The Staff are nice and Dr Wong is great me and my wife have had all 4 of our cataract surgery’s there

I just completed cataract surgery with panoptix lens implant. This lens provides excellent vision at all distances. Because of my history since 8 years old with nearsightedness, contact lens, glasses, etc., this is the first time in my life I am "glasses" free. I'm thrilled. The pre-op exam and experience was very informative and with state of the art equipment and staff. Dr. Wong's skill is without rival. Laverne W

Had laser cataract surgery on my first eye last week. The procedure was painless and went very smoothly. Ashley was my pre-surgery attendant and did a fabulous job of explaining all the procedures. Then in surgery Tricia was the nurse with me during the procedure and explained everything along the way. David was also attending in the surgery room. David is the person who I met with prior to surgery who answered all of the questions I had during my pre-surgery meeting. I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Wong as my surgeon. He is a pioneer in cataract surgery. Austin Eye runs a very efficient operation and everyone I dealt with was very knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend Austin Eye and can't wait to have surgery on my 2nd eye.

Dr. Wong was very patient answering my many, many questions leading up to cataract surgery on each eye several months apart (my choice due to travel). He is a busy professional but is also kind & clearly passionate about what he does. I wanted laser & was glad to pay out-of-pocket but he saved me $1000's by telling me I would get just as good results without it & I did, so add ethical to that list as well. The initial exam is fast but the follow-up education/paperwork takes awhile but it's because they want to ensure clear understanding. Last but not least, having the procedures at his facility were so much more convenient than an outpatient surgical facility & I believe safer because his well-trained surgical team has worked together for a long time. The 'prep' team is reassuring & fully understand patient concerns. The front office staffers are responsive & well-informed. Thank you. P.S. I want to add Dr. Wong corrected me for distance AND close vision which is tricky because I was so near-sighted but could still read fine print – he was able to do this without specialty lenses. Remarkably, I was glasses/contact lens free after 50+ years, paying just my standard Medicare costs & medications not covered. My procedures were in 2019. I now have some cell regrowth – common after any cataract surgery and has nothing to do with surgeon skill or lens choice – that can be corrected via laser (yag laser posterior capsulotomy). Also,on my initial exam, Dr. Wong discovered a retinal issue of which I was totally unaware. I was referred to a retina specialist before getting the ok to proceed. Sorry this is so long but this is the kind of info I was looking for prior to my cataract surgery.

I recently had cataract surgery with Dr. Shannon Wong of Austin Eye and could not have been happier. The whole experience was smooth and easy. Everyone I dealt with was kind and friendly. The whole procedure and cost options were explained thoroughly prior to surgery. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and, happily, I had no discomfort following the procedure. This experience was the polar opposite of my first cataract surgery which left me in pain for 4 days and cost me 3 times as much. I highly recommend Austin Eye. Everyone is thorough and professional as well as kind and supportive…a truly superior experience!
