Since I was 6 years old I needed glasses to see or read anything, and with beyond-terrible vision and a slight stigmatism I always assumed I wouldn't be a good candidate for Lasik. The team at Lake Austin Eye took me step by step through the process, was patient and good humored through the procedure itself, and has been generous, diligent, detail-oriented, and delightful in our post-procedure sessions. 20/10 would recommend, and I'm already working on convincing a couple friends and family members to take the jump...

We have been coming here for years, and same reception gal. Greeting is very dry, and robotic. Today we were asked to show insurance card, and fill out paperwork. Definitely need more room to fill out your name, phone and address. When my client was called I was told to not come in. I advised the gal I am her caregiver, and help her walking, since she does not use a cane or walker. She just looked at me like I had said something in a different language. I have ALWAYS gone in with my 92 year old client. I asked the gal to please come hold my clients hand since she was not allowing me in for her eye exams. Even as we are checking out, the gal at check out has no courtesy, or warmth another gal that is not professional at her job. Except for the doctor. He has excellent customer service skills.

The female doctor was very nice and honest, which was especially refreshing.

It was such a delight working with her. I am happy with the fit and her recommendations based upon my face shape and size.

I really wanted to have a better experience here, but unfortunately, it turned into a long and…read morefrustrating process that never resulted in a proper outcome. I initially came in for an eye exam in August 2025 and had no issues getting my contact lens prescription, which I use daily. However, when my allergies flared up later in the year, I reached out to get my glasses prescription so I could switch over. That's where things started to go wrong. The prescription I received included a pupillary distance (PD) that was not actually measured--it appeared to be defaulted. At the time, I didn't know this, so I used the prescription to order glasses online. When they arrived, I couldn't see out of them at all. When I went back in, the PD issue was acknowledged as a likely cause, but I was also told the prescription itself was "accurate," which was confusing given the incorrect measurement. To their credit, they remade the lenses for two pairs of glasses, and I also purchased a third pair in-store using my insurance. Unfortunately, even with updated PD measurements, none of the glasses worked. My vision felt completely distorted--like looking through a funhouse mirror--and it was honestly not safe to drive. I returned multiple times for adjustments, including changes to the prescription, but nothing resolved the issue. I was repeatedly told to "give it time," even though the problem clearly wasn't minor adjustment discomfort. On top of that, communication and wait times became another issue. During one visit, I waited about 45 minutes without any update, only to find out staff was tied up and short-handed. That should have been communicated upfront. I will say that Kevin and Ashley were kind, empathetic, and genuinely tried to help throughout the process. I appreciate their efforts. However, the overall experience still fell short. What was most disappointing was the response when I called to ask what could be done about the money I had spent on lenses that still didn't work. I was told it might be best to "put a stop" to further adjustments since they had already paid out of pocket--despite the fact that these issues were not caused by me. That response felt dismissive and unprofessional given the situation. I ultimately sought a second opinion elsewhere and immediately experienced a higher level of care, attention to detail, and accuracy. I think the biggest takeaway is this: when it comes to vision, precision and thoroughness are critical. Measurements like PD should always be properly taken, and when something clearly isn't working, patients should feel supported--not dismissed.

Super easy to make appointments online, I do wish they have an automated text message reminder…read morethough because I honestly forgot about it. No big deal though, they didn't think much of it and you can reschedule on the phone/online. Clean and organized offices, relatively short wait time (less than 10 mins after check-in), and I feel like everyone who works there genuinely enjoys their job. It feels a bit of a manufacturing line - you get seen by an assistant first to go over a bunch of standard questions, a quick eye scan (there is one x-ray that costs an extra $39 which kind of is glossed over but optional). Then the optometrist comes in and reviews the x-ray and does the more thorough eye exam. As for the brands they carry in-store: Oliver Peoples, Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, Chanel, Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci, Paul Smith, Catch London, Oakley, Via Spiga, MaxMara, and their own line. Trying on a pair of frames with the numbers on file is also relatively quick, but I also felt like when they itemize the cost, it's all chicken scratch. They literally look up numbers in a binder, and then scribble out the lens cost, material, anti-scratch, anti-glare, transitional, etc on your print-out. In this day and age, I think a template on the computer screen shouldn't be too hard to look at together?

The problem here is that nobody asked me if I wanted it, or even told me I was being charged for it. I didn't even have a pamphlet explaing what it is. Also, this was charged to my flexible spending account debit card. This is not an eligible expense, so I now have to call my plan administrator so that I do not get a %100 penalty for the erroneous charge. So, like I said, be careful and check everything on your receipt befor you leave.
