Dr Mark Lindsay
Dr Lindsay is an ophthalmologist, more of a surgeon than a basic eye doc.
I recommend Precision Eye Care- that is who I personally use and send many patients and I've never had any complaints.

Dr. Tracy Scasta. 979/695-2020
Crystal Vision on Rock Prairie. I've seen both Dr Mays and Dr White. Highly recommend either of them.
I also recommend Crystal Vision - been a patient for many years - with Dr Brice before her untimely death. Dr Mays is no nonsense, kind and thorough. I really like their selection of frames - go every year for an update on prescription. Recommend highly.
Big fan of Dr Scasta. She has been great with all of my stuff (eye injury from Clear Care that didn't neutralize, lattice degeneration, risk for glaucoma, astigmatism, and all around bad eye sight).
I don't have vision insurance, but didn't feel like the cost was outrageous. Definitely more than your standardwalk-in optometrist attached to a big box store, but reasonable for the level of care I received.
And she's great about immediate appointments for eye injuries if that's a concern lol.

I tried Dr. Lindsay (Mark) for a few years, but finally left him because he couldn't start the appointment on time and generally delayed the appointment up to 45 minutes every time. (around 4 visits over 3 years)
Very important to me that a physician is as respectful to my time as I am of his. For this reason, I haven't settled on a specific physician with my vision insurance changing... have been going out of town temporally, so will follow this thread.

My main experience with Scasta are morning apts, but have never had issues with apt being delayed
Costco
I've used Dr. Brendon Lauer with Visionworks in the mall for many years.
Thank you all very much for your replies. I appreciate it!
I wouldn't recommend anybody that sells their own glasses or contacts. All they do is try to upsell the hell out of you. One of them called my daughter, a minor, and ordered contacts over the phone. I don't know how they got her phone number. They didn't either.
Yes, I have used him since the late 1990s. Been there many times, including in Oct (last month). I like him the best.halibut sinclair said:

Are they open again? I had an eye injury on a Sat (hard to find a solution after hours) - and they have been closed for months. Maybe they have reopened.jphil1 said:

You can always go to BSW Urgent Care or St Joseph Express Care for an eye injury on the weekend or after hours. They can assess it, and if necessary, both have opthamologists in their systems at the hospitals.

They had an eye doctor outside of the main store. The entrance is off to the side. Last time i went there, it had a sign on the door claiming it was closed for remodeling. I went to the Costco optometrist over a year ago, when I had an eye injury happen while shooting a handgun on a Saturdayjphil1 said:Costco only does does eyeglass'sMister Shipwreck said:Are they open again?

Thanks for the info. Other than giving some drops, I didn't think they had the equipment to do too much with eyes.histag10 said:Mister Shipwreck said:Are they open again?
