Best optometrists in Austin: find options near you

I’ve been a patient here for many years. I highly recommend them for any eye issues and regular exams. All the doctors are extremely friendly and gentle and explain everything and great detail. And as for eyeglasses, I think they have one of the best selections in town.

Very satisfied with all the people who greeted me. The lady at the front desk was polite and friendly made me feel welcome.
The nurse attended to me right away I didn’t have to wait too long in the lobby.
The doctor was very thorough with the eye exam then he explained how he was going to help me get better with medication. With in two hours my pharmacy called me to tell me that the medication was ready to pick it up . My injured eye is now is feeling better
Thank you Dr Tybor.

was amazing! it was such a clean, calm, fun and professional environment. Dr. Li was phenomenal and walked me through her whole process, the first eye doctor i’ve had to be so transparent and helpful with me. Ryleah was very welcoming and made me feel so comfy too! wonderful experience

My first time as a new patient for Dr. L. Initial tests and evaluation went well. I saw Dr. L after I was there about an hour. She reviewed the test results, examine my eyes, listened and took a good history of other conditions that I have prevailing. Her office scanned in my previous eye doctors appointments from the last 5 to 8 years.

I thought it was a thorough evaluation; with good suggestions; a prescription for cortisol eye drops; and suggestions for cleaning my eyelids and eyelashes.

Scheduled another appointment for two weeks to follow up and do another evaluation of my optic nerve and a treatment on my eye eyelids and eyelashes.

The staff front desk is very attentive; Santana, Nicole, Riley.

Dr. Tybor and his staff made an anxious experience a positive one. The staff was calm, patient and professional. The doctor spent time with me explaining and answering questions and I never felt rushed.
I am very appreciative of their skill and way of working with me. I would highly recommend Oak Hill Eye Care.

Friendly staff, knowledgeable technicians and a comfortable quiet waiting room.
Went for my yearly checkup this morning and it had been a while since my last visit.
The visit was as short me would want in learning about the health of your eyes.
Doctor Tybor and his staff are to be commended for making sure you have come to the right place. Now I can enjoy the beauty of nature to its fullest. 8/18/2025

Dr. Lechlitner is an excellent doctor. She’s very knowledgeable, thorough, and has an excellent bedside banner. She’s a very good listener and takes the time to address all issues and concerns. I highly recommend her as an eye doctor. Also, the office staff was very professional and courteous.

I left Freedom Eye Care feeling great and well informed about how to take care of my eyes. The technician was very patient and thorough getting me set up for my meeting and further examination with Dr. Azadi, who is amazing. He was so kind and generous with his time, answering all of my questions before sending me off with a clear plan for new eyeglasses. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in the Austin area! Thank you!

Wonderful staff, nothing was prolonged just straight to the point. Paperwork was done online worry free without the added hassle of continued paperwork. I was able to focus on the appt. The optometrist was great talked to My son like he has known him for years but he did acknowledge him as a past client that never left. He was greeted and helped on finding frames that looked nice on him and mostly what he liked.
Awesome place , definitely Freedom it is!

everyone was so kind and listened to all of my long stories about different life experiences. They made everything simple to do and walk me step-by-step with patience. I absolutely LOVE them!!! The vibes are great y’all!

Easy to schedule and get appointment. Front office staff very friendly. Dr. Azadi is the best. He is always listens to my concerns and is truly seems to care about his patients.

I love Freedomon Eye Care! Been going here for 4 years and they are always so nice and super fast! Was in and out in under 30 minutes today! Highly recommend

First time at Freedom eye care today and it was lovely! Staff were all friendly, everything was on time and they did a great job explaining all steps of what they were doing and an action plan for me and my eyes. Highly recommended their team!

Dr. Azadi is always cheerful when I’ve been there. He and his staff are extremely friendly and professional. I felt confident that my prescription was exactly what was needed for my best possible vision. I highly recommend Freedom Eye Care.

My son and I had an excellent experience at Great Hills with Dr. Do! She did a comprehensive eye exam for both of us and we really felt cared for throughout the entire visit. Dr. Do took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions with patience, and made sure we were comfortable with every step of the exam. Her professionalism combined with a warm, approachable manner really made the difference for us. The office staff was also courteous and efficient, making the whole appointment smooth from start to finish. We left feeling confident in our eye health and grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and kind optometrist. Highly recommend!

