Helpful staff and wonderful annual visits every time for the past 4 yrs- making in and out appointments a breeze. Always stocked on contacts and in expensive costs for those without insurance. Also should mention that it's conveniently located in the same shopping center as chick fil a, cabo bobs and starbucks. Perfect opportunity to schedule during my lunch break. read more

Clean facility, kind and efficient front desk, very knowledgeable yet quick optometrist

Eek. Not a good place at all if you want to try on several pairs to see what looks best on you. They have to unlock each individual pair. Very tedious, and not a very welcoming process if wanting to try on several pairs. read more

The best optometrist in central Texas. My family and I have been coming here for years. I love the no nonsense, they're educated and trustworthy. Facility is clean and welcoming. read more

One star is too many for this business. The doctors are really nice and sweet, but the staff is unacceptable. Glasses are expensive. The ladies here hate their lives or their jobs. Completely rude, whenever you call you feel like an annoying child. Never a thank you or come again. read more

Dr. Tang is amazing! She's great at explaining the exams and makes me very comfortable. I've been coming to Austin Optometrists since 2017 and wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend them!! read more

Returning customer. I called to get an appointment and they got me in the same day! They are always very nice and helpful and the doctors there are really great! I recommend this place to everyone that I know that has glasses. Thanks again for the awesome service! read more

Fantastic Place! I've been looking around for an optometrist that was quick, affordable, friendly, and close to where I live and thought I'd never find it, but here it is! The staff is courteous and helpful, the doctors are approachable and friendly, the wait time is small and pleasant, the location is great, and above all the price is amazing! I am paying less than half I used to pay at my old optometrist for the same services, and same quality. I don't know how they do it, but absolutely recommend. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Wang's for 14 years....even though I moved ~40 miles away, I still make a special trip to his office when it's that time of year again. The BEST of Austin: FAST PROFESSIONAL AFFORDABLE PERSONABLE read more

I don't dislike my ophthalmologist, but when the OCD kicks in I can't deal with a three-week wait for an appointment or another Lasik lecture, so I'll come see this guy. I should also mention I switch between glasses and contacts every few weeks just for the fun of it, and because I enjoy seeing people I know do a double-take. Dr. Wang runs a no-frills shop, doesn't waste time or words with me, and a 3:45pm appointment means I'm in the Robocop chair at 3.45pm. As far as I can tell everything is up-to-date technology, he'll give you sample lenses to try, and he's generous with bottles of cleaning and disinfectant solutions. And yes, you do get a pair of free sunglasses when you leave here, but I've seen 3-D glasses I'd rather wear in public. To each his own. My combined contact and glasses exam cost me $79. I think you can do them separately, but if you're going there for contacts, why wouldn't you want an updated prescription for glasses as well? Dr. Wang is apparently big on the Acuvue brand of lenses, but I use Ciba's Night & Days, mainly because I'm lazy. He charges $59 a box for them, while the WalMart across the street charges $69 but Costco has them for $45. Remember, you need a box for each eye. Whatever brand you get, always go to the company's website and take advantage of their rebates. It's a very competitive business. I just don't know how much hand-holding or small-talk you need from your medical professional in these type of situations - if I'm coming here, it means I want to get in-and-out on the cheap and quick and move on to the next item on my list. Just for being punctual and to-the-point is enough to make me a fan of Dr. Wang - rounding out this portion of my day with a visit next door to Cabo Bob's or Hea Café is just frosting on the cake. read more

I've been going to Dr. Wang since my early 20s and have always been highly impressed with him. His clinic is affordable and he pays attention to detail. I love Dr. Wang. He's always been my fave. However, this last time, I saw Dr. Li Wang since Dr. Wang was full. Dr. Li Wang was a goddess, I loved her just as much. She was super sweet, great at her job and extremely welcoming. I'd highly recommend any of them. I'm always happy with their services. read more

I cannot say anything that equals how great this optometrist is! Mr Wang has the lowest prices in town and while that's important, I am writing this review because he is such a great person. He genuinely want to help people see better. He is very thorough and kind, patient and explains anything you ask about. I was concerned that I might be in the early stages of macular degeneration (out of pure parinioa bc I love to read - I average about 52 books a year!) and he alienated my fears and got me into both monocle lenses and bifocal contacts. I've got to go back as I think I need a stronger bifocal lens and I'm pretty sure that will be free but if not, so be it. If you are having trouble or on Medicare/Medicare which don't pay for eye care or dental care, this is the optometrist for you! His prices for contacts are better than even Walfart! read more

