I came here for my yearly exam. Dr. Priya has a beautiful space and all the coolest equipment to keep you comfortable and enjoy getting your eyes checked! There’s a great selection of frames and top of the line lenses. We are so lucky she has arrived in Drip!

Locally owned. Dr. Patel does a fantastic job of making you very comfortable with the process of eye care. After visiting with her for a short time, it’s easy to feel confident in her expertise and trust that she has your best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend Eyecare Studio and am more than happy to refer Dr. Patel to anybody I know.

Dr Patel made the process so easy. I was able to get an exam without having to get dialated and was in and out within 30 minutes with them looking up all my info for me. Def a strong recommend for anyone who wants to have a quick streamlined process with the latest tech.
Sunny S.
Dr. Priya Patel took care of me in an office where my Optometrist retired. She did an excellent job and I was thrilled that she opened her own office in Dripping Springs where I live. Her new office is bright and beautiful. But more importantly she is able to get my prescription perfect. She is also an excellent communicator and has helped me understand my eyes better. I highly recommend Eyecare Studio and Dr Patel. I was with my previous optometrist for 17 years. I’m confident Dr. Patel will take care of my needs for the next 17 or as long as I need eye care.