Absolutely AMAZING! Dr Do made me feel like we were old friends and was so sweet, caring and made everything easy. Front desk are absolutely wonderful as well- so nice and knowledgeable and they also made the tests easy to do. Also, not NEARLY as expensive as other places! I don’t have vision insurance and everything including a 10 day supply of contacts (dry eye test, two glasses prescriptions (progressive and regular) and contact script retina scan and that ‘proof’ test where they blow air at your eyes) was less than $300. It would’ve been cheaper without all the stuff I requested, but I’m getting older and need them. Also, De Do is bilingual! (Spanish). LOVE THAT PLACE!!

Dr Do is one of the best optometrists I’ve seen. She was very knowledgeable, super patient, thorough, and kind! I’ve had a hard time finding a good optometrist in Austin. The entire team was also nice and efficient. Will definitely establish care here and would recommend 100%

Entire team, especially Dr. Do, was pleasant, willing to answer questions, as flexible as possible about the traffic/construction in the area. State of the art equipment. Fast, but thorough. My eye exam was a great experience. (Opticians at Costco are great, too).

I visited Great Hills Eye Care and saw Dr. Raymond Carneglia for an eye concern. He prescribed me eye drops, and shortly after using them my eye became red and swollen — an obvious reaction to the medication. When I called the clinic, I was told to stop the drops and schedule a follow-up.

To my surprise, they insisted on charging me $99 for that follow-up, even though the visit was only necessary because of a side effect from medication prescribed at my original appointment. I explained my concern, but they refused to waive the fee.

This experience left me feeling that patient care and responsibility for prescribed treatments are not a priority here. I ended up canceling the follow-up and going to a different clinic for care. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone expecting accountability or fair treatment.

Great experience with Dr. Raymond Carneglia. He made sure I was satisfied and encouraged me to return if I needed any adjustments to my RX. His attitude and expertise are impressive.

Great Hills Eye Care was amazing! I was in and out with a new prescription.

I am seeing much better already.

The doctor was very professional and explained everything to me.
As a doctor myself (chiropractor) I appreciate his professionalism and explanation of everything!

Thank you!

My experience was wonderful! I first was greeted by sweet Hermione. Then Tadeo the tech came and got me. He was patient and kind with me during all the test taking. Then I met Dr Shazeen Ali who is so intelligent and compassionate. None of them knew that I came in extremely stressed that I had a brain tumor bc I was seeing double and blurry. Once I told Dr Shazeen Ali of my worry she immediately made me assured that wasn’t happening. She took the time to show me my eye picture, and explained what it would look like if there was a tumor. The kindness I was showed from start to end was very impressive and made me feel safe. Thank you so very much!

This is the perfect location and doctor , everyone was great and welcoming. Dr.Ali is very knowledgeable and explains things very well so you don’t leave with any doubts about anything. I liked that I also got the help on choosing the perfect frame from one of the employees.Definitely recommend this location to everyone

This office and staff understands patient care. I was a first time patient. While waiting for my appointment I was able to witness how compassionate the staff was with assisting someone with disabilities select their favorite glasses. The technicians made kind recommendations and gave honest feedback of which ones looked best on them. Each step of my eye exam, interaction with the doctor and even checkout was handled with kindness. From start to finish, I didn’t feel like another person in line but valued as their new patient.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new eye doc!

First time visit to this location. I was greeted kindly by the receptionist upon entry. Check in was quick, no waiting. The examination was thorough and comprehensive using the latest eye examination technology. Dr. Ali made me feel at ease during the whole process, answered all my of questions without hesitation. Dr. Ali was very compassionate and understanding during the entire visit. 2 weeks until I can pick my new glasses. Thank you Dr. Ali and staff for your patience and kindness.

Extremely personable, from technicians to Dr. Shazeen Ali. By that I mean that they actually listened to my concerns and sought to find solutions to my problems. Just as importantly, they have a lot of equipment that I have not seen before. And having had glasses for more than 65 years, and seeing opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists every 1-3 years, I have seen a lot. The surprise of all was Dr. Ali calling me personally to further discuss my option on an order. Above and beyond…

Fantastic experience and expert care. The staff were kind, considerate and so attentive. Don’t know how I could have been better cared for. This is definitely my go to place for eye care.

Wow! From the communication before the appointment through every step of the eye exam, this was a 5 star experience. Dr. Ali and her staff are friendly, professional and thorough. I highly recommend Ranch Road Vision Source!

