If you want stylish glasses AND amazing service and customer care then just go to Eyecare Essentials. I went to a dozen shops including all of the ones on So Congress and Eyecare Essentials had the best inventory. Sometimes you're not sure if a frame looks good on you... no prob. They'll be honest about why it is/isn't working for you! But their service is simply amazing. Dakota cares! They remember your name and order even when you walk through the door months later. They are handy with insurance and help you get the most you can from your plan. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Eyecare Essentials - Optometrists Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

Last year, I visited Dr. Bari after my previous eye doctor misdiagnosed me for some time. My eye surgeon recommended Eyecare Essentials to me. Making an appointment is easy, and they are open on Saturdays. The doctor is very approachable and treats patients in a relaxed manner. Additionally, their follow-up care is excellent. The front desk staff has remained consistent during the two years I have been visiting, and they are very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking in the Galleria area. Their frame prices are reasonable as well. Glad I found Eyecare Essentials and hope Dr. Bari practices for a while. read more

The doctor was amazing, staff was super accommodating and they even fixed my glasses when i ordered my contacts! Love it!

I was in and out in 30 minutes with exam, new RX, and new glasses ordered. Competent and helpful staff.

Love Eyecare Essentials in Bee Cave! I sent my entire family here for care. They are always so friendly and helpful. Great selection of eyewear. read more

I've had 20/20 vision my entire life until... Suddenly I didn't. Damn you Father Time!!! Dr. Barit and staff are fantastic!! They got me a comprehensive eye exam, worked easily with my insurance and had me off with my new specs and contacts in a jiffy. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Barit and his staff were very professional and kind. I felt well taken care of during my visit. Gail read more

I first contacted Eyecare Essentials and made an apt. Many good reviews on Yelp so I was happy to see I was confident enough to visit this location. As I entered I was greeted by the desk representative. Very friendly then greeted by the Doctor she is gifted on knowledge eased my fear and even gave me a sample for my eye condition. I asked her questions and eagerly answered my questions intelligently and with knowledge. I highly recommend this location for though exams. Parking easy access and great location. Excellent services and happy with results. read more

I meant to review this EyeCare facility last year upon moving to this area/Texas from out of state. Just finished 2nd "annual" eye exam and am just so impressed with the quality of professionalism and ease with Dr. Barit and his office staff. I'm not sure why in decades past eye care was such an issue but it is no longer with EyeCare Essentials....and that is so nice! read more

From the front office to Dr Nolan the experience is unique and personalized. My family and I come here every year for our yearly check up and for all our eye's essential. I recommend Dr Nolan to all my family and friends. read more

My allergies were near unbearable and the desk was able to schedule me for the next day. Dr. Barit and his staff were professional and informative. There was steady foot traffic so I figure this is a busy office with happy clients. I'll be back for my annual exam. read more

It's very rare to find a physician like Dr. Barit and his wonderful staff. Both my parents and I have been patients of Dr. Barit for many years. He and his staff are always accommodating for any eyeglasses adjustments or even addressing general vision questions. Such great care, service and patient satisfaction are just not available at big box vision centers or even other practices I had used in the past. Thus, it should be no surprise Eyecare Essentials receives so many highly rated reviews. read more