I went here for a new prescription on 3/10, paid $480 for 3 pair of glasses and the script. They gave me bifocals, not the progressive lenses I ordered. It took them almost a month to give me the wrong glasses. My third pair STILL hasn't gotten in yet. I used my prescription to order glasses from China that arrived in less time than these people. And they got the prescription correct. Good place for an eye exam, but go elsewhere for your glasses. Staff obviously has no idea what they are doing. read more

They always take good care of me! The Dr. and team explain all options and care recommended. Found my forever Optometrist!

So you can't judge a book by it's cover. As soon as I walked in, I felt as if this place was kind of just thrown together. It was pretty busy for 3:30 on a weekday. I had chosen to see Dr. Wang himself based on the yelp reviews (the good ones of course). When I walked back for my pre - test I felt like I was back in the storage area. When I was pulled back to the office/exam room, I felt like I was in a built in storage closet in the storage room. All this said and done..... Dr. Wang was very professional. He was very thorough in his exam and explained every test he was doing and why he was doing it. He taught me little tips about contact care that no other optometrist has told me over the 17 years I've been wearing contacts. His eye testing equipment seemed more advanced than my last optometrist. My last one still had to sit beside me and flip the 1 or 2's and the 3 or 4's by hand. Upon leaving he told me to give it a week and follow up if necessary. I'm already a fan of acuvue but if you buy 2 boxes that same day he offers a discount. I followed up after a week (no extra cost - I think up to 2 mos worth follow up is what I signed on the paperwork) and he strengthened my rx. Since I didn't open my original boxes he exchanged them even cost. Key is just don't open them ;) He told me try again for a week and if not happy, come back in. Side note - astigmatisms add $10 extra. Pretty good service I must say. Oh yeah...cheapest contact exam for those without insurance too. read more

I just wanted to leave a review because i have been coming to this place for over 6 years. My now grown kids come here too. Dr Wang is the very best and not to mention cheap as they come as far as products but the service given is over the top excellent. Always professional, explains every single steps, stays on top with the newest equipment for the very best outcome for his clients, i love love love the sweet girls in the front office because they are very professional and polite. no matter how busy they stay they always give excellent attention to everyone. even though i have always had eye insurance i have even paid out right and the prices still can't be beat!! so with that being said "You Want Be Disappointed" with this place. yes if you judge it from the outside you will fooled, but hey i completely understand there reasoning on keeping this small space but having the very best when it comes to employees and best eye machines for their clients!!! Thanks Dr Wang for making it affordable and no matter how the economy continues to rise!! Kindly, Life-time client, Michelle read more

Li Wang totally stressed my eyes with excessively bright lights and images that were totally out of focus. I knew the prescription was wrong. I asked for street, TV and computer glasses. He would only give me a street prescription and it was mostly illegible. This was a 1 star experience but I give this guy 2 stars because I'm pretty sure he just didn't like me. I must have said something to offend him for an optometrist to behave that badly. I finally went to Dr. Robert Ramp at the optical store at Walmart at Mopac and Hwy 290. He gave me all 3 prescriptions at the same time and they were all absolutely perfect. Dr. Ramp is pleasant to work with and he is a perfectionist. read more

Dr. Wang is the most thorough dr. I've ever had an eye exam from. I trust him immensely. It is also the most affordable. My only complaint is that they are limited on their selection of eyeglasses. The ones you get in the deal are cheap quality. My recommendation is to get your exam and contacts here but maybe take your prescription elsewhere for your glasses. I usually get mine from Zenni. read more

I just needed a basic, no frills eye exam so I could order frames online. I'd been putting it off because I wasn't able to find straightforward pricing listed anywhere which can be frustrating for a patient without insurance. Dr. Wang was able to see me within 10 minutes as a walk-in and they clearly explained their price structure. This place is great if you need a quick and thorough exam and/or basic frames. read more

