Mask Mandate Update – A Message To Our Valued Patients:

Texas Governor, Greg Abbot, announced that some statewide COVID-19 mandates will be lifted as of 03/10/21. The most notable of those being the mask mandate.

As we know, although vaccines are being distributed throughout the state, COVID-19 remains a serious concern in our state, and new cases are still being confirmed daily.

In a continued effort to prioritize the safety of our patients and community, we will continue to require the use of masks while in our office. We are fully committed to ensuring the safety of both our team and patients as we navigate this ongoing pandemic.

In addition to requiring mask use, our office will continue to practice all other COVID-19 safety protocols, including constant sanitation and practicing social distancing where possible.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. The safety of our patients and team is and has always been our top priority.

Thank you and stay safe,
Dr. Keith Manuel

Some of Our Services to Our Patients

In addition to performing comprehensive eye exams and fitting for glasses and contact lenses, we also evaluate the health of your eyes, and how well they work. We do this using a number of painless, non-invasive high technology tools that allow us to test and measure every aspect of your eyes. This gives us a better idea of what your eyes need to see at their best and be as healthy as possible.

We also perform LASIK surgery to correct things like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and to remove cataracts. We do complete diagnostic tests before the surgery to make sure you’re an excellent candidate for it, and provide all post-operative care, too.
