I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bell at Eye TX Vision Center for over 10 years. As someone who works in... healthcare, I especially appreciate how carefully he explained when my cataracts were beginning to affect my driving vision and helped arrange surgery with an ophthalmology group he trusted. After surgery I developed persistent double vision while driving. During a follow-up visit, Dr. Elder evaluated my eyes and tried prism correction, and almost immediately my eyes were able to work together again. After nearly 90 days of double vision it felt like a miracle. I’m very grateful to Dr. Bell, Dr. Elder, and their team for the excellent care. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with cataracts or double vision. Michael Tyler
