“After cataract surgery on one eye, I needed a new contact lens for the other. Having worn hard contacts for several decades due to astigmatism, I was not aware that soft contacts would be an option. I was in and out as a new patient in one hour, wearing a new soft contact. I did not feel rushed and received great attention from the technicians and Dr. I can highly recommend them.“

“This was a friendly enviroment, nice employees. Very helpful and knowledgeable, took time to explain things. One of the best experiences I've had at an eye Dr office“

“First class eye exam and surgery. Was sent to the Eye Associates of South Texas for a cataract consultation by my local eye doctor. Saw Dr. Kavanagh at the consultation who diagnosed me with a surgical cataract. At which point he explained my lens (IOL) options and recommended a Panoptix lens, two cataract surgeries later I can now see without glasses for driving and reading. I'm so pleased with my results and it was painless. I would recommend the Eye Associates of South Texas and Dr. Kavanagh to all my friends and family.“

“Amazing! The care I received exceed my expectations. Thank you all so much for your care. Dr Mankin is is so caring and professional along with her entire staff.

“Fast, yet patient. Shows a true concern about the patient's vision. A very professional eye doctor office visit“

“I am so very impressed with Dr. S. Grant Smith, and the entire staff at New Braunfels Vision Center, that I felt compelled to share my story. I am a Registered Nurse who has been unable to work due to two issues with my eyes. Now, all my concerns have been resolved and I am elated. After my initial consultation with Dr. Smith, he diagnosed posterior subcapsular cataracts in both of my eyes. Dr. Smith and Surgery Coordinator Mika Taylor put together a strategy and plan of action to address my needs. Mika demonstrated incredible clarity in both organizational skills and communication of the plan in terms of presenting me with a detailed, well thought-out schedule moving forward. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of my care under Dr. Smith occurred at my initial meeting with him. I had previously undergone successful strabismus surgery on my left eye in early March of 2023. That surgery — which corrected a debilitating double-vision problem — was performed by a highly-regarded ophthalmologist working in San Antonio. Out of privacy and respect, I will not mention that doctor’s name. However, I will state that he has over 45 years of experience in his field. Although my two eyes were now in alignment after strabismus surgery, my left eye’s acuity was very poor. He told me, unequivocally, that I did not have cataracts, but that I would never again have clear vision with my left eye. In fact, the “best” that he could assure me of was that my left eye would attain 20/70 vision — which is legally considered to be “low vision.” In more functional terms, low vision is uncorrectable vision loss that interferes with daily activities. In other words, my left eye had permanently reduced vision which could not be corrected with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery. I was depressed, dejected, and filled with hopelessness. I continued to search for a different perspective, a solution, a way forward. I even consulted with a retina specialist. Just three short months after being told that I did NOT have cataracts and that my left eye would only reach a visual acuity of 20/70, I walked into my first appointment with Dr. Smith…and my life changed. His diagnosis explained why I was struggling so greatly to see clearly — even with my expensive glasses. The opacity of the cataracts interfered with my both my distance and reading vision, reduced my vision in bright light, and created glare, flickers, and halos around lights at night. This made driving dangerous as well. The cataract in my left eye was worse than that in my right eye — which explained why I was having such difficulty seeing well. After Dr. Smith performed my two cataract surgeries, I have quickly and completely recovered. Everything went as planned…even better than I had expected. My vision is 20/20 and I no longer need to wear either glasses or contact lenses — for the first time in over 55 years! I am once again able to live my life to the fullest, work, drive, and enjoy all of my hobbies. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and New Braunfels Vision Center to everyone. I have never been treated by such a team of caring professionals, who are knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, and dedicated to healing. Dr. Smith and his staff communicate extremely well and are always willing, able, and patient enough to answer any questions. I genuinely feel that I now have a new life. I couldn’t be any happier.“

“You can certainly pay more or find a shop with different insurance connections. You will however not find better quality frames, lenses and fitting.After forgetting about CE, we're happy to go back always.“

“After wearing glasses for 60 years, I trust Dr. Hardy with my eye care implicitly. Thank you Dr. Hardy!“

“Came in for a free eye exam, received the greatest care from all the ladies that assisted from checking in, to getting the pre screen to the actual exam. A huge shout out to my niece Audrey for recommending this place. I'm going to LOVE my new glasses and thank you ALL for the assistance.“

“The staff is some of the friendliest people I’ve met! The two lady’s at the front desk are super helpful and kind! And the two lady’s that did my son’s exam are always kind as well, he loves going here! Highly recommend choosing Eye Care New Braunfels for your vision needs!“

“Dr. Travis Parker did an outstanding job explaining my test results and took time to answer all of my questions.“

“Everyone who works there is so wonderful! They are professional, kind and very willing to address all of your concerns. But I really have to give Lori the glasses tech a HUGE thank you! She worked with me to find the right glasses that worked with my budget! Really went above and beyond! Definitely needs a raise!“
