“"Because we can't give them 10 Stars........"Mary and I moved to Tx recently and have tried different Optometrists for our annual eye exams.Today I give Refined Eye Care a 5 star review (only because I can't give them 10 stars).The location on HWY 46 is very convenient.The office is beautiful, clean and smartly attended to.My wife LOVED the complementary coffee / refreshment bar.We were greeted with smiles by Dee and Sharon at the front desk and in a few short minutes we felt like we were visiting with old friends. Typical, uncomfortable waiting room silence, was replaced with conversation and laughter.Macy, a 2x National Cheer Champion in college, enthusiastically did our exam with detailed explanations, in depth information and the answers to any / all questions we had.Alyssa was a joy to work with in discussing / choosing eyewear.She asked great questions, discovered our needs, did not oversell, handled all our insurance questions and paperwork and allowed us to walk out of our appointment feeling GREAT about the eyeglass / sunglass decisions we made.Dr Audrey was GREAT! Personable, friendly, warm, fun and VERY knowledgeable (Magna Cum Laude in both her undergrad and grad school education). We had questions about contacts, cataracts, Lasix, progressive lens, indoor/outdoor/daytime/ nighttime, occasional blurred vision I experience, macro degeneration, IPL treatment to restore eye moisture etc... .She was very patient in discussing our questions and extremely knowledgeable in providing explanations and answers.Did I mention she was SOOOOOOOOOO nice!We felt very comfortable and greatly appreciated her insight and guidance as we navigated decisions we needed to make.This clinic, Dr and staff deserve a 10 Star recommendation.If you are new to NBTX and/or are looking for an OD, look no further than Refined Eye Care, Mary and I highly recommend them.Paul Borchardt“

“I am so very impressed with Dr. S. Grant Smith, and the entire staff at New Braunfels Vision Center, that I felt compelled to share my story. I am a Registered Nurse who has been unable to work due to two issues with my eyes. Now, all my concerns have been resolved and I am elated. After my initial consultation with Dr. Smith, he diagnosed posterior subcapsular cataracts in both of my eyes. Dr. Smith and Surgery Coordinator Mika Taylor put together a strategy and plan of action to address my needs. Mika demonstrated incredible clarity in both organizational skills and communication of the plan in terms of presenting me with a detailed, well thought-out schedule moving forward. Perhaps the most amazing aspect of my care under Dr. Smith occurred at my initial meeting with him. I had previously undergone successful strabismus surgery on my left eye in early March of 2023. That surgery — which corrected a debilitating double-vision problem — was performed by a highly-regarded ophthalmologist working in San Antonio. Out of privacy and respect, I will not mention that doctor’s name. However, I will state that he has over 45 years of experience in his field. Although my two eyes were now in alignment after strabismus surgery, my left eye’s acuity was very poor. He told me, unequivocally, that I did not have cataracts, but that I would never again have clear vision with my left eye. In fact, the “best” that he could assure me of was that my left eye would attain 20/70 vision — which is legally considered to be “low vision.” In more functional terms, low vision is uncorrectable vision loss that interferes with daily activities. In other words, my left eye had permanently reduced vision which could not be corrected with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery. I was depressed, dejected, and filled with hopelessness. I continued to search for a different perspective, a solution, a way forward. I even consulted with a retina specialist. Just three short months after being told that I did NOT have cataracts and that my left eye would only reach a visual acuity of 20/70, I walked into my first appointment with Dr. Smith…and my life changed. His diagnosis explained why I was struggling so greatly to see clearly — even with my expensive glasses. The opacity of the cataracts interfered with my both my distance and reading vision, reduced my vision in bright light, and created glare, flickers, and halos around lights at night. This made driving dangerous as well. The cataract in my left eye was worse than that in my right eye — which explained why I was having such difficulty seeing well. After Dr. Smith performed my two cataract surgeries, I have quickly and completely recovered. Everything went as planned…even better than I had expected. My vision is 20/20 and I no longer need to wear either glasses or contact lenses — for the first time in over 55 years! I am once again able to live my life to the fullest, work, drive, and enjoy all of my hobbies. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and New Braunfels Vision Center to everyone. I have never been treated by such a team of caring professionals, who are knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, and dedicated to healing. Dr. Smith and his staff communicate extremely well and are always willing, able, and patient enough to answer any questions. I genuinely feel that I now have a new life. I couldn’t be any happier.“

“After wearing glasses for 60 years, I trust Dr. Hardy with my eye care implicitly. Thank you Dr. Hardy!“

“Great experience with this office. John got me an appointment for the next day! I had pain and broken blood vessel in eye. Dr. Renteria took her time to check both my eyes and explain what I had. 100% recommend Dr. Renteria, she is kind and caring :)“

“Great store! The lady who assisted us was very insightful and easy to talk to! Glasses came in when expected with no hassle and in perfect condition!Would recommend!!“

“The team at OnQ are literally the best, not only when it comes to lenses, and coatings. I’m also talking about customer service and prices. Will continue to use for years! ?“

“Just had a wonderful experience here ,from the person at the desk who greeted me ,to Samantha who did all of the preliminary tests, to Dr. Partieli. I was anxious about my exam as I've never had glasses and never had a full eye exam. I recently found out I have high blood pressure and I was nervous that it had effected my eyes. Samantha performed preliminary tests and was patient and explained everything and she was very kind. Dr Partieli was patient and thorough and answered all of my questions and showed me the pictures of my eyes and showed me where there were minor areas of concern. Her counseling and education was exactly what I was seeking out. I will go back to see them next year for my yearly appointment. Thanks to all who helped me today!“

“I was saddened and shocked when I accidentally ran over my favorite pair of sunglasses with lawn mower this past weekend. The lenses were fine but the frames had broke at the hinge. Had no clue where to take them to get repaired so I went to this place near my house and asked them if they could give me a recommendation? They didn't do this. Instead, one of the optometrist's took them and fixed them, and didn't charge me anything. So far, there is nothing wrong with my eyes, but I wouldn't hesitate to go here if there was, and I will go out of my way to recommend this place for anyone I know . It's acts of kindness like this that really tells you a lot about their integrity..“

“My wife received excellent care in your facility yesterday. Admin, medical staff and Dr all caring people. Explained exactly what and why each procedure was necessary.“

“Eye Care NB has wonderful doctors and great staff! They take great care of both my daughter and I.“

“Dr. Hardy & his staff are the only eye doctor I would recommend to anyone. They are the best! Eyes are very important for each of us and MyEyeDr. can be trusted to care for my eyes always.“
