I had been avoiding going to the eye doctor for a few years, and they accepted me as a self-pay client. They have a special machine that means you don't have to get eye dilation drops (hell yea!), so I can actually return to work and do stuff the rest of the day on the computer or read. That is a HUGE plus. They were open on MLK day and conveniently located off Lamar. Dr. Dugas explained the purpose of each test rather than just doing the tests like they did at my eye doctor in Houston. He was also practical in how we wear contacts and glasses and allowed me to save about $300 on contacts by switching brands even after our session ended. You can also complete your forms online rather than getting there and filling out by hand as many offices require. Kudos to Dr. Dugas and this practice for making an eye appointment less of a full day costly hassle.

I was referred to Dr. Dugas from a co-worker and I have to say, the staff is amazing and super friendly. They made me feel very welcome. They have a wide variety of eye wear and the office is very comfortable. Just recently went for a contact lens exam and Dr. Dugas was very informative and turns out that my previous prescription was too strong. I would recommend Dr. Dugas to my friends and family.
I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. The staff are so nice, and I can get in day-of if I ask. My issue with them is their prices on glasses. I found the same pair for $50 less online...