After a visit to MedSpring for a Subconjunctival Hemorrhage that didn't quite clear up, I decided to go see an optometrist. I should have done this in the first place, but it was a saturday and my eye looked pretty freakish so i went for whatever help I could find. I ended up paying something like $180 for the drops prescribed my medspring and they didn't work I called Dr Wang's office at 4:45pm and was able to get an appointment at 5:20pm the same day The office is simple, but clean and was fairly busy. Still, I got in to see the doctor who is actually pretty awesome. He explained the eye condition i was experiencing in a clear and concise matter. This eye condition has been somewhat of an on going problem for me and Dr Wang explained about what was probably causing it and how I could avoid future episodes. He also explained the risks of long term use of steroid based eye-drops. I walked away with two prescriptions that cost a total of $25 My office visit was $55 (my eye doctor in california charged like $150 for an office visit) and the follow up visit I have next week is free. Super pleased with the experience. Dr. Wang is a good doctor. No up-selling, He pushes education and prevention So happy I called up Dr Wang's office. I will be counting on him to be my eye doctor moving forward. read more

It cost me like $135 for a contact lens prescription, a glasses prescription and enough daily disposable contacts for 45 days! The doctor was very thorough and inquired into my complete medical history... and I've got a lot of history! Very happy customer!! read more

Dr. Tang was thorough, knowledgeable, and very kind. She examined me for glasses and contacts, the frames were $15-40, you can pay more for the designer ones, they have those too. The staff was friendly, busy, and efficient, all qualities I love. read more

I'm a patron/patient of 15 years. Couldn't be happier with Dr. Wang's practice. He's calm, even tempered, helpful and explains everything he's doing. And affordable as one can be I think. Give this local practice your money, it's well spent here. read more

Ok so, there's a reason why every single one of the reviews here are ALL FIVE STARS. I had used yelp to track down a good physician and dentist, and now an optometrist. All the other reviews are filled with the prices and numbers so I won't bother bragging about that. I made an appointment and as quickly as that, got one a day later. I went in, filled some forms and waited for him to come out and lo and behold, this sleek man rolls out in a collared shirt and jeans and I thought "Holy crap, my optometrist is The Fonz". He's fantastic. Quick. Tended to my interests and answered any questions I had for him perfectly. Like many have said, I received some contacts and he told me to choose sunglasses. It was amazing, I really thought he was going to offer me some roller blades next. But if you haven't been to an optometrist in ages and in need of one, he's definitely your man. I ....Eventually I'm going to use yelp's abilities to find my wife. read more

ACHTUNG DANGER! This place clearly survives on volume, false advertisement and sneaky business practices. So let me tell you about my first visit. I came here only because of the heavily stated so-called affordability. They HEAVILY ADVERTISE a contact exam for a specific price- it's on the front door along with being all over their tacky website! Otherwise this place is way out of the way for me. Well, did you know that if THIS optometrist prescribes you a specific type and brand of contacts that you are stuck with it? No, you may not get the more affordable brand, only what's prescribed unless you make an additional exam appointment. Not only did this happen without ANY discussion with the eye Dr., they also arbitrarily charged me MORE for the brand specific contact lens exam which also was NOT discussed. I could not care less about whether or not I get Acuvue lenses, nor do I care about the kickback they receive from this kind of scam. So, after realizing that I had been charged significantly more than I had expected and that is advertised, literally on the front door, I went back in to get some clarification. After going around in circles with the front desk lady and the Dr. himself, I finally demanded to get the price that had been advertised. Second Visit: Today I lost a contact and needed a replacement asap. I go down to Dr. Wang's and wait an HOUR to place an order for a new box and receive a trial pair (something about the lenses are kept in the exam room). While waiting, I decide to order a pair of glasses too because I really didn't want to risk being blind again if I should rip/lose another contact. Glasses, I might add, that cost more than I was told. If you say something is $40 it can't be $45 $48 or $60 there is no wiggle room! But wait there's more! They also charged me for an extra box of lenses I didn't request! I pay and go on my merry way. Several hours later I get a sheepish voicemail from someone there who says that the Dr won't fulfill my order because I was "unhappy" with the previous service and I need to go back in so they can issue me a refund. ummmmmm, okay? So, let me get this straight? Because I was unhappy the first time, instead of trying to make good you refuse to fulfill my order and inconvenience me? What the what? So, Dr. Wang is basically a bad business man who enlists his office girls to do his dirty work. Like I said before, this business clearly succeeds due to shear volume and not by retaining loyal clientele. read more