Have been at Lone Star Eye for maybe 8 years? Have always had a professional and pleasant experience. Had a scheduled visit today and when I had jury duty they were willing to let me have some flexibility w my appointment. Ended up not needing it and it helped me not to have as much pressure in my day. When I arrived everyone was so nice from my check in to the technician who helped me with my initial testing. Dr. Patel was kind and helped me understand all my scans and reassured me that everything was good. In the past year I’ve had some issues come up for me with my eyes and the team was quick to help see me and sent me to a competent referral when i needed an ophthalmologist (this was last year). Back to my most recent visit I had fun picking out some new frames with Olga and Jessica (great team work!) and settled on some new glasses and contacts. I have a no bridge nose and was really happy to get the expert help I needed to find a great pair that fit my face and were comfortable (I’ve for the longest been at Warby, Quay and Covry and it took sitting with Olga and Jessica to find a really comfy pair!). I came to Lone Star from a friend referral years ago and sharing here to keep it going… good health care is not something to take for granted and appreciate everyone at Lone Star Eye for taking care of me all these years!

I had a wonderful experience when I went to get an eye exam. Dr. Packer was thorough and made great recommendations for my personal needs. He answered all my questions and gave me options. The staff was very friendly and helped me find the glasses that best suited me. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing an eye professional!

Freaking AWESOME! They got me in within an hour of calling for an emergency appointment. Dr Packer was efficient, informative and just cool! He drilled into my head how to properly apply the eye drops for max effectiveness (shake well, noted) and within 2 hours of dripping the drops into my eye, it feels SO MUCH BETTER! Yall rock! Thanks for getting me in and getting me out of pain!

I recently visited Lone Star Eyes and had a fantastic experience with Dr. Packer. From the moment I walked in, the friendly front desk staff made me feel welcomed and cared for. Dr. Packer took the time to listen attentively and provided thoughtful solutions to my concerns, making the whole process both reassuring and efficient.

The office is impeccably clean, and every team member—from the front desk to the back—exemplifies a high standard of professionalism. There were no long waits, and I appreciated how organized and thorough their paperwork and processes were. Overall, the customer-centric approach and the warm, accommodating atmosphere made my visit truly outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Packer and the entire team at Lone Star Eyes for anyone looking for top-notch eye care.

Dr. Packer at Lone Star Eye is the absolute best! Went to have my vision checked and order a pair of prescription sunglasses. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Line Star Eye will take great care of you if you are ever in need of eye care.

I went to this location because of the high reviews and several recommendations. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism, the knowledge, and the superior customer service I received. They truly made me feel like a member of the family and rolled out the red carpet for me. Super special kudos for Jessica and Jessica. Amazing employees and so nice to be around. I would very strongly recommend an appointment. You will not be disappointed!

Being a native Chicagoan, I still have a hard time getting used to the near-agressive niceness of Austin folks. Dr. Patel didn’t just remedy my eye pain, he took me on a Masterclass journey into the alien world of my own eyeballs. Hilarious, wondrous, truly breathtaking and I enjoyed every second! Walked away thinking that if Dr. Patel had been one of my high school teachers, I might have chosen college instead of the Army. Lone Star looks to be my last stop in old lady eye care, but it should be your first. ️ ⭐

Doctor Schutte was excellent! Her friendly and calm disposition made it easy for me to ask her questions. Her explanations were thorough and professional, yet easy to understand.
The whole experience was so positive that I not only won’t dread or avoid going to my next eye appointment, I’ll actually look forward to it.

This was my first time at the office and what an awesome experience! They did not have a long wait time, nor did I have to arrive half an hour earlier and fill out million sheets of medical information, the doctor was attentive and patient and didn’t make me feel rushed. She explained everything about my condition and treatment options. I will definitely be back and will continue to recommend this office to everyone who needs it.

I have known Dr Laura Miller for probably 30 years. I have always been impressed with the professionalism and the awesome service I get from her team. I stepped on my new glasses, and they were able to bend them back into shape. They still look brand new! Thank you so much for everything y’all do for me. I highly recommend Northwest Hills Eye Care to anybody who is looking for an optometrist.

Every single person that I dealt with during my appointment was very kind. I had a strange vision anomaly, and my doctor was able to explain it to me beautifully. I feel much better after my appointment. I definitely recommend

I was treated professionally and my appointment was started and completed on time. My eye pressure test and eye exams were quick. I recommend Dr. Megan Schutte.

Everyone was uber competent and caring. The tests were quicker and less intrusive than I’ve ever had them. They got me in 2 days after I called for an appointment. Dr. Shutte made me feel muuuuuuuch better about my treatments. And the optometrist will even put new lenses in old frames! Very happy with the service!

I have an astigmatism, combined with farsightedness and a reading prescription. I’m also very picky, because I have to be able to read small print music at a distance of 3 – r feet. Dr. miller and Victoria took the time to make sure my prescription absolutely maximized my vision, and that the glasses and lenses are perfect! Thank You!

