Eye Associates of Central Texas

What Eye Associates of Central Texas does

Eye Associates of Central Texas is a physician-owned ophthalmology practice founded in 1978 and headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, with additional clinics in Taylor and Georgetown. The practice provides comprehensive medical and surgical eye care to adult patients across the Central Texas corridor, including routine eye exams, cataract surgery (with standard, toric, and premium adjustable intraocular lens options), vitreoretinal surgery, corneal transplantation (DSAEK, DMEK, DALK, PKP), LASIK and PRK laser vision correction, refractive lens exchange, anti-VEGF injections, and urgent eye care. It is staffed by six physicians — four board-certified ophthalmologists with subspecialty fellowship training in cornea/external disease and vitreoretinal surgery (trained at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Dean McGee Eye Institute, Harvard/Mass Eye and Ear, Mount Sinai, and Baylor College of Medicine), and two therapeutic optometrists — supported by an Office Manager and Technician Manager.

The practice differentiates through a combination of credentialed talent and advanced technology, including the Light Adjustable Lens (the only post-operatively adjustable IOL on the market, offered via a Light Delivery Device), Custom Wavefront-guided LASIK/PRK, IntraLase blade-free femtosecond flap creation, and Optical Coherence Tomography imaging. Revenue is generated through insurance-reimbursed professional services (standard cataract surgery, medical retina, routine exams) supplemented by patient-paid premium IOL upgrades (Light Adjustable Lens, Toric lens) and elective procedures, with Alphaeon Credit financing available for out-of-pocket portions. Patient acquisition is multi-channel: physician referrals, Google and Facebook presence, YouTube video content, local TV features on Spotlight ATX, and patient reviews.

Operationally, the practice is an independent, physician-owned entity with no disclosed external investors, private equity, or parent company. It recently expanded with a third clinic location in Georgetown (April 2025) and added a clinical research program, signaling ongoing but incremental geographic and service-line growth. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
