Real Patient Stories

“From the moment I walked into Crystal Vision Center I knew I was in good hands.”

This was the best experience I have ever had at an eye doctor's office!

The entire staff was amazing, friendly, and professional from start to finish. I have already recommended this establishment and Dr. Mays to multiple friends and family members.

● JR

I absolutely love this office.

I kid you not, my appointment this morning was the highlight of my day. All the staff are so kind, patient, and personable. For something so difficult to decide, like buying glasses, and intense eye exams, they make it so enjoyable and comfortable. 

●  VI

I was very happy this time with my grandsons visit.

They were wonderful with him. He is 9 years old very good with kids. Explained everything in detail about his exam everyone was super friendly and his glasses were ordered!

Are Cataracts Changing The Way You See The World?

When cloudy vision makes driving at night, reading, or recognizing faces difficult, you may need a cataract surgeon in College Station.

At Crystal Vision Center, Dr. Justin Mays and Dr. Megan White use advanced diagnostic technology to assess your eyes and recommend the next steps for your vision care.

You may have cataracts if you’re experiencing:

Colors that appear faded or yellowed
Frequent changes to your glasses prescription
Double vision in one eye
Trouble reading in dim lighting
Halos around lights

How Cataracts Develop And Why Vision Gets Worse Over Time

Cataracts develop when the natural lens inside your eye gradually becomes cloudy, preventing light from passing through as clearly as it should.

As the clouding increases, everyday activities like reading and driving can become more difficult, and updating your glasses prescription may no longer improve your vision.

The good news? Cataract surgery can replace the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens, restoring the clarity and quality of vision you’ve been missing.

Some vision changes may also be related to other eye health or focusing concerns, which is why we may recommend additional care such as dry eye treatment, glaucoma treatment, diabetic retinopathy, or myopia management, depending on your exam findings.

Expert Care. Genuine Connection.

Many of our patients have been coming to Crystal Vision Center for generations because they know their concerns will be heard.

During Your Initial Consultation

We evaluate your eyes using advanced diagnostic technology to determine how cataracts are affecting your vision and whether cataract surgery may be the right next step

Dr. Mays and Dr. White will review your results, discuss your treatment options, and coordinate your care with the cataract surgeon who best fits your needs.

Day of Surgery

Your cataract surgery will be performed by one of our trusted surgical partners. During the procedure, the surgeon removes your clouded natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens to improve your vision.

The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and most patients return home the same day.

Rest & Recovery

After surgery, Dr. Mays and Dr. White will provide your post-operative care, monitor your healing, and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Many patients notice improvements in their vision within a few days, although their eyes will continue healing over the following weeks. Most people can return to many normal activities within a day or two, and full recovery typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

No, cataracts won’t disappear on their own and may continue to worsen over time. While changes in your glasses prescription may help temporarily, surgery is the only treatment that removes a cataract.
Cataract surgery is generally not painful, as your eye will be numbed before the procedure begins. Most patients report feeling little to no discomfort during treatment.

This depends on the type of lens used during your procedure and your vision goals. Some patients still wear glasses for certain activities, while others depend much less on corrective eyewear.
