From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how friendly, welcoming, and professional everyone was. The facility is beautiful, clean, and equipped with top-of-the-line technology, which immediately gave me confidence that I was in great hands. The entire staff made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I usually get a little anxious during eye exams, but they made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Iskander and San Antonio Eye Specialists to anyone looking for exceptional eye care. Their professionalism, expertise, and outstanding patient care truly set them apart! Easy 5 stars! read more

Our (prior) routine optometrist completely ignored, overlooked, and/or missed that both hubby & I had quite significant cataracts, despite both of us informing the prior doctor that we "couldn't see" even with new prescriptions. I guessed it might be cataracts. I searched for "best cataract surgeon in San Antonio", which led us to San Antonio Eye Specialists. Oh. My. Goodness. What a welcome and helpful difference in doctors, and outcomes! SA Eye Specialists are in a beautiful facility that is sparkling clean and welcoming. The office staff are friendly, and efficient. The medical staff are phenomenal, from our initial screenings & testing all the way up to and including Dr. Membreno, who now has replaced both my cataracts with the Light Adjustable Lens, while my husband went with Dr. Membreno's suggestion of a Toric lens for his situation. We are both absolutely delighted! I've been through an additional, unexpected (by me) procedure after there was clouding connected to my new lenses, before we could start the light adjustments (I think the "clouding" is called YAG or something? Apparently extremely common; I was lucky mine occurred - and was corrected - prior to the adjustments to my lenses.). All was handled quickly, with everything being explained clearly and thoroughly, from beginning to end. Dr. Membreno is phenomenal, and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat, to anyone with eye concerns. What struck me the most about him initially is his knack for being present: When he's with you, he's 10000% tuned in to YOU. It's as if he has nothing else in the world to concern him aside from you. What a reassuring and comforting experience, especially regarding something as important as your eyes and vision! We now consider San Antonio Eye Specialists our one-and-only eye doctor, as we will be coming here for any & all eye issues we have that fall within their purview. As one who has worn glasses or contacts for ~60 years, saying I'm ecstatic to be able to see is an enormous understatement. Colors are vivid and clear like I don't remember seeing, ever. I'm still undergoing adjustments on the light adjustable lens and yet already I'm able to read fairly well, and crochet, without glasses. Very excited and pleased! read more

Just had cataract surgery and recovery on my second eye. the first one was done over 2 years ago. Dr Iskander and staff are amazing, friendly, helpful. In both eyes I got the light adjustable lens. My far vision is now perfect. Surgery and recovery were painless. They only had to do one treatment to adjust my sight. It's your vision!!! Go to the best. read more

Pretty good overall but vision in one eye missed the vision clarity goal. Maybe the vision will still get better I hope.

I have been going to the San Antonio eye specialist for quite a few years. Two years ago, I had my cataracts removed using the light adjustable lens procedure, where the power can be adjusted after the lenses implanted and healed. Everything turned out great and I'm very happy.!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Iskander for many years, but today I accompanied my mother to her annual check-up. Everyone was so incredibly nice and attentive. Diana is exceptional in her attention to detail and has a great personality and care for the patients. And, of course, Dr. Iskander was amazing and attentive as always. Cannot say enough good things about this practice! read more

They care for you beyond expectations!!!! I super highly recommend the whole experience of keeping me relaxed during surgery to recovery to overall care .... Love this crew!!!! I can see clearly now.... read more

I had cataract removal in both eyes and received the LAL. Dr. Iskander was my surgeon and I received follow up treatments and lens adjustments from Dr. Williams. The doctors, staff, technicians, administrators and personnel were all knowledgeable, competent, courteous and caring. I see 20/20 now and I'm so grateful for them. I would highly recommend their services. read more

I had my Lasik surgery done here some years ago. Yes, at that time the office was very efficient and thorough. They really seemed to care about their patients. SOMETHING has changed. 3 yrs ago I had been experiencing flashes of light, and the receptionist would not schedule me until months later. I had to right a complaint for their optometrist to intercede and get me in that day. Last year 2025 I tried to get in since my eyes are experiencing foggy, cloudy vision which in fact affecting my vision. Once again, they claimed I was not able to get in to see the doctor until Feb. 2026. I agreed to wait. So, my appointment is in fact scheduled for tomorrow and today they send me a text stating I may have a 1 to 2 hour wait since the doctor has lots of patients. THIS IS UNEXECTABLE! How do you know you are running 1-2 hours late a whole day early!! So, when I call Melanie answers with zero concern and when I ask for my records so I could go find a new doctor who can in fact help me with my eye problems she had zero effort to keep me as a patient. She just said OKAY it will be $25 and it will take 10 to 15 days to get you your records. WOW!!! At this point who cares if Dr. Iskander does the surgery, it's HOW does he and his staff take care of the health of your eyes after the surgery! I am so very disappointed and will NEVER refer anyone here. read more

