I want to start by saying that I love the location. Being right in the heart of Rice Village makes i... t incredibly convenient and easy to get to. My wife's appointment was with Dr. Yasmine, and she was fantastic. She was extremely professional and incredibly thorough in assessing her prescription, taking the time to answer all our questions and ensure everything was perfect. We never felt rushed. After the exam, her staff was equally impressive. They were very knowledgeable and patiently walked us through all the associated costs, clearly explaining our insurance benefits and our various options for frames and lenses. They were also a great help in selecting frames that suited her. Furthermore, they offered a complimentary follow-up visit within 30 days to adjust the prescription if anything felt off, which we fully took advantage of. It gave us great peace of mind. The new lenses for the adjusted prescription were completely covered under the original cost. There were no hidden fees. During the exam, they also suggested retina imaging (back of the eye scanning) as a proactive health measure, explaining its benefits clearly without being pushy. We will definitely consider that for future visits. Overall, from the convenient location to the expert care and outstanding staff, I highly recommend Memorial Eye Center.

My friend recommended Dr Chacko because I was considering progressives. I tried progressives before ... 2 yrs ago and had to return them even after adjustments because I was dizzy and couldn't get used to it, and I still couldn't read. Dr Chacko was great and understood about what kinds of tasks I do at what distance. The other gentleman Gary was fantastic! He had progressives himself so he knew how to fit them. He had assisted me with a good size frame for the correction area to go wider and to transition at a certain area for the computer vs reading--- I've literally had almost no difficulty getting used to them. He gave me advice about getting accustomed. Therefore my nerves were reduced. I've had no dizziness or headaches! Just normal learning curve but I'm at work right now and can already read. If you are nervous about progressives request Dr Chacko and Mr Gary.
