal". What?! You do NOT even meet with a surgeon during your consultation. I would strongly recommend shopping around before choosing a place for your surgery. Don't get sucked into the "specials" that Eye Lasik has to offer. It's crap. I'm very happy I went with **Austin Eye** for my surgery. Austin Eye was professional, upfront with the pricing and everyone was very knowledgable about the entire process. I met with the surgeon (Dr. Odette) every time I have an appointment (pre- and post-op). read more

I just had my iLASIK procedure completed yesterday by Dr. Walters. The experience was simply amazing! The staff was very informative and helpful from start to finish. Dr. Walters explained the entire procedure prior to the surgery, and then walked me through it during. He was very reassuring, and the procedure was complete before I even knew it. Today, the day after, my vision is extremely clear! I am so very pleased with Dr. Walters and all of the staff of Eye Lasik Austin. They greatly exceeded my expectations! I'd highly recommend their services to anyone! read more

Just on my 2nd week after my LASIK surgery done at this center. The facilities are well maintained and nicely outfitted. The staff are cordial and knowledgeable. My operation went smoothly with the guidance and skill of Dr. Walters and his techs. I was referred here by my optometrist and post-ops showed great recovery in both the quality of my vision and the health of my eyes. I'm still getting used to the effects on nocturnal vision but the overall experience at this center was highly positive. My thanks goes out to them for helping me let go of my glasses (which I still instinctively try to find). read more

This experience has been absolutely amazing. The staff is very informative and Dr. Walters was very welcoming and comforting during the surgery. They provided a stuffed animal named Lucy the LASIK bear and it was just the added comfort i needed to make the experience perfect. The very next day i had my follow-up appointment with Stars in Your Eyes with Dr. Wright and my vision was 20/15!! My flap was perfectly healed with no signs of dryness. I am so happy with this company and strongly recommend this surgery to anyone who is hesitant. Cost should not be a factor, these are your eyes, only the best will do and these guys are the best in the biz!!! Thank you again Eye LASIK i will recommend you with flying colors :) read more

I already knew about the wonderful technology that is LASIK surgery, but can you really get a Lasik deal from Groupon and think it's going to turn out ok? I was a bit skeptical. Well luckily, I bought that Groupon not knowing anything about Eye LASIK Austin and I'm so happy I did! The staff was extremely helpful - from the first consultation through to the end of the 15 minute procedure. My regular eye doctor was not a part of their network, but that wasn't a problem. Chad, the Office Manager at Eye LASIK Austin, went to my regular eye doctor and took care of everything. My regular eye doctor was so impressed. As it turns out, Dr. Tom Walters is one of 3 - best known, most experienced LASIK surgeons in Austin. He and his staff were amazing! If you're interested or thinking about getting LASIK done - go to Eye LASIK Austin, and if you can get LASIK done for your eyes - do it!! Everyone has different experiences/results, but it's so worth it....and overall, the results are fantastic! My experience was awesome, and it's only been a week! I trusted Eye LASIK Austin with my eyes...and that's a big deal! But go to Eye LASIK Austin - you will certainly get what you pay for and you won't regret it! read more

I'm here to add another five star review for Eye LASIK Austin. I had the procedure done over two months ago, and now I'm enjoying not wearing glasses or contacts during the summer heat and allergy season shenanigans. I was scared to get lasik because it is a truly terrifying prospect to get surgery on one's eyes. I took a lot of comfort in the efficient, procedural, and kind way I was treated at Eye Lasik (I asked a lot of stupid questions and was not made fun of). It was clear that the staff knows what they are doing, and they do a ton of successful surgeries all the time. They tell you everything that is going to happen in advance, more than once if necessary, and then it all unfolds like they say. After some healing time, during which you can make whoever is around get you things and make you food, you can wake up in the morning on a camping trip without worrying about glasses or contacts in the woods, or you can stay up late and not have to go to bed because your contacts are dry and sucking your eyeballs out of your head, and you can go water skiing without losing one of your contacts and having to wink at everybody the rest of the day, etc. No more sore spots on your nose where glasses dig in. It's expensive, but I would pay double for being able to see all the time. read more

