Our Doctor

After graduation, Dr. Wilkins practiced in St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, in a commercial setting for two years. Having missed Texas, he returned to the Austin area in 2007, and has been practicing in a variety of clinical settings since. From 2008 to 2013 Dr. Wilkins practiced at the Texas State Optical on Oltorf Street and is now excited to open a new office at 2410 E Riverside Dr.

Dr. Wilkins’ commitment to ocular pathology and preserving patients’ vision has led him to broaden his glaucoma knowledge by volunteering with a local ophthalmology group. He also has volunteered with Hospital de la Familia, which sends medical teams to Guatemala to help preserve the health of those without medical care.

Dr Ruiz graduated Optometry school in 2007 and in 2008 opened his own practice in San Antonio. In 2013 he sold his business and moved to Austin to join an Ophthalmology practice. In 2019 he joined the Texas State Optical family.