I've never been to NYC, but I'd imagine this optometry office would be the alleyway equivalent of an LV purse operation there. But that's just appearances, Dr. Wang is legit. I arrived ten minutes early and by the time I was done filling out paperwork, the doctor was ready to see me. He looked very familiar to me, but I couldn't figure out the connection. He is very thorough, asks lots of questions, and did lots of tests I had never had done on my eyeballs before. I appreciated this. I was in for a combo contacts/glasses exam (at $79 the cheapest deal in town) but explained that I rarely wore the contacts because they weren't ever comfortable. He explained the multiple reasons why I may have had trouble or given up on contacts in the past and gave me a few remedies I could work on myself to help with those problems. At the end of the exam, he'd fitted me in a couple of different dailies he wanted me to try. As a final test, he handed me a ruler and asked me to look at it and then held two lenses in front of my eyes and asked me to look again and tell him what I thought. I thought this was some sort of trick since I was already wearing the corrective contacts. He asked, 'Looks sharper, right? Do you know what these are,' he asked gesturing at the lenses. I put two and two together and sadly exclaimed, 'Reading glasses?!?' He laughed, only slightly. And responded, 'An occupational tool.' I was not mollified. 'If you were a construction worker you would wear a belt for lumbar support right?' The man made sense, and I only sort of swallowed my pride as he handed me the post-it that read '+1.' To soften the blow he added, 'It's the lowest magnification.' I scheduled my follow-up, grabbed my free sunglasses and walked out. In the car it hit me, 'Dr. Wang is like Martin Yan - the Yan of the eye world!' This did please me greatly. read more

The better half found good Yelp reviews for Dr. Wang so I skipped my previous optometrist to set us up a double-date here. Just like other reviews say, it was all punctual, professional, no-nonsense and very affordable. Last year I gave the old optometrist five stars and they remain worthy. They spent more time fussing over me than Dr. Wang's staff did but also steered me straight towards the most expensive contact option as a default. I wound up switching to glasses and I gotta give kudos to Dr. Wang's partner optometrist (don't recall her name) for giving me the glasses exam without any pressure to go the contact route or lasik, etc. That translated into a bill about 1/3 the cost of my old optometrist. So if you're budget-conscious and know what kind of eyewear you want, Dr. Wang's office is hard to beat. I felt the exam was conducted with the same care and thoroughness as any I've had in the past. I don't mind that the waiting room isn't fancy, and I don't mind that it wasn't quite the "spa for your eyeballs" that some other places aspire to be. I got what I needed quickly, efficiently, and affordably. Boo-yeahhhh. read more

One of the nicest optometrist I've been to. I'm deaf and Dr. Wang was very understanding and easy to work with. Honestly for the price, I was expecting some kind of trashy place but the office is actually very down to earth style with using all the space available. Dr. Wang did a better job finding my rx than my last optometrist. For a $45 dollar eye exam, you can't beat this price and quality. It seems almost like a steal. You can also get eyeglasses for $18 at the cheapest plus some designer frames. The staff was pleasant and helpful when I had questions. They didn't bug me to try to sell me the latest designer frames. read more

I initially went to Dr. Wang when I was insurance-less, as he is one of the most affordable providers around. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that not only was he incredibly friendly and attentive, he really cared that he was doing a quality job and gave me some helpful tips to keep my eyes from getting tired at the end of a long computer day. I also think it's super sweet that every time I have an appointment with him, he takes the time to thank me for coming in, and sends everyone out with a free pair of sunglasses. Wouldn't go to anyone else, highly recommended! read more

