Eye Care Services

From eye exams and contact lens fittings, to laser vision correction, our optometrists provide comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages. We also treat a range of conditions such as "pink-eye", the diabetic eye, dry eye and macular degeneration.

Our services include:

  • Comprehensive Eye Exams
    Learn more about what problems can be spotted with an eye exam, what’s involved in a comprehensive exam, and special considerations for kids and contacts.
  • Management of Ocular Diseases
    Including Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, and Cataracts.
  • Advanced Technology
    We use the most up-to-date technology to ensure the best eye care possible. Learn about the different types of tests and equipment you may experience on a visit to our practice.
  • Emergencies, Pink/Red Eyes & Foreign Body Removal
    Did you know your optometrist can help you with red eyes, pink eye, or sore eyes, foreign body removal and eye emergencies?
  • LASIK Surgery
    If you're ready for an alternative to glasses and/or contacts, LASIK may be the right solution for you!
  • Refractive Surgery Co-Management
    Look to us for co-management of LASIK, cataract, and other ocular surgery.
  • Dry Eye Treatment
    Dry eyes result from the chronic lack of lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye, which can cause minor irritations, an inability to wear contact lenses and an increased risk of corneal inflammation and eye infections.
  • Orthokeratology
    Orthokeratology, or "ortho-k," is the process of reshaping the eye with specially-designed rigid gas permeable contact lenses. The goal of ortho-k is to flatten the front surface of the eye and thereby correct mild to moderate amounts of nearsightedness and astigmatism.
  • Latisse
     Try Latisse™  for longer, thicker lashes.
  • Sports and Specialty Eyewear Fitting
    Sports eyewear can give you the performance edge you're seeking for just about any sport (tennis, racquetball, etc.) or recreational activity (hunting, fishing, etc.). It can also provide the safety and eye protection you need as well.
  • Visual Field Testing
    Measures the quality of your side vision (peripheral vision). Usually involves covering one eye and focusing the other on a fixed point in front of you, while describing what you can see on the “periphery” of your vision.

We regret to inform you that our practice will be closing its doors effective 12-16-24.

It is with great disappointment and heavy hearts to announce that our potential buyer faced an unsurmountable impasse negotiating a lease agreement with the landlord, and therefore he will not be purchasing Balcones Eyecare as planned. Consequently, we will be closing our practice effective December 16, 2024. Regrettably, this is an unexpected change from the recent communication that you may have previously received.

Dr Patrick R Harrison, OD, is continuing to see patients at the following location. Please call 512-336-2020 to schedule an appointment.

Dr David Hammond and Dr Yi-Ming have retired from optometry and will no longer be seeing patients. 

We have arranged for all of our patient records to be transferred to a nearby practice, Lakeline Vision Source, where Dr. Eric Hammond, son of Dr. David Hammond, is highly recommended. He and his team of doctors and staff look forward to providing all of your eye care needs. They are open six days a week for your convenience. Their contact information follows:

Although Dr. Eric Hammond will have your patient records, your medical records are confidential, and a copy can be transferred to another doctor or released to you or another person whom you have designated. If you choose to see a doctor at a different practice, then please contact Lakeline Vision Source so they may release your files to your new doctor. Until then, your records will remain on file at Lakeline Vision Source. 

We want to thank you for entrusting us with your eye care needs. It truly has been an honor to serve you for all of these many years. We appreciate the friendships developed, and we will miss you. We wish you the best for your future health.