I had the i-LASIK procedure done yesterday, and WOW! today I can see like I am wearing my contacts...this after 40 (yes 40) years of glasses & contacts. There is no pain and really no discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Walters and his staff calmly talk to you as they go through each step, and in about 15 minutes you are completely through and walking out the door. My husband watched the entire procedure through the glass and he thought is was fascinating. It is more like an eye exam than surgery. You go home and keep your eyes closed for about another 7-8 hours, I just napped, and there is a bit of discomfort, but not really anything to complain about. When the numbing drops wear off you have about an hour of feeling like you got soap in your eyes, but it literally goes away like they say it does, and then that's about it. I had mine done in the morning, and by evening I could see things in the distance fairly clearly, but when I got up this morning, it was like I had new eyes. Dr. Walters and his staff are wonderful. They make sure you understand everything before the procedure, what is going to happen during the procedure, and what to do after the procedure. You feel calm & safe & confident. After taking several years to decide to have this done i wish i had done it sooner! read more

Can't recommend these guys highly enough! Only 3 days after my procedure and I feel like a whole new person - vision is 100% clear. The surgery itself was fast, painless, and I was in and out before I knew it. Compared to other centers they were professional, affordable, and very friendy/laid-back. I would strongly recommend anyone considering LASIK to come to Eye Lasik Austin. read more

I had my procedure a few days ago and I am so impressed with my new eye sight. The procedure and technology were flawless. The doctors and assistants were wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. Top of the line technology. I was in the best hands for this procedure that I think I could have ever been in . read more

I had ASA/PRK (a LASIK alternative for people with certain impediments to traditional LASIK - in my case, thin corneas) at Eye LASIK Austin about three weeks ago to correct extreme nearsightedness. I was impressed by the modern, high-end equipment, the professionalism of the staff, and their thorough knowledge of the procedure. Everything went exactly as they explained. The surgery by Dr. Walters was extremely fast and only mildly uncomfortable. As the healing times for ASA/PRK are much longer than those for LASIK, my vision continues to improve. I'm now regularly able to read most of the 20/20 line on the eye chart, and it should only get better from here. I'm sure you can get cheaper laser eye surgery, but, with something this important, I think it'd be foolish to trust it to anyone but the best. read more

Good customer service, however I'm back in glasses less than two year later and have been disappointed with my experience overall. I was first concerned when I went for my final measurements before surgery and the technician took twice as long to measure my right eye as my left eye - that should have been a warning sign. Turns out that my right eye ultimately was in fact slightly under-corrected during surgery to the point where even after I should have been fully healed a few months after the procedure, I needed glass to drive. I have pretty annoying halos and glare at night or for example when watching white text on a black screen. Now I'm back in glasses full time with one eye at -.5 and the other -.75. When I went back to Eye Lasik Austin to ask about an enhancement, they agreed that one eye would still need correction but told me that their equipment had not detected the need for correction in the stronger eye, that it was probably just "dry." After months of eyedrops and fish oil, I still sensed that something was wrong and after checking with my optometrist, sure enough, his measurements showed that both eyes were in fact weaker than -.5 and should have been noted for correction. Now I'm just not confident in the ability of Eye Lasik Austin to accurately asses and correct my vision. Even if I were to go back for a "touch up" - I'm afraid that something will go wrong again leaving me with less cornea and further need for correction or that my halos will get worse. It really bums me out because they had such great reviews, but maybe if you have a stronger prescription (mine was about -6.5 in both eyes) this place is not for you. Now I'm just out the money (they won't respond to my request for a refund) and still have to keep paying for glasses. Perhaps I just have the worst luck, but I can't really recommend this place based on my experience. read more

I've been thinking about getting lasik for 2-3 years now and then I saw a deal on moolala and did a little research on these guys and Dr. Walters, I'm an interwebz geek and linux admin so of course I know how to do my research on things through the web. Grabbed the deal before it expired and started saving some cash up since the coupon itself didn't expire for almost a year. Finally got the money and went in for a consultation. After wearing glasses since I was in 3rd grade I was pretty stoked to finally get rid of them. The staff are very nice people and Dr. Walters was kind and explained what was going on during the procedure step by step. I felt no pain, pinch or other negative sensory experience. Once it was over I saw the "haziness" I was told about after (kind of like a halo effect) but was already able to read things from far away. Once I got home I slept a bit, slept some more, then some more, (it's advisable to just stay up the night before so you can sleep right after surgery is over). A day later, I feel great, a little dryness, I can't really stare at the computer for very long but I can function otherwise for the most part, I'm still a little sensitive and wearing sunglasses to go to my follow up visit and when I went to the store to pick up some extra eyedrops. I can't wait until my eyes have fully healed, I'd recommend this procedure and Eye Lasik Austin to anyone that would ask about it. read more