Dr. Iskander was recommended to me by my general physician. Dr. Iskander said that my eyes were just beginning to have cataracts, but I decided to have the surgery right away due to my doctor's high recommendation. My doctor was right. Both eyes came out fantastically. I see clearer and even can see colors better now. I think of Dr. Iskander and his wonderful staff every time I thread a needle. EVERYONE at San Antonio Eye Specialists treats patients like they're royalty. I have recommended Dr. Iskander and the staff at San Antonio Eye Specialists to many of my friends. read more

Ok, so I am writing this before my actual procedure, but thought I would.let you all know what to expect. The facility is clean and well laid out. The staff were great at today's visit. I did have a hiccup during my last visit but the team were quick to address it. For me, communication is key. The doctor was very straightforward (which I like) and he explained what I could expect from the various procedures available. He made recommendations based on my age, my vision, and what would have the longest lasting results. I am trying out the contacts for mono vision to see if I can adjust to it. This will give me an idea of what I can expect with the procedure I am considering. Fingers crossed for good results during this phase. read more

The entire process of having my moms cataract surgery went very well. No issues what so ever. Extremely professional medical staff.

Dr. Iskander displayed compassion, expertise and judgement when evaluating and examining my eyes. (He completed an incompetent general surgeon's work very well). So, I appreciate the attention Dr. Iskander gave my eyes. Trust an eye specialist to your eyes, always. read more

While I was referred to Dr Iskander, I was not requiring surgery so I accepted seeing Dr Means for my care. She and the rest of the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and for the first time in years, I feel as though issues that I have been attempting to understand related to some autoimmune issues. They provide excellent education, compassionate care and partner with exploring all available options for treatments & partnering with other specialists. I highly recommend this clinic & really appreciate them. read more

Our eyes are so precious!! You got to find the right place with the best doctor for your eyes. That is why I came to San Antonio Eye Specialists. Not only did I get the best treatment and care for my eyes, but my overall treatment as a patient was beyond 5 stars. I love that I do not need to worry anymore and that I'm able to fully trust SAES, that's why I highly recommend them! read more

Their customer service was fantastic and the results have been amazing after one week! They gave great advice and preparation before the LASIK surgery. The surgery was quick and relatively painless. Highly recommend! read more

Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. Dr. Timothy Lindquist was great from beginning to end. Bedside manners are great. I felt very comfortable choosing the corrective lens based on his advice. The surgery went extremely smooth and my vision is great. Definitely recommend! Donovan Ben is the financial advisor. Donovan responded quickly to my phone calls and answered all my questions. A discrepancy regarding my insurance with the facility fees was noted and Donovan corrected the issue immediately. His assistance was excellent and his Cost Estimate for the overall procedure was on spot. Rick M. read more

San Antonio Eye Specialists is a top notch organization who clearly care about their patients. Dr Iskander and his staff are very professional and caring. Everything is explained very well from start to finish including surgery procedures and after-care as well as billing procedures. I highly recommend. read more

Just completed my first eye surgery for cataracts. I was very anxious and I didn't need to be. The eye specialists are very professional caring. After two weeks I have 20/20 vision in that eye and now preparing for next eye. I very thankful and grateful for the great care and outcome. read more

The surgery was a cake walk. The kind doctors here walked me through the entire process. They were very informative and patient. I'd highly recommend. read more

Dr Iskander and his entire staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for before, during, and after my lasik eye surgery. I was a little nervous before my surgery and they were super thorough about educating me on the entire process and what to expect. Dr. Iskander's bedside manner is so wonderful he really put me at ease during my surgery. I highly recommend Dr Iskander and his team to anyone wanting the best eye dr in town! read more

San Antonio Eye Specialists - San Antonio Eye Specialist - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Everyone is friendly and helpful. They genuinely want their patients to feel comfortable; not only physically but emotionally about their decision. I opted for the adjustable lens replacement. I have had them adjusted twice. So thankful I opted for them! read more

