Millions of people worldwide over the age of 40 are currently living with cataracts. As the eyes age, the lens inside becomes cloudy. The lens focuses light on the retina at the back of the eyes to produce a sharp image of what we see. When that lens gets cloudy, light cannot pass through it, making the image blurry. Lower the risk of cataracts by eating healthy, avoiding smoking, wearing sunglasses, and getting your yearly eye exams.

Our Story

In 1922, a Waco man opened an optometry practice in town so he could help everyone in the community keep their eyes healthy. His grandson, Dr. Trey Gerdes, is keeping the family mission alive nearly a century later here at Eye Fashion Optical. With our expertise and compassionate care, we’ve helped countless patients with concerns ranging from allergies to glaucoma to nearsightedness. Though technology has changed our field drastically over the years, our warm family-focused service hasn’t shifted a bit. We look forward to helping Waco stay healthy for generations to come!
