I have been going to Dr. Bui for over two years and have been pleased from day one. First, Dr. Bui is a caring individual who explains and educated me on the different procedures. Second, the group has the latest equipment where you don’t need to have your eyes dilated. Third, she is a great surgeon, with my eyesight again at 20/20. Last, the staff is very organized and conveys a professionalism with care being the main objective.

I can't begin to tell you how happy I have been with Austin Eye. Dr. Wong's staff from the first call I made to inquire, to the surgical nurses and all office staff in between have just been fantastic. So much transparency, I knew exactly how much my cataract surgery and lens replacement was going to cost, allowing me to budget for the procedure. Pleasant but not surprised that is exactly what I paid. The surgical staff was very professional, kind, and thorough. Because Dr. Wong has his own on site surgery center he does not have to outsource this expense which lowered my cost and provided me with a seamless experience. I met with Dr. Wong to discuss my condition and felt immediately at ease. His confidence in his skill is immediately noticeable and although he has patients lining up to see him he makes you feel like you're the most important when he is in the room with you. He took all the time needed to answer all my questions without making me feel like I was holding him up from seeing others. Dr. Wong doesn't hide in his office, I saw him with office staff, surgical staff, and other patients. He is a high energy guy with a love for helping people. The surgery went great and I haven't worn my glasses since. I can't remember the last time I gave a 5 star rating probably because I don't hand them out often, but trust me this is the group you want to use for eye care. Thank you Dr. Wong!! Special thanks to the following people: Caleb, Tony, Office Staff, Surgical Nurses, and Dr. Pham

I couldn’t be happier with my cataract surgery. I even had fun! The staff and Dr. Bui are incredible. I love seeing colors again and having 20/20 vision without glasses. The only downside was finding out we don’t need that new TV after all. It is working just fine now I can see.

My vision started to deteriorate in my mid-40s. First to go was near vision, then far. I kept up with my declining vision to a point with increasingly strong prescription glasses. Finally, Dr. Wong said, very kindly but frankly, “You know, Dan, there is only so much we can do about your cataracts from the outside (with glasses). Sooner or later, your vision will get so bad you’ll require laser lens replacement.” Well, I dragged my feet more than 5 years on that one. I had tried contact lenses previously, and ended up throwing them in the trash. I couldn’t stand them in my eyes, even if I could eventually manage to get them inserted in the first place! No way I was doing eye surgery! Are you kidding? The decline was gradual, but I finally lost central vision in my left eye due to a dense cataract. As a retired physician, I am quite aware of potential complications of surgery, but I was becoming functionally blind. I finally had no choice but to get this fixed. Dr. Wong replaced the lens in my left eye August 18. Post-op, the visual clarity was so jaw-dropping I immediately scheduled the right eye! One day post-op from that my visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes, and it keeps getting better! If I had a third eye, I’d be signed up for that one as well. Fear is the only thing that kept me from doing this years ago. Dr. Wong and his staff are so professional, yet kind, supportive, and empathetic I could not imagine a better experience. And guess what? ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN whatsoever! The worst part was having to stare into bright lights for a few minutes. Seriously. Piece of cake. Make Dr. Shannon Wong and the staff at Austin Eye part of your A-team! You will be amazed at what they can accomplish in literally the blink of an eye. Superheroes!

Nearly all my life I’ve had to wear glasses and or contacts. I dealt with being near sighted , a right lazy eye , and astigmatism in both eyes as well as double vision . A few years back I was told by my acting eye Dr. that I had early stages of cataracts. Hearing this worried me as to how would I ever be able to afford to have ANY SURGERY done to correct the issue. My husband had his first cataract surgery with Dr. Shannon Wong at Austin Eye . He strongly urged me to make an appointment for an evaluation to see if I could qualify for the procedure( s ) to done. Sure enough I did qualify and my first procedure was on June 9 , 2020 ( for the left eye ) and the second on June 16th , 2020 ( for the right eye ). I was treated with the highest professionalism and courtesy from Dr. Wong and the staff of Austin Eye. I now am seeing better and better as time goes on and I am DELIGHTED with the results !!! It’s the first time in over 50 + years of my life that I can see clearly and WITHOUT GLASSES OR CONTACTS !!! It has really been a life changing experience for me ! I feel AMAZING and so much more HAPPIER now ! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND Austin Eye to any and all who are dealing with vision problems. Dr. Wong and the staff at Austin Eye have far exceeded my expectations and I give them all a GLOWING 5 STAR RATING !!! Thanks to Austin Eye I now have a happier outlook and quality of life !!!! Russ Hummel – Lewis ( A VERY HAPPY MAN )