Excellent service, from my initial consultation to my follow-up. I wanted lens correction surgery and went to a few different offices for consultation, by far San Antonio Eye Specialists earned my business. Dr. Iskander explained which surgery was right for me. I was given options. I can not single out anyone for praise, because everyone deserves it: Reception, Business Office, Techs, nurses, and of course the doctors. They are all professional and kind. I highly recommend San Antonio Eye Specialists. read more

Unbelievable results with the best staff possible.I had LASIK done and my eyes were corrected to 20/10. It is unexplainable how well the entire process went. Could not be happier and would do again in a heartbeat. read more

Great place for quality eyewear. Friendly and competent. The doctor was an experienced optometrist who formerly served with the military. Definitely recommended. read more

Appointment was at 10am so got here at 9:45 assuming paperwork. They have an electronic registration system that scans your license and insurance card. Not sure how I feel about it but it went smoothly. Convenient location right off of 1604. Looks like a semi upscale doctors office. Not too many frills. Coffee and water available. Very loud as I sit in the waiting room. Lots of promotional videos playing on multiple TVs. Called back at 9:55 to fill out forms in a second waiting room. Much more cramped than the first. Basic medical history form. I find it interesting that all the clipboards are from a finance company. Filled out form in a few minutes now waiting to be called back more. Waited in the second waiting area for over 25 minutes. Not a great start. Had a bunch of tests done in 3 different rooms. Went to final exam room and was told doctor will be in shortly at 11am. Doctor finally came in after more than 25 minutes of me sitting in the room alone. Doctor came in and we spent about 10 minutes talking options. His recommendation was to do nothing now which shocked me in a good way. I am getting a prescription for some night driving glasses but no surgery. The waiting was a bit much but finding an honest doctor is great. read more

60.00 in addition to a 100.00 copay because my medical insurance won't pay an add on charge for a eye exam prescription !! I could have gone to my 59.99 or the owl optical and had on OD examine me instead of a Tech and the dr came in for five minutes to review his finding.. I would have left with a prescription in hand which should be part of and eye exam NOT A CHANCE TO MAKE 60.00 more for a piece of paper!! I arrived very frustrated and after a re exam I met with management I must say the staff is professional and determined to resolve every issue I highly recommend Dr Islander's office read more

I had my lasik surgery here and it was top notch. Super easy, very professional. Would do it again.

My husband and I both got lasik done here and they did an excellent job. We did go to two different locations to get quotes and understanding of their processes and their doctors. The reason for my rating is as follows: 1. Fair pricing 2. The dr made us feel at ease and we trust him 3. The associate doctor was very friendly and nice and knowledgeable 4. Staff is consistent and friendly 5. Very efficient. You aren't waiting there for hours. They are timely which I very much appreciate. 6. They are thorough and ensure best patient care 7. Clean. They cleaned materials consistently prior to putting anything near eyes or in my hands. The only somewhat negative thing I'd say is this: I followed all protocols in preparation for my procedure. I took it very seriously. When I got to my surgery, under microscope there was still residual eye make up. I was last patient to undergo surgery and they actually had tried calling me to come earlier but I couldn't due to work. The nurse just seemed somewhat irritated and frustrated that I had make up left. I even apologized and she didn't respond. I felt she was a tad rough and rushed bc of that and wasn't as gentle as she potentially could have been and it definitely hurt which I believe contributed to the pain that night post surgery. Other than that staff, everybody else was pleasant and kind. read more

Great experience with Dr. Iskander and his team. Friendly and professional service from the front desk and surgical coordinators (shoutout to Donovan). They did a great job of setting expectations for the procedure and recovery. The actual procedure was quick, Dr. Iskander kept me entertained the whole time and explained what was going on with each step. As a medical professional myself, I was initially apprehensive about having refractive surgery done. He was recommended my family members and several colleagues- apparently he is the surgeon that the other docs and nurses go to for LASIK. I you are thinking about refractive surgery as an option, highly recommend a consultation visit (it was free) to SA Eye Specialists! read more

One of my best decisions was coming here and getting lasik in one eye for mono vision. No more readers!!

