Eye LASIK Austin

I went for the consultation and they did 3 machines and that is it. There aren’t any surgeons in the office at all when I went to the appointment. I didn’t feel like the 3 machines were testing my eyes correctly and the meds they put you on after surgery are about $ 300. The office isn’t a friendly feel at all. They only have one financing with Carecredit and that is it. They bashed other Lasik surgeons in Austin. DON’T use them. Do you research before you pick the correct lasik surgeon. I did and I am glad I didn’t get my Lasik done here. I had the top surgeon in the US do mine down south.

They were very honest with me and letting me know what to expect. Everything worked out great for me. I can see in a way I could have never imagined. The staff is amazing and compassionate. They have top of the line gear and a clean facility. The gear they use, is the gear NASA uses!

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.

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!

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.

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 2^nd 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.

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!

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.

«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.

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.

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 5^th grade, being able to see is the most amazing experience! I definitely recommend Eye LASIK Austin!

I have been to a total of 5 different LASIK screenings. I went to Eyes of Texas most recently before visiting Eye LASIK Austin and my big disappointment about my visit with Dr. Wong was that I was told to be out of my contacts for 7 – 10 days before surgery. Eye LASIK Austin told me I needed to wait at least a month because I wear toric lenses. This minor oversight (on the part of the other office) could potentially have put me at risk for an enhancement later on after the initial surgery. It is that level of detail from Eye LASIK Austin that swayed me to go there instead. They also showed me comprehensive charts and graphs of my eye and explained everything thoroughly. I am extremely apprehensive about getting this surgery done but when I’m ready, I feel eye LASIK Austin is the best place I could go. I also like that they offer iLasik, Wavefront, and all other most cutting edge LASIK technologies in their office. Once I have the surgery, I’ll be sure to update this review with more details.

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!

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!

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.

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 3^rd 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.

Just on my 2^nd 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).

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!

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!