As a new resident in Austin, Texas I had no idea where to go for my yearly eye exam. I have been going to the same doctor in Norman, Oklahoma for 10 years now. After reading all the wonderful reviews of Dr. Wang on here I decided to give him a try! I was nervous about going to a new doctor. I was so attached to my old one, it would take a rockstar to impress me. Dr. Wang was able to do just that! His staff promptly and efficiently got me checked in and ready to go. They even got me in 15 minutes before my appointment was set. Dr. Wang was very calm, patient, and understanding of my fear of going to a new doctor after all these years. He answered all of my questions and took his time, unlike some doctors who treat you like a serial number instead of a human being. My contact lens/eye exam came to $79 total, which is super cheap especially considering all the samples of contact lenses he gave me to help me decide which ones were most comfortable. He also gave me lens solution, a new lens case, and a free pair of sunglasses. He didn't pressure me to purchase the lenses he recommended, he let me decide for myself. So if you need a new eye doctor that is inexpensive, but still gets the job done with flying colors go see Dr. Wang! read more

I have been seeing dr.wang for 10+ years. He is a great optometrist but needs to pay more attention on how he is running his business . I called a 10am to schedule an appointment but the receptionist wouldn't schedule me until she confirm my insurance( when they had already confirmed it a week ago, as well been client for over a decade). I called back at 3pm and they still hadn't confirm. I finally heard back at 5pm that my was insurance was authorize but I was put on hold to schedule my appointment. I ended up hanging up and schedule an appointment with someone else in 5 minutes! Not 8 hours like dr.wang. This just proves their poor customer service. read more

There is a very good reason why Dr. Wang has a 5 star rating thus far. He is professional, thorough, fast, and you can't beat his prices. I did some shopping around for the cost of eye exams and contacts and I'd have to say that his deals are about as good as it gets. For the price of $130, I got an eye exam, contact lens exam, plus 2 boxes of Acuvue Oasys!!! Just to compare & give you an idea of how amazing this is, the price of just getting an eye exam and contact exam at Eclectic Eyewear near campus is $150. His office is located on the corner of I35 and 71 in the plaza near Wal-mart and apparently he's been serving Austin for about 10 years now so tons of experience there. Currently there's a promo from Acuvue that Dr. Wang was telling me about where you get a $100 rebate for contacts. When he told me about this, it definitely let me know that he was looking out for the patients. If you need an optometrist, go to Dr. Wang! read more

I read about Dr Wang here on Yelp. I didn't want to believe the good reviews, so I went in with a skeptical eye (yes, pun intended). I was VERY plesantly surprised at how quick, friendly, and low cost the office was. I was able to get my eye exam AND my husband's as well as the lenses and frames for less than $250! Sure it's not in our part of town (we are in North east Austin), but it was soo worth the time it took to get there. One small gripe though: The assistant that was there today (3/19) didn't seem too happy to be there. I wish I could have cheered him up or something, lol. read more

Wow! I just came back from the best optometry appointment ever! I recently went back to school and lost my vision insurance, so I used Yelp to find an affordable provider: Dr. Wang. He is very humble. When I told him I found him on Yelp he said he was lucky that people seem to like him. It's not luck, it's quality of care! He went above and beyond my expectations. I used to go to Texan Eye Care. They told me that it would be $190 without insurance JUST for the contact exam, no contacts included. I went to Dr. Wang and received a comprehensive contact exam, prescription, glasses prescription, a free pair of contacts, samples of solution, and two boxes of Acuvue Hydraclear lenses for $119! That is simply unbeatable. Aside from that, Dr. Wang is very polite, professional, and provided me with extra information that no other eye care provider has taken the time to give me before. He talked to me about makeup, allergies, and eyelid health. I'm very impressed. The value and quality of this exam surpasses what I was getting at Texan Eye Care, and it was SO much more affordable. He even gave me a free pair of sunglasses afterwards!! I strongly recommend him, but I'm also worried that too many people will go to him and I"ll have to wait forever for an appointment! So far, that doesn't seem like a problem because I got seen the day after I scheduled my appointment. Oh yeah, his staff was very friendly as well and I waited less than five minutes to be seen. Just awesome! read more

