Veterinary Eye Center is OPEN for emergency eye cases and urgent recheck eye exams for established patients.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reduced business hours and we are open for phone calls 4 days per week effective 3/30/2020.

We are a locally owned and operated business in Austin, Texas that was founded in 2006.  Dr. Audrey Yu-Speight is a board-certified Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists and she has over 19 years of experience providing specialized animal eye care for all species except humans.

Due to the COVID-19 panepidemic, we are initiating Telemedicine and car-side service at the hospital (see COVID-19 page).  Only urgent and emergency patients should be seen at this time and non-urgent patients should be seen at a later time.

We work closely with our clients, their pets and their referring veterinarians to manage their ocular problems.  We believe that communication and education are essential to our goals.  Our goals are to:

1)  Preserve vision
2)  Provide comfort
3)  Improve quality of life

In 2016, Dr. Audrey Yu-Speight was awarded the Texas Academy of Veterinary Practice (TAVP) "Clinical Referral and Consultation Award".  TAVP is the continuing education-focused sister organization of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA), and the Clinical Referral and Consultation Award is given each year to a respected member of the veterinary referral community.  She is deeply honored to be the first veterinary ophthalmologist to win the award in over 30 years since 1984:  Press Release

Our group offers full-time services, and we are open Monday through Friday for phone calls, appointment scheduling and medication refills.  Our mission is to provide the highest quality of veterinary eye care with state-of-the-art technology and services for a variety of animal species.  We value teamwork and trust with our clients, and we always work diligently to provide exceptional and appropriate care for all of our patients.

Every year, Veterinary Eye Center donates thousands of dollars worth of free eye exams for working service animals as a part of the ACVO National Service Animal Eye Exam Event in the month of May.  KXAN covered our community outreach work for the Austin Police Mounted Patrol on the 10pm news on June 8, 2015 and on their website.
