Clear Lake Eye Center

Decided to see Dr. Brending the first time 2 weeks ago after reading awesome reviews in Unilocal.Dr. Brending took her time thoroughly examine & clearly explain what she was doing the entire time (actually the most time I ever spent on eye examination). The staffs there were all friendly & wonderful. The glasses selection was a little bit limited (though there ARE lots of them to choose from, I’m just a bit pickier than others). If you have an insurance, here is the cool part– if lens & frame you choose are over the insurance payout, you will get 20% off the difference. So out of pocket for me was about $ 130 less than other place that I have gone to in previous. Waited for a week for my bifocal glasses to be picked up, Mike (the gentleman who help me with the pick up) couldn’t be any friendlier. He took his time adjusting the glasses so it would fit me correctly & clearly explain the warrantee on the frame & lens. 2 thumbs up from me.

I had my first appointment here last week. Dr. Brending was kind and competent. Mikel did an awesome job helping me figure out the insurance contributions. Now that I live in the area, I plan to return as a patient.

I have seen Dr. Chen in this practice for 2 years now. She is excellent in her exam and is very caring and interested in your vision needs. I do not like my eyes dilated so I opt for the equipment verses the dilating drops. This helps me so much. The optical shop area does a great job assisting you with your glasses selection and utilizing your benefits with your vision insurance. Prices are the standard fees for office visits and they are up front with you if something is not covered by insurance and let you know what to pay out of pocket. There are no surprises with what you have to pay for. There are all price ranges of glasses. You get what you pay for and of course progressive lenses and bifocal lenses cost more than regular lenses. This is a very professionally run office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Brending for years. I ALWAYS receive EXCELLENT care and service from Dr. Brending and her staff.

My family. .7 of us.. Have been trusting Dr. Brending for over 20 years now with our eyes. I find her very friendly, caring, patient and professional. Her staff is helpful and accommodating. I always recommend Dr. Brending to all of my friends. You will not feel rushed and will not wait a long time to get an appointment or be called back to the offices for your check up. The technology they have for testing eyesight is very up to date. To sum my 20 years up. .Awesome in all areas!
