To Our Patients and Families:
Eye Physicians of Austin has been proactive in preparing for, and continuing to adapt to, the rapidly changing situation surrounding COVID-19. We continue to implement best practices for preventing the spread of COVID-19 including precautionary cleaning and sanitizing, screening staff and patients, and wearing proper personal protective equipment.
Beginning on Monday May 4th, 2020 we will be seeing both new and established patients during our regular 8am – 5pm office hours. We will close for an hour between 11:30am – 12:30pm to allow for additional time for cleaning and sanitizing. For the safety of our patients and staff, the following temporary measures are in place:
• While an in-person visit to the ophthalmologist is often necessary, we are excited to be able to offer telehealth visits for some conditions. Please call 512-583-2020 to inquire if a telehealth visit is appropriate for your condition.
• Our providers are in the office for conditions requiring in-person visits. In order to ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff, the doctor’s technician will be contacting you 1 -2 days prior to your appointment to update your medical history, current medications, and other pertinent information.
• We will screen every visitor that comes to our facility upon arrival. Please plan to arrive no more than five minutes before your appointment time and come with a mask or face covering. During this time, you may be asked to reschedule if you are not wearing a face covering. Please wait for admission to the building by our staff as we complete screenings. We have allowed for ample time in our schedules to complete screenings on each visitor.
• We ask that only one companion accompany the patient to their appointment if necessary and that only children scheduled for an appointment visit our building.
• We are scheduling surgeries and procedure for our patients. If your surgery was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions, please know we are continuously monitoring guidelines so we can schedule your procedure when it is safe to do so. You may call 512-583-2020 for more information about the current schedule.
• Our Optical and Contact Lens departments are open and operating as usual on Monday through Fridays. We will resume Saturday hours as soon as possible.

Sometime after age 40, most people begin to experience blurred vision up close when performing tasks like reading, sewing, or working at the computer. This condition is called presbyopia.
Do your eyes ever burn, itch, or feel like they have sand or grit in them? You could be suffering from dry eyes, an under-recognized eye condition
A team of scientists have discovered that use of a gene that contributes to the growth of stem cells in the eye can help the cornea heal more quickly after it has been damaged due to trauma or disease.
"Convenient location and parking. I love that they disinfect all the equipment right in front of you before your face and chin touch all their eye testing equipments."
"Went in for a complete eye exam. The front desk staff were wonderful, very friendly and extremely helpful. the technicians in the back were extremely courteous..."
"Fantastic clinic. They took us in immediately on a Monday morning for concerning eye issues that developed right before the weekend...5 stars for sure!!!"
"Drs. Dai & Wollen of The Eye Physicians of Austin literally gave me back my sight!! I can't recommend these & all the doctors at The Eye Physicians of Austin enough!!!"
"Wow! They're so nice. I even had a nurse to hold my hand while some work was being done on my eye! Now, how sweet is that?"
"Dr. Peter Wollan walks on water, as far as I'm concerned. He did cataract surgery on my right eye and the results are amazing. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them."
"My wife and I have had great experiences with Eye Physicians of Austin. We've been seeing Dr. Buckingham for several years and she's always treated us well."

"Day 1 Lasik seeing perfectly. Much thanks to Dr. Pierce and Eric as its been seamless."
"I've been a glaucoma patient for over 30 years, n that time, I've learned how to tell the good from the bad glaucoma doctors, and Dr Wollan is definitely a good one."
"I recently saw doctor Khan Farooqui, an amazing person and physician really enjoyed his feedback for me and his medical attention."
"Dr. Wollan is outstanding. He took the time to explain my situation and the action that needs to be taken to prevent further damage."
" Dr. Pierce is personable and extremely competent. I can't recommend him or this practice enough."
"Dr. Dai removed a small piece of wire from right eye and I felt no pain. The eye soon healed and my 20-20 vision was returned."
"My husband and I have seen Dr. Plunkett at Eye Physicians of Austin for several years and we've received excellent care."
"Very professional operation. Dr. Buckingham is a great doctor with a pleasant manner. Wait times are reasonable and communication with the front desk is smooth."
