EyeCare Associates of East Texas

Excellent eye doctor. I've gone to him for years and he's very knowledgeable and competent. If he can't handle something he knows where to refer I recommend him 100%.

This was my first visit to this office. Everything about my visit was great. Very friendly staff and doctor. Receptionist ladies were very helpful and Misty was very knowledgeable in explaining the insurance side of it when I was looking at eyeglasses. Dr. Troy was very good at explaining what he was doing and how things worked during the exam. I’m glad I moved my eye care to eye care associates in Lindale.Thank you,C. Benge

Went on 4/1/21. Needed new contacts Rx. Cost $125, which included a new glasses Rx. Tested for glaucoma, which was a very quick test with a handheld device (a tonometer?). Also got 5 free pairs of my contacts Rx to see if they worked. If not, I could come back in for free and try a different brand. I asked for dailies and was prescribed 1-Day Acuvue Moist. They seem pretty good! Asked for an extended expiration date, as I know that's legal and I didn't want to have to renew my Rx each year, but Dr. Cooper was afraid of liability. Understandable. Also let him know I'm trying to save money and would probably order online. Dr. Cooper was very professional. Also, he warned me that dailies will often cost a lot more than bi-weeklies, so I appreciate that. As it turns out, the cost at Dr. Cooper's office for my brand is on par with 1-800-contacts, and of course, you're supporting a local business. Beforehand, I had called around, and other optometrists charged the same or more for a contacts Rx. Long story short, I was very happy Dr. Cooper and his staff, and I recommend them.(In full disclosure to help those also on a budget, if your Rx hasn't changed (i.e., your contacts still work fine), then you can renew your Rx online for $20. 1-800-contacts does it, but I think others are even free (if you order from them). No glaucoma test, though. Google for at-home/DIY options; hopefully they'll get better/cheaper soon.)