I recommend Dr. Wang to all my friends! I started going to Dr. Wang in 2006 prior to having health insurance when he was still at the Ben white Wal-Mart; I was in a car accident the night prior. The next day I realized a piece of object (prob glass) scratched my cornea and I was in excruciating pain. The only options I had on a Saturday morning was the ER or try to walk into the Wal-Mart optometrist office. How lucky I was Dr. Wang was there. The front receptionist could see how desperate i was and alerted the Dr. in between switching off patients. He looked at me then very nicely went over to the next patient in line, explained my situation, and asked if it would be ok if he could briefly bring me back ahead of them to give me some emergency pain drops to help while I waited as a walk-in. He was patient, caring and attentive. He even had me come back for some brief follow-ups to check my progress free of charge. Now Dr. Wang has moved on to his own practice. I currently have health insurance that covers eye exams, but with my co-pay plus "contact lens examination fees" it's actually about the same price to see Dr. Wang. I've been going to him for about 7 years now, and always get the best treatment and service. Highly recommend to anyone! read more

OK, So I had not had an eye exam for years. How long you say? So long ago that they did not have any machines past the one that causes you to say 1 or 2 is better.. :) I went to Dr Wang for a routine exam as he is on my Health Alliance for Austin Musicians health plan. Wang told me that my vision was currently fine. I need 2.50 readers, and no glasses for driving at all... however. He said "Now for the bad news" You are missing 85 percent of the optic nerves in your right eye and over 50 percent in your left. You may have a degenerative eye disease and you need to see a specialist right away. You could lose your vision. As you can imagine I was more than a little freaked out. I have a friend of a friend that was able to get me into Texan Eye center to see one of the best specialists in the state. I saw Wang on a Thursday and although I did get in to Texan Eye on the following Monday I was more than a bit nerve wracked over the weekend. I saw the specialist Monday morning, went through a series of (expensive) and lengthy tests only to find out that Wang was wrong, alarmist, and had scared the bejesus out of me for no reason. I recommend paying the extra money and going straight to Texan Eye center for your testing. I could have been required to wait over a month to see a specialist and I cannot imagine how freaked out I would have been had that been the case. Cheap is not always good.... although Wang's speaking voice does remind me of the character Leslie Chow from the Hangover films and that did take the edge off a bit. Texan Eye... yes Wang.. Not so much. read more

I hadn't been to the optometrist in years, and had a) lost my glasses, and, b) was down to a single spare contact lens. I couldn't put it off any longer, unless I wanted to endanger drivers across Austin. So, when I read the reviews calling Dr. Wang affordable and kind, I thought I would give him a try. I am SO glad that I did. For under $150, I got an eye exam, two boxes of contacts, a pair of glasses and, for some reason, a free pair of sunglasses. (Why, I do not know, but if it's free, it's me.) I called on a Monday, made an appointment for Tuesday, and spent a total of 45 minutes at his office. My glasses were ready to be picked up within two days, and everyone at the office was polite and helpful. If you don't want to turn an eye exam into an expensive and time-consuming production, Dr. Wang is your guy. read more

Hands down the most thorough eye exam I've ever received!! Dr. Wang went beyond what I consider to be a standard exam to ensure my contacts had the perfect prescription. Both he, and his staff, are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. I live in Fort Worth, but was here on business in Austin. My wife and I are seriously considering bringing our girls the three hour drive back here just to see him. Highly recommend. read more

If you need a prescription fast, this is the place to go. It was really easy to schedule an appointment and I was in and out within an hour. The cost is also very affordable. He is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot of new information from him even though I've been wearing contacts for more than 10 years. The waiting area was packed though which bothered me because I'm a little claustrophobic. Oh yeah, you also get a free pair of sunglasses when you leave which I thought was pretty cool. read more

Li Wang, OD - Austin Optometrists - Optometrists Near Me - Austin, Texas

To add to all of the other good reviews of Dr Wang, here is the deal: 1. Dr Wang's office does not take insurance. Glasses exams are $45 Glasses exam with contact exam is $65 Ocular irritation exam is $15 2. Dr. Wang's Wal-mart location does take insurance. Co-pays vary; mine was $10 3. Don't expect a couture experience. This is Wal-mart, but you are getting a good doctor at a reasonable price. Considering the savings, I think it's a great deal. Regarding the vision center, the prices are great for frames and lenses. With insurance, you can get out for under $60. I had them put new lenses in old frames, which cost me $20. However, my insurance covers up to $130, so I got a second pair for another $40. Glasses are ready in one week. read more
