Overview
Dr. Joselyn Alumkal completed her undergraduate education at the University of Texas at Austin and earned her Doctor of Optometry at the University of Houston College of Optometry. She practises at the Shavano Square office on DeZavala Road in north-west San Antonio.
She has been around the profession since her undergraduate years, when she worked for both optometrists and optical dispensaries, and that early exposure shows in how practical her approach is. She knows what goes wrong between a prescription on paper and a pair of glasses that someone actually wears all day, and she sets the prescription with that in mind.
Her practice covers comprehensive examinations for adults and children, contact lens fittings, eye health and ocular disease management. That means prescription and eye teaming measured properly, the front of the eye examined under the microscope, eye pressure checked, and the retina and optic nerve examined and imaged for the early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular change.
Outside work she reads, works puzzles and games, makes time for arts and crafts, plays with her dog, and travels to see family and friends.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Alumkal?
Call the San Antonio-Shavano Square office in San Antonio, Texas on 210-492-7483 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Alumkal by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Alumkal?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
