I’ve had glasses since I was two. Eye exams have typically been a long, drawn out process of, «One… or two?»
«Uh, can I see one again? Okay, now two. One… aaaand two? Are these the same one? They both look awful.»
Followed by feedback from the doctor about my perfectionism and frightening attention to detail, which typically came after my third return trip for adjustments to my prescription.
DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH DR. BARIT. We blow through the exam because he can easily translate my responses into a medical diagnosis. His prescriptions have always been SPOT ON, requiring no further adjustments. And he has such a thorough knowledge of the latest advances in eye care, that he has me trying things that might improve the quality and comfort of my vision, without fail. I don’t even notice my astigmatism anymore, I enjoy wearing my contacts, my eyes are no longer dry, and his selection of frames is amazing (I found three that actually looked good on me in less than half an hour.).
I moved this year, and visited Dr. Barit on my vacation back to Austin, because he has no equal based on my 37 years of experience.
So grateful.

I was really anxious to get my eyes checked. I had never had an eye exam so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Dr. Barit was wonderful. Really took his time and explained everything. The office is comfortable and his staff was very professional and knowledgeable. I got the cutest Kate Spade glasses that I couldn’t find at any other offices. Highly recommend them to anyone looking.

Great place! Called and got a same day appointment and the exam was quick and comprehensive. Also got my glasses here. I honestly don’t know much about pricing when it comes to glasses but the lenses, frames and exam where below what I expected to pay. Friendly service too!

Let’s be honest, eye care is «essential», but not always comfortable. Dr. Barit’s soothing & relaxing energy, as well as his obvious priority for your well being, makes the entire experience easy. One stop shop for eye exams and glasses!

Dr. Barit is an absolute best find. Discovered him years ago. I can’t say enough, high-​level knowledge, genuine interest and attention is the norm. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with other eye docs, it was most excellent to find one I can stick with.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Barit for several years. The office is tucked away on the other side of the Hill Country Galleria. Right next to Ulta/​Marshalls/​BestBuy area. The chocolate colored floors make the space warm and trendy. The ladies up front are friendly and helpful.
Dr. Barit is professional and straight forward. He gets us in and out of our appointment quick and easily. They carry a fair amount of frames, nothing too crazy to the point where you’re sick of trying on every single one. From what I remember they have Kate Spade, Gucci, Fossil, RayBan, Banana Republic, Jimmy Choo, MK, and some crazy line that is made of titanium. The display has a 5lb weight hanging off of it to show the durability. oooo and aaaaaaah. They also have sunglasses.
Frames take longer than I’d like about a 1 – 1.5 weeks. I don’t know what the average time is because I’ve been coming here for so long that’s the norm for us.
Today we discovered they include a built-​in insurance for any frames/​lens that get damaged.
So far we’re happy– so why change that? Thanks Eyecare Essentials!
