Seeking Good Eye Doctor for Six Year Old in Flower Mound Area

Just had our six year well visit and it was confirmed--my daughter should see an eye doctor. Would like to find a doctor who's great with kids and who is nearby, if possible, but willing to drive for a good one. Would also love recommendations on where to buy glasses. I've heard some places have good plans that allow you to change out the lenses regularly as needed for a reduced fee. Any recommendations?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you to all of you who were kind enough to take a few moments to respond to my request for an eye doctor for my young daughter. Mom's are so great! I am forever amazed how women will take the time to help a perfect stranger--God just gave us such nurturing souls. Your responses were very helpful. Your recommendations carry lots of weight because I know you too want only the best for your kids. The Bowens are definitely a favorite in the area. Thanks again to all of you!!

Another vote for Bowen!! Took my 5 year old there for the first time this week and Dr Lisa was so great with her. Office staff seems super nice too. I made an appointment for myself and will be taking my son in a couple of months.

This is where my husband and my daughter go. They are a husband and wife team and they are super nice. My daughter is usually afraid of new doctors but they made her feel real comfortable.

We usually go through them to buy the glasses too.

My son and I both go to Ousley Eye Associates in Highland Village. Dr. Bruce and Dr. Camille Ousley are a husband and wife team, and their office staff is fabulous too. They were great with my son. As far as buying glasses, we took his prescription to Target.

Yep, Bowen Eye Care... both of them (husband/wife team) are great, but I'd try for the wife, Lisa, for younger kids she just seems to have a better rapport with them.
