Meet the Team

Dr. Hutson opened Austin Vision Center in 1987.  He has built a reputation for not only being a talented and professional optometrist, but for also being a friend to his patients, whom he considers his second family.

In 2003, Dr. Hutson opened a second location in the Lake Travis area to accommodate his expanding patient base. Dr. Hutson is an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin and he received his doctorate  from the University of Houston College of Optometry.  His two children, along with their spouses, are alumni of The University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Tran received his doctorate from the University of Houston College of Optometry and completed clinical rotations that specialized in treating and managing ocular diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.  He is also skilled in treating surface diseases such as corneal infections, styes and dry eye syndrome.  Dr. Tran believes in listening carefully to his patient's specific needs.  He spends extra time educating patient's as to how their vision works.

In his spare time Dr. Tran loves going to live shows and music festivals, learning new hobbies such as woodworking and exploring the food and outdoor scene Austin has to offer.

In 2003 when Austin Vision Center expanded to two locations, Mrs. Hutson resigned from teaching sixth grade English and reading at Bailey Middle School in order to take on the administrative and financial responsibilities at Austin Vision Center.

She and Dr. Hutson met at the University of Texas . They have two children and four grandchildren.
