About West Texas Eye Associates

West Texas Eye Associates is a medical ophthalmology practice with the central mission of changing lives by improving and preserving sight. After completing extensive training at Baylor College of Medicine Cullen Eye Institute, Dr. Timothy Kahler founded the West Texas Eye Associates in 1998 to fulfill his vision of establishing a center of excellence in eye care.

Since we opened our doors 25 years ago, our practice has grown to include seven ophthalmologists and one optometrist with a wealth of experience and the knowledge to provide personalized care to every patient. We provide a comprehensive range of medical eye care, vision, and cosmetic services out of five convenient locations in the Greater Lubbock and Midland areas.
