About us
Central Texas'
Most Trusted
Eye Care Team.
For more than 30 years, Texan Eye has been the practice Central Texans — and their doctors — choose for surgical and medical eye care.
Serving Central Texas – State-of-the-Art Cataract & LASIK Surgery
Austin's Surgical Eye Care Team
For more than 30 years, Texan Eye has provided cataract surgery, LASIK, and comprehensive ophthalmology services to residents of Central Texas. More Central Texans choose Texan Eye for their vision needs than any other practice in the region.
Our team of 15 ophthalmologists and therapeutic optometrists serves patients across four locations in Austin and Cedar Park. Several of our surgeons are recognized nationally and internationally as leaders in cataract and refractive surgery — and all have received advanced specialty training. If you are considering eye surgery, why not visit the surgeons that other doctors choose for their own vision care?
Texan Eye operates out of three clinical offices and a dedicated surgery center — Eye LASIK Austin — where LASIK, cataract, and other surgical procedures are performed. We serve Central Texas residents, international patients, and those traveling from out of state.

If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for vision correction surgery, please schedule a complimentary LASIK Screening or a comprehensive refractive surgery consultation. A screening serves to address your individual needs, answers your questions and concerns, and prepares you for your refractive surgery consultation. During your comprehensive refractive surgery consultation, your surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your health and take detailed measurements of your eyes to determine the best treatment for your particular visual demands. After carefully discussing your options and reviewing your doctor’s treatment strategy, your surgery will be scheduled promptly.
