Eyeglasses & Contacts

eyeglassesMaking a decision about your eyewear goes beyond good vision and makes a statement about who you are. Your decision affects how you see and also how you want to be seen by others. But with so many different styles to choose from, getting the right look for your face and your lifestyle can be overwhelming. 

Our staff will help you find the best fit for your specific needs and explain how different lenses and frames will impact your vision. They will help you narrow down your choices so you can find the look, fit and functionality you want from your eyewear. 

We offer a large selection of eyeglasses, contact lenses and designer frames and sunglasses. We carry the latest European and American designer eyewear collections in a variety of styles, colors and materials including titanium, stainless steel and plastic.

New clients and all our current patients are welcome to visit us with their current prescription – no appointment necessary.  

  • Contact Lenses
    We offer a wide range of contact lenses to fit your needs including contact lens exams and fittings.
  • Designer Frames
    We carry a large variety of top designer frames for both eyeglasses and sunglasses.
  • Sunglasses
    Whether or not you require vision correction, sunglasses can add an element of comfort and enhanced performance to your activities, while helping you look great.
  • Eyeglass Basics
    Eyeglasses are more popular today than ever, despite the availability of contact lenses and vision correction surgery.
  • Prescription Eyeglasses
    Get tips on caring for your lenses and frames and learn about the benefits of bifocals, progressives, high index lenses and prescription sunglasses.
  • Specialty Eyewear
    Sports glasses, Protective eyewear, SCUBA diving... we can help you with glasses for your specific needs.
  • Lens Treatments
      Today’s eyeglass lens treatments make a real difference in what you see, and what you don’t see. Scratches, glare, ultraviolet rays—all are potential hazards to healthy sight that can be minimized or eliminated by a lens treatment.  
  • Transitions Lenses
    Transitions Optical, Inc. has developed the world's most advanced photochromic lens technology—the ability of a lens to darken in the presence of invisible UV light.  Transitions lenses are the #1 brand of photochromic lenses recommended by eye care professionals worldwide.

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. 

Eye Trends Lakeline
13201 FM 620 Bldg. R, Ste 100

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.