Quickly updating about a year post-procedure, and am happy to report that I'm still rocking 20/20 vision. I experienced dry eyes for probably a few months post procedure - not too serious, but needed drops a couple times a day for comfort. I still use them once or twice a day, most-needed first thing in the a.m. Halos for at least a few weeks, but not long enough to be notable (in fact, I mostly noticed that I didn't notice them anymore after awhile). Most notably, even after wearing significant correction for 30 years, there might be days or weeks at a time now where I don't even think about my vision, it's just a new fact of life that I can see well. I think that says about as much as I can say. Thanks again to the Eye LASIK team! read more

This place was recommended by my eye doc at Stars in your Eyes on Congress. I was very nervous going into this surgery (lasers cutting your eyes open?!), and during it. They talk you through it and it does not take long at all. I did have visible blood in my eyes for 2-3 weeks. Apparently that happens sometimes but not to everyone. It is a bruise, but since there isn't skin there it looks bright red. gross. didn't have any problems with pain or infection though. I could see perfectly on the first day, which is the best I could ask for from LASIK. It is now 5-6 months later, and I can still see perfectly! read more

I got my Lasik done by Eye LASIK Austin earlier last year. I found them through QualSight LASIK, which provides discounted LASIK through their network of doctors. It turned out to be a pretty good deal money-wise, and I had a great experience through the entire process. Eye LASIK Austin definitely has their routine down with regard to pre-appointments, surgery, and post-appointments. I felt well-prepped when going into the actual surgery, and it was over within a few minutes. I still see halos around lights at night, but I had that problem before the surgery and Eye LASIK Austin was very clear that LASIK would not fix that for me. My eyes also still get a bit dry depending on the light/humidity. Other than that, the results have been great! As someone who has had glasses or contacts since the 5th grade, being able to see is the most amazing experience! I definitely recommend Eye LASIK Austin! read more

I had LASIK about a month ago and couldn't be happier. The staff and the experience at Eye Lasik Austin was very pleasant. The actual procedure is amazingly fast. They walk you through each step and describe what you're experiencing exactly, which was really helpful to keep you relaxed. You just need to keep still, breathe and enjoy the experience as it's over in just a few minutes. I was literally walking out of the office 15 minutes after the procedure started. I drove myself to my checkup the next morning. There was no pain and really very little discomfort. I'm now 20/20 and 20/15 and I have had no issues with recovery or side effects. My vision is at least as good as my glasses were without all the associated hassle. I'd do it again in an instant. read more

I had lasik in October 2013. While my vision improved it is not 20/20 or better. It is around 20/60. Be careful and don't get involved in all the hype about lasik. It doesn't work for everyone. The staff here are great. read more

One year later - I still am glad I went to ELA for my operation. The office staff is super friendly, very informative, and does a great job of informing you with all you need to make the right decision. They are very low-pressure on the sales pitch. Without getting into much detail, there are two heavy-hitters in Austin when it comes to LASIK. I did go to the "other" company first and had a horrible experience with their front desk. They were unenthusiastic, catty, and rude - all in the span of about 30 seconds, the time it took to get the potential new patient paperwork. Wow. I turned about-face and headed over to Eye Lasik Austin on the advice of a friend/opthalmologist, and everything was perfect. read more

I am at a month post-op and some change and am thrilled with the results of my LASIK procedure. I felt 1000% informed and was very impressed by how much knowledge I had on the procedure & risks, as well as the pre and post op instructions. ...My vision is 20/15. No glasses. I am young enough that I shouldn't need to worry about reading glasses for a nice handful of years to come. I had foreign body sensation and itchiness for about 4 days, dry eyes for about a week and light halos for about two weeks. Those things were all pretty common and to be expected so I felt confident they would resolve quickly. That has all completely cleared up at this point so I am just as normal as can be. People keep asking me if I have dry eyes and I don't at all, haven't used drops of any kind for nearly 3 weeks. I highly recommend Eye LASIK Austin! read more

