At The Center For Sight, our number one priority has always been the health and safety of our patients.


As a leading healthcare provider in our community, we wanted to reach out to all our patients regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), and let you know the steps we are taking to alleviate any potential concerns.



Welcome to The Center For Sight

In 1981, Dr. Richard J. Ruckman opened The Center For Sight’s first location in Lufkin, Texas with a vision – to provide his patients with high-level eye care through enhanced technology, skilled professionals and his personal commitment to excellence. Since then, The Center For Sight has grown to serve East Texas with its main office in Lufkin, and satellite office in Livingston.

The mission of The Center For Sight has been, “Our Focus is You!” We strive to make our patients feel like our family and to provide all levels of eye care, including eye examinations, contact lens evaluations and fittings, complex medical evaluations, cataract surgery and prescription glasses. Our team of doctors and staff is among the finest, and we work hard to preserve and improve the vision and health of each and every one of our patients. Our desire is to be your trusted choice in eye care. Welcome to The Center For Sight!