Dr. Barit and the staff at Eyecare Essentials are the best at what they do! Myself, my husband and my two adult sons have been patients for over 10 years now. The quality of care and assistance from the staff is top-notch. They truly want you to be satisfied with your decision on eyewear and contacts. When I switched to bifocals, it was an adjustment, but they were happy to accommodate me anytime I stopped in the clinic. I even remember them mailing contacts to my son's college address and helping him get a rebate. They are always friendly and want to assist you with all your eye care needs. You won't be disappointed in the selection of frames, in all price ranges and brand names. If you want a friendly atmosphere, quality care, and a personalized experience, give Eyecare Essentials a try and you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is amazing and I highly recommend it. Dr. Barit was recommended to me by a friend and he did not disappoint. The staff is very friendly and you don't have to spend forever in the waiting room when you arrive for your appointment. I.e. he's on time! Which is great for a doctor. He spends the time with you to understand your needs and has all the latest equipment. He also is very helpful with contact recommendations and gives you multiple samples to try out different brands. Best part is that he even has Saturday hours! That seems unreal for a doctor and is much appreciated. I highly recommend his office if ever looking for a new optometrist. It's a one-stop shop as he also has frames and sunglasses in the front. It's nice not having to take my script to a different location for those. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Barit for many years now. He always makes sure that I'm 100% happy with my glasses and has sent them back for adjustment/replacement several times at no additional charge. He really goes above and beyond to make sure his patients are happy. read more

Dr. Barit is brilliant! He always gets it right. His staff are friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Once I was out of town and I forgot my extra contacts. Gillian (the manager) made it happen and I had contacts the next day. I 100% recommend this practice! read more

Dr Barit is a life changer. He fitted me for contacts when others have failed in the past. I suppose professing my love for him in his lobby was a bit much... but whatever. He is thoughtful and professional. He was also great with my kids! read more

Eyecare Essentials - Optometrists Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Barit for several years. The office is tucked away on the other side of the Hill Country Galleria. Right next to Ulta/Marshalls/BestBuy area. The chocolate colored floors make the space warm and trendy. The ladies up front are friendly and helpful. Dr. Barit is professional and straight forward. He gets us in and out of our appointment quick and easily. They carry a fair amount of frames, nothing too crazy to the point where you're sick of trying on every single one. From what I remember they have Kate Spade, Gucci, Fossil, RayBan, Banana Republic, Jimmy Choo, MK, and some crazy line that is made of titanium. The display has a 5lb weight hanging off of it to show the durability. oooo and aaaaaaah. They also have sunglasses. Frames take longer than I'd like about a 1-1.5 weeks. I don't know what the average time is because I've been coming here for so long that's the norm for us. Today we discovered they include a built-in insurance for any frames/lens that get damaged. So far we're happy- so why change that? Thanks Eyecare Essentials! read more

Great service, easy exam, 100% current medical devices and consultation. Dr Barit is relaxed and professional. He remembers me and my needs year to year. The frames in-house are gorgeous with prices in every category. Even the sunglasses are great, Maui Jim, Ray Ban, all the top brands bought to wear or made into corrective lenses. The staff is friendly and helpful. Thanks y'all for keeping up the good work and being a business and a doctor I trust year after year. read more

I've had multiple eye exams and prescriptions glasses filled by Eyecare Essentials and my experiences have been +100%. What places Eyecase Essentials above the rest is the extra care & service by the team. Jillian Parvin and staff has gone above and beyond; through email exchanges to insure my sunglass frames & prescriptions are perfect, and by fixing my broken nose bridge at no charge with a smile this team puts customers first. Great selection of frames, courteous staff and superior service. Can I give 10 stars? read more

Dr. Barit is a lifesaver! I struggled with blurry vision issues on and off for years and years and talked to many optometrists about it. I always got the shoulder shrug and shoo. Dr. Barit was able to connect it to an allergic reaction and got me set up with daily-wear contacts and eye drops that FINALLY allowed me to see 100% of the time. read more

I've never been a fan of annual eye exams, but Dr. Barit makes the entire process comfortable from start to finish. I've seen him once before and had my same pair of glasses over the years, he never once pressured me into buying a new set and happily replaced my lenses. He's honest, quick, and doesn't break the bank most importantly. The waiting room is extremely clean, the receptionists are professional and polite. He even had my glasses ready the same day so I could use them in class the following day (as I was having trouble seeing the PowerPoint lectures without them). Thank you so much Dr. Barit! read more

