I guessed it might be cataracts. I searched for "best cataract surgeon in San Antonio", which led us to San Antonio Eye Specialists. Oh. My. Goodness. What a welcome and helpful difference in doctors, and outcomes! SA Eye Specialists are in a beautiful facility that is sparkling clean and welcoming. The office staff are friendly, and efficient. The medical staff are phenomenal, from our initial screenings & testing all the way up to and including Dr. Membreno, who now has replaced both my cataracts with the Light Adjustable Lens, while my husband went with Dr. Membreno's suggestion of a Toric lens for his situation. We are both absolutely delighted! I've been through an additional, unexpected (by me) procedure after there was clouding connected to my new lenses, before we could start the light adjustments (I think the "clouding" is called YAG or something? Apparently extremely common; I was lucky mine occurred - and was corrected - prior to the adjustments to my lenses.). All was handled quickly, with everything being explained clearly and thoroughly, from beginning to end. Dr. Membreno is phenomenal, and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat, to anyone with eye concerns. What struck me the most about him initially is his knack for being present: When he's with you, he's 10000% tuned in to YOU. It's as if he has nothing else in the world to concern him aside from you. What a reassuring and comforting experience, especially regarding something as important as your eyes and vision! We now consider San Antonio Eye Specialists our one-and-only eye doctor, as we will be coming here for any & all eye issues we have that fall within their purview. As one who has worn glasses or contacts for ~60 years, saying I'm ecstatic to be able to see is an enormous understatement. Colors are vivid and clear like I don't remember seeing, ever. I'm still undergoing adjustments on the light adjustable lens and yet already I'm able to read fairly well, and crochet, without glasses. Very excited and pleased!

The minute you need further assistant, follow up appt, the procedure didn't go as planned and you need a touch up, anything....good luck. They will kick the can as far as they can. They will not return phone calls. If you do get a follow up, fully expect to be in the room for 90 minutes while they see new consults to push towards surgery. You will be on the back burner. Their scheduling department is a joke with no visibility. I'd say you get what you pay for but seeing that the price is universal for most shops, who knows. My advice pick a place where you can call the office and actually take to someone to be seen.

Because I heard so many things I was super excited to come in. Yesterday on the day of my surgery I wasn't even scared! Once I was at home I was honestly amazed to see how much brighter the colors were. It made me realize that I had been looking through a cloud for quite some time. One day after my Cataract surgery with Dr. Parker I am amazed at the results. It is amazing to see and read without glasses. I surprised myself with how small I could read on the chart when they checked my vision.

From the front desk, to the scheduling, nurses and even the people in the back it was amazing. By the grace of God the surgery went great and I barely realized I was even having the surgery. A day after my Cataract Surgery and I am seeing amazing. I was in shock when I read the papers at my follow up appointment. I'm so used to getting frustrated about not being able to read small print but I was able to.

I left very frustrated and now have to find an optometrist to get my contact prescription. I feel like it was bait & switch and they need to be clearer about what they offer.

My appointment was at 8:10 am on a Monday morning. The office did not even open its doors until…read more8:09 am. The staff was loudly talking how bad traffic was due to it raining I suspect to share the reason for the office being opened late. This isn't the first time either and rain wasn't a factor previously. Mind you everyone else is expected to be there in time - and all patients were by the way. I was not seen until 8:40 am...a full 30 minutes later with no patient in front of me. I can't even understand this as the lady who ended up attending me was assisting no one else before me. So let's get to this young lady assisting me. Don't get me wrong she was nice but new. New to the machines being used, new to proving instructions on when to blink. She needed to ask for help multiple times, she didn't know how to position the machine against my eye. It was a mess. I had to ask about the consent forms I was signing as she failed to mention there were out of pocket costs if the insurance didn't cover it. And these people weren't even mindful enough to try and make up for their own delays. Just getting the pictures of the eyes took 45 minutes. Then there were no rooms available to be seen an hour an 10 minutes after my original appointment. I was honestly at a loss. I have been here now multiple times due to eye dryness and TLC dropped the ball. I have to work too. I have somewhere to be too but there is just a complete disregard for other people, their own schedules and when TLC even schedules their appointments. Update: at 10:08 AM I went to the front desk as I still had not been seen. The doctor finally walked in said " I read your review and I'm firing you as a patient and you need to leave. I won't charge you but leave." I said OK and what about seeing someone else? He said " I don't care just leave." so I left everyone beware of this place after ruining my vision and pain. This is what I get.

Yesterday was my surgery day and everything went to plan. My mother drove me to the Alamo Vision Center, the surgery took about 15 mins and I was immediately able to see clearly, leafs on trees etc. I was sensitive to light immediately afterwards, which is normal, and after arriving home and taking about a 2 hour nap I could see so well I could watch tv, read, etc with no problem. The next day(today) I went in to the office for my check up and Dr. Rashid said that everything looked perfect and I could read the 20:15 line for the vision check! I absolutely recommend getting LASIK from Dr. Rashid!