I got Lasik done at Eye Lasik Austin about 1.5 weeks ago and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested in the procedure! My husband got his Lasik done here about five years ago. I got to watch them do his surgery; it went perfectly and he still has 20/15 vision! So that obviously made me less nervous about the whole thing. But the staff at Eye Lasik Austin also helped in that respect. They explain the science behind the procedure in an informative but not overwhelming way and they were very patient with my millions of questions. The procedure itself was totally painless and the doctor and assistant talk you through everything that's happening, which helped eliminate some of my nerves. The surgery was definitely mentally taxing, because you are aware of everything that is going on, but it was very short. It took 15 minutes max to do both of my eyes. One thing I would note is that you can smell the laser while it is doing it's work, and the burning smell is certainly a little unsettling. My husband forewarned me about this so I was expecting it, but I feel like that is something they should probably tell all of the patients beforehand so you aren't freaking out when you smell it. After it was over, I took some Nyquil at 4pm and slept until 8:30 the next morning! So not only did I get an excuse to get an AWESOME nights sleep, when I woke up, I could see everything!! As someone who has had HORRIBLE vision since the 2nd grade, this was very exciting!! I have had two post-op appts since and my vision is now 20/15! My eyes are a little dry every now and then, but nothing eye drops can't fix. As for the price, I found a Groupon that took 2k off the total cost. It is still a chunk of change, for sure, but I think it is worth the price. And honestly, if it was any cheaper than the few thousand I paid at Eye Lasik Austin, I would be concerned about the quality of the work. I am 100% satisfied that I finally made this a priority and 100% satisfied with the result I got from Eye Lasik Austin. read more

Consult Rating: Everyone gets 5 stars for professional friendly prompt service! 5 stars for clean well organized office. 5 stars for saving paper by using iPads for check-in and videos. Now 3 stars for pricing. read more

the BEST Decision of my life!! The staff was extremely professional and attentive and took care of me every step of the way. This is one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had and I don't regret it one bit! read more

My whole experience from start to finish at Eye LASIK Austin was AMAZING! The staff is awesome and they were all extremely helpful. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and I was able to get in and out in an hour. They weren't able to correct me all the way (I had horrible vision and thin corneas); however, I am amazed by the difference! No regrets here...would definitely recommend them for anyone who is considering vision correction surgery! read more

I had my iLASIK procedure 2 months ago, and I couldn't be happier with the results AND the care I got from Dr. Walters and his team. Chad and Erin were extremely informative on the front end, answering every question and advising me before my surgery. On the day of my surgery, everyone was super comforting, keeping me calm and confident. If you're considering going to one of the "bargain" LASIK shops, I highly recommend you go with Eye LASIK Austin instead. Odds are your results will be the same, but the quality of pre and post-op care is truly what sets them apart from their competitors. read more

My whole experience at Eye LASIK Austin was awesome. The staff was so nice and professional. The facility is gorgeous and state of the art. I am thrilled with my new vision. I definitely made the right choice when I decided on Eye LASIK Austin! I will tell all of my friends that are in considering LASIK to only use Eye LASIK Austin because they are truly the best! read more

Dr. Walters is phenomenal. Lasik can be a somewhat scary experience, but Eye Lasik Austin does an incredible job keeping you comfortable and informed every step of the way. As soon as I went in for my initial consult, I was out of contacts and into my glasses the next day in preparation for my procedure date. Things moved along smoothly and quickly. I am nearly 10 months post Lasik, and my vision has never been better. So happy I chose Eye Lasik Austin for my procedure! read more

I was unsure about spending the money to get LASIK - it's not a cheap purchase - but I took the plunge and it was SO worth it! The staff was friendly and helpful, the procedure was fast and professional, and I felt comfortable throughout. I highly recommend them, and am so pleased with my results. Thanks guys! read more

Lasik went very well yesterday! I had my follow up this morning and my vision is better than 20/20, closer to 20/15! I am very pleased with the results and would recommend it to anyone who is a good candidate. Thanks Eye Lasik Austin & Dr. Walters! read more

I got Lasik surgery from Eye Lasik a little over a month ago and I am loving it! The service was very professional, the pre- and post- op directions were made extremely care. They made sure I knew exactly what was about to happen and the risks involved. I highly recommend using Eye Lasik Austin. read more

I did my research on lasik centers around Austin and found this one to be the best in service and most economical. The doctors and assistants there are top notch. And I am very pleased with my lasik surgery I received there. I highly recommend them! read more

Got my eyes done last year! Great care and service! Thank you Chad and the staff at Eye Lasik Austin!! Of course a big thanks to Dr. Restivo, who did my surgery!! read more

"Perfect!" That's the first word out of my physicians mouth when she saw me for my 24 hr follow up. Staff and procedure were flawless. I was driving the next morning and everything was clear. Following post procedure care directions is critical and has lead to proper healing. I'm starting on week 3 and have no complaints. Vision is somewhere between 20/20 and 20/15 leaning towards 20/15 which is where I hope to end up. read more