Dr. Barit and his staff are the best. I have been seeing Dr. Barit for 9 years. He has helped me so much with my vision which has been very challenging. Dr. Barit will work and work with you until your vision is where it needs to be. He is very caring and is involved in our community and schools. His staff works you in as soon as they can. I cannot ay enough good things about this practice. I highly recommend! read more

Let's be honest, eye care is "essential", but not always comfortable. Dr. Barit's soothing & relaxing energy, as well as his obvious priority for your well being, makes the entire experience easy. One stop shop for eye exams and glasses! read more

While the service was good, people were pleasant, etc. I am very disappointed in my visit. After calling to make an appt and giving my insurance information over the phone I came today for eye exams. After waiting, doing paperwork and then our exams they tell us they don't take our insurance. Insurance information I gave them 5 days ago. So we were charged $202 for two eye exams. After a "discount" for being out of network. She did inform me that I was justly confused about the insurance coverage because while they take United Healthcare medical insurance they don't take their vision insurance. Despite me telling her I had UnitedHealth care she never mentioned until the services were complete that they don't take their vision insurance. I try to be open minded and give people a chance to make a mistake, but first, I've never paid that much for an eye exam. Second I came on here and find a coupon for a $68 eye exam that they could have given us since it appears they just bamboozled me out of money. They are nice but it's clear their priorities are money and not customer service or satisfaction. Buyer beware, double and triple check your insurance information!!!!!! read more

I was really anxious to get my eyes checked. I had never had an eye exam so I wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Barit was wonderful. Really took his time and explained everything. The office is comfortable and his staff was very professional and knowledgeable. I got the cutest Kate Spade glasses that I couldn't find at any other offices. Highly recommend them to anyone looking. read more

I've had glasses since I was two. Eye exams have typically been a long, drawn out process of, "One.... or two?" "Uh, can I see one again? Okay, now two. One?........aaaand two? Are these the same one? They both look awful." Followed by feedback from the doctor about my perfectionism and frightening attention to detail, which typically came after my third return trip for adjustments to my prescription. DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH DR. BARIT. We blow through the exam because he can easily translate my responses into a medical diagnosis. His prescriptions have always been SPOT ON, requiring no further adjustments. And he has such a thorough knowledge of the latest advances in eye care, that he has me trying things that might improve the quality and comfort of my vision, without fail. I don't even notice my astigmatism anymore, I enjoy wearing my contacts, my eyes are no longer dry, and his selection of frames is amazing (I found three that actually looked good on me in less than half an hour.). I moved this year, and visited Dr. Barit on my vacation back to Austin, because he has no equal based on my 37 years of experience. So grateful. read more

Dr. Barit is an absolute best find. Discovered him years ago. I can't say enough, high-level knowledge, genuine interest and attention is the norm. I've had bad experiences in the past with other eye docs, it was most excellent to find one I can stick with. read more

Dr. Barit is a caring professional that puts his patients first. His expertise is unique. He wrote the best prescription I ever had. My eyes are happy. I no longer need eye drops. I strongly recommend him. As a bonus his staff is great. read more

I had a great experience at eyecare essentials! The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was clean and modern. I always felt rushed at other offices, but doctor Barit spent more time with me than any other eye doctor has before. I had a chair massage while I was getting my eyes dialated - what a bonus. The cost of my contacts was lower with eyecare essentials than 1800 contacts, to top it off they prepared my rebate form for me to get some extra cash. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks me where they should get an eye exam! read more

They are great to work with! No need to go to the typical "mall" eye doctor, rather go somewhere that they care and remember you as a patient and customer. They keep their appointment times and treat you great! read more

Great place! Called and got a same day appointment and the exam was quick and comprehensive. Also got my glasses here. I honestly don't know much about pricing when it comes to glasses but the lenses, frames and exam where below what I expected to pay. Friendly service too! read more

Have been seeing Dr. Barit for a year upon the recommendation of a co-worker. I could not be more pleased. Dr. Barit and his staff are wonderful. I highly recommend him. read more