I have been contemplating lasik for a year and visited other institutions which I am still not 100% However, I went in received a consultation, set up my procedure, and it took some time, but I felt confident. However, later found they had a 1900.00 off Mother's Day special. I called 2x to see if that's applicable since I am setting up my procedure in June. I was told that the person who helped me was not available, I left a message and never heard anything back. I sent an email with an attention to and never heard back. So, since they never called I was convinced if they cannot call me back now how would it be after the procedure, so I did not confirm my appointment and I would need proof about contacting me. I never spoke to anyone about the special! read more

I honestly dont know where to start with this review. Every person I met, every email and phone call, every aspect of planning, scheduling, the consultation, the surgery, and the follow up was so incredibly warm and welcoming, professional and calming. It made my entire experience such a joy and a breeze. Nadja is a sweet, sweet soul who bent over backwards and performed pure magic to work with my crazy schedule. She even found me in the office to introduce herself to me and put a face to an email name! It was a small detail that really blew me away. Christopher was knowledgeable and easy to talk to and was eager to answer all of my annoying questions. I'm in nursing school and he helped calm my nerves by just keeping up a great conversation. I feel like the biggest jerk for not remembering the amazing women at the doors names, but their warm welcome 3 days in a row, and remembering my face was another small detail that made all the difference. Diane, oh goodness I hope that's the right name, again, great conversation, warm, and we must have talked for about a half hour before we realized we had to do paperwork. Such a joy! And last, but certainly not least, Dr Iskander. I cannot thank you enough for being so kind and professional before, during, and after our very quick time in surgery. You completely calmed my nerves and made me feel like a total rockstar for getting through a truly unique experience without having a panic attack. This has been the best decision I have ever made in my life. After wearing glasses every day for every life event for the past 15 years of my life, I am so excited for what my future eyes have in store! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot recommend this office enough. Honestly, a perfect and life-enhancing experience, from beginning to end. read more

I had a really great experience with my ICL surgery. The staff is super nice and show concern for their patience.

Only positive things to say about my experience with Dr Iskander. He has a tremendous bedside manner and it is clear why he is so highly recommended. As most Lasik patients say, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! read more

Dr. Iskander is THE best! My experience with him was excellent and all of the staff are super helpful and comforting. I think one even offered her hand because i was a little scared at first. Just a few big deep breaths and it was over. My rx was -4.5 so i was ready to get it done. They'll get you all suited up with a cap and shoe covers then you'll go to the procedure room where a family member can actually see it all happening. He'll come in when everything is prepped and get right to work. He narrated the whole procedure as it was happening. No pain at all but there is a part where pressure is applied to the eye and everything goes black for a second. That was the only semi uncomfortable part. He'll ask you to blink or look a certain direction when he's applying drops and then it's over in 5-10 minutes. Honestly it'll probably be more uncomfortable for whoever is watching it. Haha. After wards, everything is hazy but no where near how blurry it is without glasses. By the time you get home, your eyes are going to burn! It's the worst part of everything. Feels like glass is stuck in your eyes and you're tearing up everywhere. Just take your meds, put on your bed goggles, and go to sleep! The next day, it's all passed and you can see without glasses! There will be some light sensitivity and you'll have to be putting eye drops around the clock, but it is so worth every penny! Swimming, working out, just being able to get up out of bed without blindly searching for glasses that fell on the floor! I'm still in awe. My husband, brother in law and sister in law all had it done by Dr. Iskander and have had no problems. It's been about 3 years for me and still doing fine with perfect vision. It will be worth it! And you couldn't be in better hands with Dr. Iskander and his staff. read more

Very professional team and I'm thrilled with the results of my LASIK surgery! Should have done this years ago! Highly recommended. If you're thinking about it stop waiting and do it! read more

The staff here from the front office assistants to the Doctors are amazing! I came in just for check/test to see if I would qualify for a Lasik surgery, and after the first exam I knew I did not have to look any further. I felt super comfortable and never intimidated or pressured to actually do the procedure (which I qualified for). I really appreciated that they made me come a couple times before confirming I would get the surgery, which speaks volumes about the quality of the service. They really want to work on you, if you need it. I did not shop around for prices, but comparing to the prices back in my country, it was definitely cheaper and better quality. Also, they worked with me to do installment payments. read more

Wonderful experience! Dr. Iskander and his staff were great and had me fully prepared for my LASIK procedure! Highly recommend for all your eye needs! read more

San Antonio eye specialist is amazing! They did my lasik procedure on both eyes and it is so nice to be able to see again. Highly recommend! read more
