Celebrating 15 years of success: 512 eye glasses

Serving you for all of your eye care needs.

Every year, we honor the achievements of our clients and their contributions to the local economy at our annual Celebrating Success event. This year we will be celebrating our 15 year anniversary from when we were initially created to improve the technology digital divide in our community to now evolved to help business owners better understand how to run a successful business. Leading to our big commemoration we will be interviewing a client each week, 15 in total . Last week we featured Julieta Hernandez and Jose Hernandez, owners of Brillante Services.  Read their story HERE.

Sara Langer is owner of 512 EYE, specializing in a wide variety of services to meet your eye health needs; including comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings and evaluations, and medical management for eye injuries and infections.

Below is a Question & Answer we recently had with Sara Langer.

Q: How has your career added value to your life? To the community around you?

A: Optometry is a great career as I spend my days helping people see better. I enjoy helping people, so this is very satisfying.  I have created new jobs in the community and also give back to local schools through sponsorships of athletic teams and other donations. I also enjoy attending local community events at nearby schools to get to know our neighbors.

Q: How long have you been working with EGBI and how have they helped you?

A: I have been working with EGBI since 2015. Opening a business can be overwhelming. EGBI helped me with accounting. Barbra Boeta was kind enough to meet with me one on one to teach me how to use Quickbooks accounting software. Everyone who works at EGBI is so helpful. It is a great support system.

Q: What would you like everyone to know about you or your business?

A: We try really hard to make sure every patient has a good experience when they come in for an eye exam. We strive to provide exceptional customer service and treat each patient as if they were family. Appointments can be made by calling us at 512-596-5544. We are located on 11200 Manchaca Rd. Bldg 4, Ste 2 Austin, TX 78748 and are ready to assist in your eye care needs.

Q: Tell us a fun fact about yourself/ secret talents.

A: I was a DJ at a local radio station in college. I also really like cats.
