Eyes of Texas Laser Center

October 27, 2022 is Eyes of Texas Laser Center’s 25th Anniversary!  We are grateful for our clients who have visited us from all over the world.  Thank you for the opportunity to help you achieve “visual freedom” over the years!

Time sure flies…Today marks the 2nd anniversary of opening the doors at our new office (2901 North Shields Drive, Austin TX) after being in our previous location over 20 years. That was some move!!  Happy Anniversary, EOTLC! 

At Eyes of Texas Laser Center, we are focused on helping you achieve “visual freedom” in 2020.  For over 20 years, Dr. L. Shawn Wong, M.D. has helped clients in Austin, central Texas and beyond achieve independence from glasses, contact lenses, reading glasses and bi-/tri-focals with Customized LASIK, Lens Implant Vision Correction, and Premium Lens Cataract procedures.

As a reminder, we have moved!  Our office and state-of-the-art surgery facility are now located at 2901 North Shields Drive, Suite 100 in Austin.  We are at the corner of North Shields Drive and the northbound frontage road of Mopac (between Parmer Lane and Scofield Ridge Parkway).  See you here soon!

From everyone at Eyes of Texas Laser Center:  Happy New Year!  May you prosper in all ways in 2020 and beyond!

October 2013 marks the start of  Dr. L. Shawn Wong and Eyes of Texas Laser Center’s 17th year at their Spicewood Springs Road location.  We’ve enjoyed helping our clients achieve visual freedom from their glasses and contacts over the years.  We look forward to helping many more Central Texans do the same in the years to come.  Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations to Eyes of Texas Laser Center’s surgeon, L. Shawn Wong, M.D., for being featured in the January 2013 issue of Austin Monthly’s “431 Top Doctors 2013.”  The magazine used Avvo, a company which selects doctors based on a “proprietary algorithm that rates all doctors on a 10 point scale, factoring in peer endorsements, experience, education, training, research, publishing and awards.*”

This year’s Austin Monthly listed doctors in 59 different specialties, with Dr. Wong appearing in the “Ophthalmology” heading.  L. Shawn Wong, M.D. has been helping his clients achieve visual freedom from glasses and contact lenses for over 20 years with state-of-the-art vision correction procedures such as LASIK and Lens Implant vision correction.  This is his 16th year at his 4019 Spicewood Springs location in Austin, TX.

It’s a common question that we hear at Eyes of Texas Laser Center, especially as the summer months or extended winter holidays approach…”When can I take a trip after having my LASIK surgery?” 

The vast majority of our clients drive themselves to our office the day after their LASIK surgery for their first post-op visit.  So taking a trip even the day after surgery is fine, pending our surgeon’s (L. Shawn Wong, M.D.’s) approval at the post-op appointment. 

Of course it’s very important that you continue your post-surgery drop regimen even while traveling.  If you’re reaching your destination by airplane, be sure to have your drops (especially your artificial tears) with you in the cabin since the recirculated air can be quite dry.  If you’re driving, take regular “drop breaks” to keep your eyes nice and hydrated. 

Following your surgeon’s recommendations, combined with keeping your eye drop schedule, should help you comfortably reach your destination…all while enjoying the sights along the way with your renewed vision!

“Many thanks” to our client, Mike Reed, for taking the time to write such an in-depth and honest account of his LASIK experience here at Eyes of Texas Laser Center.  Take the time to read his LASIK vision correction story at http://www.mikereedphoto.com/blog/?p=534   Mike is a wonderful Austin area wedding/family photographer who is enjoying his renewed vision from LASIK.  His website is www.mikereedphoto.com

Thanks again, Mike.

At Eyes of Texas Laser Center, we specialize in a variety of vision correction procedures.  Since Customized LASIK may not be the best choice for everyone, we offer other options could help you achieve your best vision…without the daily hassles of glasses and contact lenses.

Recently we saw a client who was very interested in LASIK surgery when she originally came in about 10 years ago.  Back then, LASIK eye surgery was not an optimal choice for her.  However, now she is a perfect candidate for Lens Implant Vision Correction, which can correct her vision conditions created by both “Mother Nature” and “Father Time.”   

So, if you’ve been told previously that vision correction surgery is not for you, come in to Eyes of Texas Laser Center and see what options you may have.  Our surgeon, Dr. L. Shawn Wong, M.D, will demonstrate your vision options.  You might be pleased to learn that your time is now to achieve visual freedom!