Super friendly staff and advanced office. I was in and out in 40 minutes or so. They even had a VR headset to check your eyes alignment.

They were super chill with me taking the prescription elsewhere to buy glasses! Highly recommend!

Always a terrific visit to see Dr. Tammy Vo and the staff at Look + See Vision Care. They have an impressive collection of glasses (not the usual brands you run into when visiting your optometrist), the team is unafraid to make smart suggestions (“have you ever considered daily contacts? here’s why —”), and the technology used during a check-up feels extremely modern/up-to-date. I highly recommend.

Also! You’ve gotta go just to visit Uni (Look + See’s celebrity dog). The best!

I had a fantastic experience at Look + See Vision Care! From the moment I walked in, the team was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly professional. My appointment started right on time—something that’s rare these days and much appreciated. The staff made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. Their attention to detail and level of care truly stood out. Special shout outs to Tyler and Dr. Lee! If you’re looking for a vision center that combines professionalism with a warm, personable touch, Look + See is the place to go. Highly recommend!

The optometrist is amazing, caring, and very thorough. The staff are all very welcoming and super helpful. The technology and care for patients is levels above my many years and many optometrist.

Last, the glasses selection are top notch h with a variety of designer/stylish glasses. Definitely choose Look + See!

Excellent experience! The staff was professional, patient, and incredibly helpful. I was surprised to find they have bilingual staff, as the optician helping us also spoke Spanish. They had a full selection of NanoVista glasses for children, which was hard to find elsewhere. She took her time fitting my special needs son without rushing us, and the appointment-only system ensured personalized attention in a calm environment. Highly recommend!

Who knew an eye exam could be such a great experience? From the moment I walked in, Chrissy made me feel totally at ease – super friendly and kept everything smooth and easy to understand. Dr. Lee was amazing too—knowledgeable, thorough, and you can tell she genuinely cares.
The tech in this office is next-level, they clearly prioritize using the best tools to provide top-notch care. If you’re due for an exam, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

I have been going here for over 5 years, and my experience just keeps getting better and better! They recently expanded and have lots of space and staff to make sure your visit is efficient and quality. They use the latest technologies and are very down to earth. They even welcomed my dog to the office! They also take my BCBS insurance. No hesitation – go here!

Few years coming here to take eyes exam. Very friendly staff, professional care and good recommendations. Last year I had care from Dr Justin and this year Dr Kelly. Both are amazing professionals. And they accepting different insurance carries, what is very good. Plus transparent and predictable billing.
Also lobby staff very friendly and helpful. I looked for compatible fishing line for my semi-rim Nike glasses last few months after my son step on them… now it’s solved with their help!!! Fishing line fit perfectly and glasses came to original condition. One glass fall out was my time-to-time problem a while.
So they are solving problems even not directly related to them. They deserve only that type of feedback.
Small business in a shape here how I wish to see it.

I’ve had a wonderful experience at this optical clinic. The staff is always kind and professional, and I truly feel well taken care of every time I visit. Miranda and Lorraine are both amazing, very helpful, and always make feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Dr. Zhu is the sharpest and most thorough optometrist I’ve seen in my 15 years in Austin. She made specific, personalized recommendations—including customized progressive contact lenses that significantly improved my vision. Their contact lens pricing matched the best online deals I found. The service was excellent, the clinic is spotless and high-tech, and they even use the Optomap machine, so no dilation was needed—a huge plus. 10 out of 10.

Dr Kelly Zhu was phenomenal. She took the time to go over my past history and answer all my quesyions. She gave me many options. The front staff was so friendly and helpful. I left having the best eye exam of my life. The place has a quiet, relaxed, no pressure vibe. As long as I live in Austin – this will be my eye doctor!

The whole team was great! My first eye appointment in years and I felt totally taken care of. Kelly did a great job of explaining everything and John was very patient as I picked out my glasses. I will be back!

I came in for an eye exam and contact lens fitting, and I had a great experience! It was my first time getting an eye exam, and Dr. Matsumoto was very thorough and patient with me. It was also my first time putting on contact lenses, so I really appreciated Dr. Matsumoto’s kindness and the time he took to teach me how to put them on and take them off. The office is also very modern and neat. I will be back!!

Kelly was very kind, patient and understanding. My eye exam was very quick and easy. Kelly answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. The front desk staff were very kind and soft spoken. Thank you Resolution Eyecare, I’m look forward to my next appointment!

