Patient Testimonial
Hello, I wanted to comment on my experience I had with your office. I had LASIK done on Jan 7th and cannot tell you in words how awesome the entire experience has been for me. I met Melissa at a healthfair in Oct (we were both vendors there). She was a great help in explaning uncertainties I had. About a month later I came in for my consult and Theresa took me every step as if I had known her forever. We clicked immediately! She was absolutely awesome in explaining everything step by step and answered ALL questions I had. I then met Dr Rhodes and also had a great experience with him. When I came in for my surgery, I was very impressed at the level of professionalism every one had. Diane got me ready, and I remember Amber (?) (or Angela?) said her only job was to hold my hand! It was so comforting. When I went in for the surgery I was so impressed that as Dr Rhodes was performing each step, Theresa was telling me what was happening! I sat up and could see! How life changing it was! I did end up having some complications that night and we didn't get back to see Dr Rhodes until the next day. When we arrived that morning, Rachel took great care of me quickly and earlier than the office even opened I think! She was very gentle and got me comfortable! Exactly what I needed. After I saw Dr Rhodes and he had to "fix me up" he said he wanted to see me on Saturday. When we arrived on Saturday, I was so surprised to realize the office was not normally open seeing patients. He and Theresa came in just for me! I thought I was impressed already, but that took the cake! I am a District Manager for 6 Castle Dental offices and all the specialists that work for us and we train extensively around G3! Greeting, Guiding, and Gratitude. I can say that my G3 experience at your office was beyond par and exceeded all expectations I had. I have told everyone I know and some that I don't know that they needed to go to your office and see Dr Rhodes and his staff! I truly appreciate the experience and hope you realize how you really are changing lives! You've changed mine!
Please share this message with the team and please tell all of them they did a FANTASTIC job!
Regards, Becky Evans

LASIK: Its Second Decade
Laser Vision Correction is in its second decade of helping patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Today, the goal of laser vision correction is not only to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, but also to improve the quality or crispness of one's vision to a level that is better than possible with glasses or contact lenses. It is a comfortable, safe and effective outpatient procedure. There's typically little or no post-operative discomfort. Recovery is fast and complications are rare. Your vision returns quickly, usually without the need for glasses or contacts. Most patients will experience significantly improved vision immediately after surgery. Protective glasses are often provided for patients to wear during sleep for a short period of time. If Laser Vision Correction is something you are considering, Free LASIK Evaluations are available at our office to find out whether you are a LASIK candidate. You can also view an informative LASIK Video to learn more about the technology and options available for better vision.

Health Fairs
We visit a lot of companies participating in Health Fairs throughout Austin and surrounding areas. Everyone is always so welcoming and it is an amazing feeling to be able to provide a much needed service to the community. Vision is so important and while performing vision screenings at these Health Fairs you quickly realize that vision is something that we definitely take for granted. Remember everyone...after 30 as a preventative measure have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every 2 years and at least once a year after 40. Thanks everyone for allowing us to participate in your company and community Health Fairs! See you at the next one.

Top 3 Questions Keeping You From Having LASIK
It's usually not one thing, but several obstacles that must be overcome in order for potential LASIK patients to reach a comfort level that allows them to take the next step. The following questions are just several that go through a candidates mind: 1. Does It Cost Too Much?The majority of patients want the best possible value for the best price. Fortunately, here at Howerton Eye Clinic both go hand in hand. Our practice and physicians have a great reputation, excellent patient care and years of experience. We also offer various financing options. Your new vision can cost as little as $85 per month. What could be better? Reputable surgeon, new vision and a great price! 2. Will I Go Blind?I don't want to take a chance with my eyes. Will my vision be impaired? Complications do not normally occur during surgery and are more likely to occur as a result of infections post surgery. Serious complications are extremely rare. The physicians and staff at Howerton Eye Clinic take great pride in caring for their patients. Our LASIK patients visit with their Surgeon and Refractive Coordinator the day of their Free LASIK Evaluation. The Dr. and Refractive Coordinator then follow their patients treatment until the post op visit after the LASIK Procedure. While recovering at home the patient has access to the Dr.'s home phone for quick answers to recovery questions. Howerton Eye Clinic is always available at 512-444-0701 to answer questions regarding eye care.3. Will I Finally Get Rid Of My Glasses?In most all cases, depending on age, glasses are no longer needed. An improved lifestyle and convenience are immediately gained. Patients gain confidence in their appearance and in their ability to accomplish their goals. Most patients experience a transformation an a major enhancement in their everyday life. Let Howerton Eye Clinic help you change your life! Visit us at howertoneye.com or Call us today at 512-444-0701

Multifocal Lens for Cataract Patients
Most people over 60 experience some level of blurry vision due to cataracts, and almost everyone over 50 loses their ability to read comfortably without glasses due to presbyopia. Now the Intraocular Lens makes it possible to regain the performance of youthful eyes.Today, for people who have cataracts there is a procedure to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with an advanced, artificial TECNIS Multifocal Lens. This unique implantable lens is proven to provide excellent vision at all distances, under all lighting conditions - day and night. Even better, the new TECNIS Multifocal Lens has helped thousands of people gain independence from glasses for the first time. Contact Howerton Eye Center at 512-444-0701 to see if the new Multifocal Lens can help you!
