Texas Regional Eye Center offers four experienced ophthalmologists who take a special interest in the treatment of cataracts. Cataracts are most commonly caused by the simple process of aging. Under normal conditions, the lens of the eye is clear. But, when a cataract is present, the lens appears cloudy and can seem as though you're looking through a fog.
James Lee, M.D. is an Ophthalmologist, a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases through the use of lenses, medicine, and surgery. Dr. Lee graduated with honors from Texas A&M Medical School, Class of 2013.

I rarely stop and take the time to write a review of a local business, but my experience at Texas Regional Eye Center was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Bill Riggs performed cataract surgery on both eyes and I see like I did in my late teens. Dr. Riggs and each member of his staff are true professionals. They were all attentive, caring and did their work with smiles. I doesn't hurt that the results are spectacular. We are very fortunate to have Texas Regional Eye Center here in the Brazos Valley!

I could not be happier with my Lasik results! The whole staff at Texas Regional was wonderful! Special shout-out to Dr. Riggs and Bonnie! They made the process so easy! Dr. Riggs is super easy going and definitely makes you feel at ease! Highly recommend and wish I would have gotten it done sooner! Painless with great results immediately!

A friend recommended me to Dr. Allison because I was having problems with double vision and extremely poor distance vision. Dr. Allison listened to me and tested my eyes twice to make sure he got things right. He significantly changed my prescription, and it is like getting glasses for the first time again. I am amazed at how well I can see now; and no more double vision!

I really thought that my eyes were just getting to the point that they could not be corrected, but now I know that it was just the prescription that was bad. Thank you so much Dr. Allison!

I had surgery on both eyes, Dr. Varvel and his staff were great to work with. I was apprehensive about ocular implants, but I now have 20/20 vision and could not be more thrilled with the outcome. The results were immediate and spectacular! I recommend giving yourself the gift of sight, you don't fully understand how you gradually lose your vision until it is restored. TREC are great.

Dr. Bill Riggs, my new hero. Saw me between patients to tend to a metal fragment from my left eye which has been there for 6 days, causing discomfort, pain, watering, and loss of sleep. Primary Care Physician did not find the fragment and recommended I see an eye doctor. Could not get an appointment for over a week away at local eye clinic. TREC offered same day or next morning.

The wizard of eyes saw me between patents. In by 9, out by 9:30. Instant relief. Thanks Doc Riggs and shame on Berkley Eye Clinic in Huntsville. Have been Dr. Perkins patent for 16 years to whom I wish a wonderful retirement.

I got lasik here and the process was great. Everyone here was so friendly and personable. Dr. Varvel was my surgeon and everything went well. My vision is already so much better. I highly recommend Texas Regional Eye Center!

My doctor retired so the staff called me to setup an appointment with Dr Lee 12 months before my scheduled appointment. When I showed up for my scheduled appointment, the front desk staff said we have been trying to contact you for the a week. Your appointment has been cancelled because Dr Lee is out the office. I asked what number they called to contact me and the number they had is correct. Also, my number is a business and I receive calls throughout the day. They asked if I would like to re-schedule. I told them no thanks. Are you serious. They lost me as a patient for good.

I've been going to Texas Regional Eye Center since I was little. The staff here are always kind and caring towards either patients. I recently had lasik done by Dr. Riggs and I'm so happy I did. Dr. Riggs and his team made the process a breeze. They were able to answer all my questions about the procedure and the after care. Seeing 20/20 after so many year is amazing!

Dr. Lee did an outstanding job performing cataract surgery on my 88 year old Mother who has dementia. Dr. Lee is very kind, patient, caring and knowledgable and so are his staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, everyone on site. My Mother can be quite challenging to deal with. Dr. Lee was very calm and patient with my Mother, had a calming effect on her. We could not be happier with my Mother's surgery and care and feel very blessed to have been referred to Dr. Lee.

Texas Regional Eye Center is a professional, well staffed, eye clinic and eye surgery center - with Texas Regional Eye Center conveniently located within the same office. When I moved from Dallas I was sure I would have to travel to another large city to find quality eye care for my glaucoma Doctor/specialty requirements and I quickly learned I was so wrong! Texas Regional Eye Center offers the same high quality care and professional services found in metropolitan cities without the traffic, hassles and paid parking lots associated with big city clinics. So happy to have this resource here in the Brazos Valley!
