Texan Eye — Local services in Austin

Dr. Walters is simply the best. He did my cataract surgery in 2016. It was painless, so easy they anticipate & take care of everything all you have to do is relax &:follow their simple pre & post op instructions. I was not a good candidate for the premium multi-focal IOLs available at the time so he recommended mono focal lenses with the dominant eye optimized for distance , the other eye optimized for mid-range & prescription readers for optimal near vision. The surgeries were done on Tuesday & Thursday, I was back at work on Monday. My vision was better than 20/30, not quite 20/20 but as bright & clear as when I was a child. Absolutely miraculous! In 2020 I noticed my vision was becoming less clear & when I finally got to my opthalmologist in 2022 he told me the capsule in my right eye was cloudy & sent my back to Dr. Walters for a YAG Capsulotomy. Dr Walters examined my eyes & found that the capsules were cloudy in both eyes & performed a YAG Capsulotomy on both eyes at that same visit. Again painless & so easy just sit still, look where he tells you &.et voila the miracle continues! My vision is once again as clear & bright as when I was a child. Today I have 20/20 distance, slightly better than after my initial cataract surgery, and perfect reading at a distance of 16-18". I do have prescription readers but rarely use them, only for comfort when doing close work for more than a couple hours. I also have prescription glasses with transition sport lenses that correct both eyes to slightly better than 20/20 for outdoor sports & driving, to enhance depth perception, but I do not really need them to drive. When driving at night I do not see significant glare or halos from headlights. After my cataract surgery It took about two months for my brain to fully adjust to the different focal length in each eye & during that time I had to resist the urge to close my dominant eye when reading. Ultimately I have excellent vision at all but the closest distance, small print is too blurry to read easily at a distance of 10". I am just as independent of glasses as my friends with premium lenses and my night vision seems to be slightly better. The only difference is I have to use prescription readers & they can use off the shelf readers but none of us are dependent on them. So if you find you are not a candidate for premium IOLs do not be sad, excellent vision can still be achieved with mono focal IOLs in the skilled hands of the right Doctor. Dr. Walters handled my...

Dr. Walters did cataract surgery on both eyes upon referral of the optometrist I saw. Still in first week of recovery, according to follow-up doc (Walters apparently doesn't do follow-ups) everything is OK. I have no pain or blurred vision. Surgery center they use has great staff, Texan Eye Care not so much. Hour wait before I saw Walters on initial visit. No updates from staff as to when I would be seen. At final follow-up, I asked for copy of letter routinely sent to referring optometrist, the clerk didn't know how to operate the practice's software to provide it. When I finally got the printed info, she handed me papers, I asked for an envelope, "we don't have any." Asked another clerk on the way out and she opened a drawer full. Front desk is more interested in chatting with each other rather than offering excellent customer care. Docs are OK, hope they are better than...

I had very high myopia and when I was looking for a cataract surgeon, I was concerned about the doctor taking enough time to get the measurements right so I would have the best vision after the surgery. I met with Dr. Walters and am very glad I did. He spent time with me discussing mono-vision asking about where I needed to focus for work and activities. He took the time to explain different lens designs and why he selected the ones for me. The surgery was just as described and I was amazed at how well I saw immediately after the operation. The mono-vision works perfectly. I can simply see near and far perfectly. I have 20-15 vision without correction for reading and distance. This is literally the first time I have seen without glasses or contacts my entire life. Definitely a 5 star review. I strongly recommend Dr. Walters and Texan Eye for...