I have been going to Dr. Stephen Shepherd for 15 years. I am always seen right on time. Office staff are friendly and helpful. Dr.Shepherd is so friendly and knowledgeable. The exam is thorough and done efficiently. When I needed cataract surgery he recommended a great place to go and worked with me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Shepherd

Austin Vision Care has taken care of my husband and I for many years. The office staff are friendly and efficient. Dr Donna is excellent and listens to concerns and taylors my plan of care to meet all of my needs. I highly recommend her or her husband. They’re very caring lovely professionals.

Awesome experience!
Staff is warm and thoughtful
Doc is very careful and detailed
Pays attention to a great many subtleties in the patients best interest.
Had great conversations with doc about classic rock and both live and recorded music.
Products are fair and transparently priced. All brands seem to be high quality. Just depends on preferences.
10/10

The staff is very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Scheduling is easy and Dr. Shepard is very nice! He takes time to explain the steps for the exam. Overall a wonderful experience!

I’ve seen Dr. Donna Shepherd for almost a decade and she’s always taken exceptional care of me. She’s thoughtful in her recommendations as my sight evolves, always making sure I understand our path forward.

It’s a trusting professional Healthcare relationship with a personal touch.

Dr. Stephen Shepherd, and all the staff are always so pleasant, professional, and very thorough. I always appreciate the honesty and care received during the exam. I highly recommend Austin Vision Associates And AVA Imaging across the hall as Jonathan and his staff are phenomenal!

Austin vision and Dr Sheppard are incredible caregivers . His staff is also very professional and timely . Dr makes us feel at ease and is every friendly and knowledgeable

Fantastic service received today from the eye Doctor named Lucy. Super professional, super accommodating and understanding regarding my condition. I had to have a small stitch removed from cornea which Lucy removed with zero pain. I couldn’t thank her enough! Highly recommend this location for all your eye issues.

Arboretum Eye Professionals is now Anderson Lane Vision Source! I’ve been coming here for the past 11 years and all I’ve experienced is nothing but the best quality service and exams. I’ve seen three different optometrists over the course of all these years and they’ve been exceptionally great along with office staff. I used to see Dr. Megan Schutte whom was so passionate about her field. She referred me to Mann Eye Insitute to get lasik and after some time I finally decided to do it!!! Well now I’m back to just get my regular eye exams after some dryness and they still have my records and are still delivering exceptional and detailed care! The owner is also so passionate about his field he’s decided to open several locations!!! I am so thankful for them and their passion. Ones vision should always be in the best hands and hands down I can say they are trustworthy and honest people.

2023 Update: I have to drop stars because I am concerned with their changing doctors – every year there is a new doctor and it is a hit or a miss. One year, Dr A is fantastic and the next year she isn’t anywhere to be found. Sometimes my prescription is right on, other years, it isn’t. They need to fix this. [First review] It’s my eye place and I wouldn’t have continued going there if it wasn’t good. Dr. Meghan is amazing and great at her job. I love the staff there, friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and well maintained. Even though they say walk-ins are welcome, I would suggest appointments, makes it easy for everyone. They have great contact lenses in stock. LensCrafters next door have discounts for their patients.

First time client-
I had a wonderful, easy experience. Dr. Kumar is amazing and answered all of my questions. She helped me find the right contact lenses for my lifestyle. I have astigmatism and it’s always hard to get my prescription perfect, but this is probably the best eyesight I’ve had since starting contacts. The front desk staff were very kind, and the technician who did my initial readings Leslie was awesome. I’m testing my daily’s and will likely fill my prescription, super great experience here and highly recommend!

Use to be located next to LensCrafters – moved without telling any of their patients. Made an appointment recently and found out via the new practice aka ATX Optometry.

Will be calling to have my records sent over.

Update from their response. In the 4 email addresses for my family, the only communication received is a direct email from 2021 in response to a question I sent them. This including a scan of junk folder. Their assumption that by sending out email they have notified all their patients is obviously wrong, as we’re not the only ones that have experienced this.

————

Moved without telling their patients. There are 4 of us here and not one of us received email on it. Tried to track them down from former name Arboretum Eye Professionals. Was told they are Austin Eye Professionals which is what shows up now on Google. The company that answers the phone number is a different provider. Not sure how I’m going to find my eye records, but will be starting over with a different company, which is ok because it was always hit or miss since they had such high eye doctor turn over.

Great service throughout the entire process! The girls up front were so kind and welcoming. The tech was just as friendly while doing my testing before I saw the doctor. Dr. Nizar was super knowledgeable as well as personable and really made sure to explain everything to me in a way I could actually understand! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!! 10/10 definitely recommend
