Our Eye Doctors

Eye care professionals specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as diseases and conditions that affect your vision—many of which do not always have obvious symptoms. Eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses, both as eyeglass lenses and contact lenses.

Our optometrists take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, we encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.

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

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.
