Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision quality and detect eye diseases. We evaluate refractive errors, eye coordination, and overall eye health while considering your medical history and lifestyle needs. Annual exams help maintain optimal vision and identify systemic health issues through ocular indicators.
Children's Eye Exams
Specialized exams for children aged 2+ using age-appropriate testing methods. We detect vision problems that could affect learning and development, including amblyopia and focusing issues. Early intervention ensures children develop proper visual skills essential for academic and athletic performance through comprehensive evaluations using LEA symbols and retinoscopy.
LASIK Co-Management
Pre- and post-operative care for LASIK surgery candidates. We conduct thorough evaluations to determine surgical eligibility and coordinate with specialized centers for the procedure. Our follow-up care ensures proper healing and optimal visual outcomes while monitoring long-term results through annual comprehensive exams after surgery.
Emergency Eye Care
Immediate diagnosis and treatment for eye injuries and acute conditions. Our optometrist manages emergencies like corneal abrasions, chemical exposures, and sudden vision changes using specialized diagnostic tools. We provide prompt care during office hours and direct after-hours emergencies to appropriate medical facilities.
Contact Lens Evaluation
Custom contact lens assessments for various vision needs. We evaluate suitability for different lens types, including specialty lenses for astigmatism and dry eyes. Our fittings consider lifestyle factors and ocular health while ensuring proper lens alignment and comfort through corneal topography measurements.

I have been seeing Dr. West since 2006 when she was at another location. She is always ready to explain new technology and offer contact samples. My eyes get extremely dry, I mountain bike, and have bad allergies. Surprisingly Dr. West does too! When I first started in contacts she spent I think 3 months getting me some that I could wear comfortably. My husband has a tricky prescription, in the past was told he could not wear contacts because they could not get him to 20/20. Dr. West has never had the issue. She is a very knowledgeable doctor, we have discussed my migraines, allergies, various health conditions.

Our experience here has been terrible. It used to be decent with he previous owner, but not any longer. They will purposefully find "medical" issues to bill your medical insurance as well as your vision plan. Ex: allergies They did not treat the medical issues just made egregious medical claims. This has never happened to us before nor will it again as we will never return here. We've seen plenty of other providers and did not experience this. Additionally, the glasses I purchased are unwearable.
Upon receiving them, I immediately went back inside and told them they were awful.ground looked to be in a different spot, made me feel like vomiting, etc. They did little to nothing to help me and just told me to keep wearing them. I wore them daily for many weeks but kept feeling ill. I called them to explain this and was told there was nothing that could be dine. I then went to another provider, paid for another set of glasses out of pocket, and I have not had any issues since then.

Optometrist was courteous and professional. Unfortunately, they charged us considerably more than our co-pay. A week later and I'm still waiting for a callback from their office to solve the issue. My husband and I didn't like the fact that we had to sign paperwork at the end of the exam, after we had our pupils dialated. Overall, the place is nice and the staff are friendly, my disappointment was their procedures for check-in and check-out.

Called the office on Thursday afternoon and they were able to schedule an appointment for the following afternoon to my son for his irritated eyes. They were awesome! Clean, punctual, informative, caring, friendly, everything you could want out of an office. We'll definitely be returning for our routine care.

My husband and I were in need of a new eye Dr. and they had both good reviews and availability. The Dr. was fantastic, 5 stars. She was patient, through, and helped us out a lot. Things however went down when it came to picking out glasses. My husband was looking at some pairs of sunglasses for his prescription while I was being examined and he felt enough high pressure sales tactics to buy from one of the workers that he texted me to make an excuse to leave. Picking out glasses takes time, you wear them everyday so you really want the right ones.
When I was done with my exam and we were both out front I also felt the high intensity and pushiness of the worker to purchase glasses. I understand that buying glasses is where a large portion of your profits come from, and we might have bought some, but feeling like we were pushed to do so resulted in us actually not purchasing anything. Oh well, at least the Dr. Was fantastic.

One fateful afternoon, I sat on my glasses and snapped them in half. "Oh well, " I thought, "off to the glasses store to get some new ones!" Little did I know, my previous provider was on a TWO WEEK wait for me to get an appointment. I said "can I just get a replacement order?" "NO, " they SHOUTED. "This is the COVID pandemic, and you need a full workup before you get new glasses!" "What am I supposed to do for two weeks, I can't see!" "Sorry, we cant help, " they continued. ***enter Texas Family Eyecare*** One professional phone call and I was squeezed in NEXT DAY!
They met me at the door for a light Covid screening and showed me to the cleanest office I could have imagined Dr. Gjolberg was extremely friendly and professional. She spent extra time with me as I'm notoriously bad at the "1 or 2" game they play to find your prescription. In and out in 20 min, with a brand new script and new glasses on the way. Glad I found my new eye doc! Highly recommended by a local Austinite : PS. It was the cheapest eye doctors visit I've ever had! And I've had a few!

Thank you to Dr West and her staff for taking care of us yesterday! She is always so thorough and makes sure my eyes are healthy even with my diabetes. Her office staff is friendly and professional, always greeting the family by name and willing to help us make the right choices when it comes to our frames and lenses.
