Dr. Pham is an exceptional optometrist. I've been following him for over 10 years. He used to have a location downtown but has since moved to pasadena. Very nice, clean store. Great selection of frames. He is very thorough in his exam and his pricing is very affordable especially for cash pay/no insurance. I recommend him to all my friends and family ​ read more

Dr Pham is an excellent doctor. I've been going to him for almost 10 years and he and his staff has remained consistent in professionalism and overall care. read more

Great place to get an eye exam. Walk-ins are welcome. Dr. & staff were very helpful & friendly. My BCBS covered the eye exam for free and covered up to $175 on any frame of glasses. They do have affordable eye glasses. I went with a name brand pair & purchased some Dulce & Gabbana frames. They were $300. Out pocket I paid $200 because an anti-reflective coat & high index were added to the lenses read more

We were on vacation from out of state, all of a sudden my boyfriends eye became painful with vision loss. I looked online for a eye doctor and found dr Pham. He seen us as a walk in right before closing on a Saturday! We were so grateful because we wouldn't have been able to wait until we flew home because the pain was bad. He prescribed medication and eye is doing much better! Thank you! read more

Professional, caring and knowledgeable. I've been 'seeing' (no pun) this Dr for years now. I tried other ophthalmologists and although they have a 'modern' building with a lot of bells and whistles- this one has a great professional. I'be tried others in the area, but after they gave me prescriptions that gave me migraines-I had to come back. Good quality is hard to find. read more

Omg! The best Optical Store ever!!! The Dr. Ophthalmologist is the best in the world, I'm promise! The team is very professional & friendly (Ms. Sandra) Great prices in a lot models in glasses you can choice! And plus is the service pretty fast (24 hrs) for take your new pair of glasses. I'm really Happy and thankful! Highly recommended this place. read more

Mc Eye Center & Optical - My new glasses - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

I love this dr! They get you in fast and it is so affordable since i am uninsured. Go here!

I have been coming here for a yearly check-up and exams. I've plenty of visits here since I am always having issues with my eyes. Dr. Pham does a thorough exam and explains possible reasons and solution. Scheduling is easy and usually don't wait for long. I would recommended this place anyone since the prices are reasonable, less than $50 for an eye exam. I don't live near this area but don't mind the drive, plenty of stuff to do in the area. read more

Dr. Pham & his staff are some of the most professional, courteous & caring people I have come across in the Optical world! I would recommend anyone needing a thorough eye exam from a Doctor who has been in the business for many years! One of the best in the business! FYI ... Dr. Pham is one of the few optometrists you can go to and get a same day appointment for your eye care needs! Try him, you won't regret it! read more

Worst place ever. Do not go here. If you are looking just to get eyeglasses and you happen to bring in your eye prescription from another doctor, he will in fact take that prescription and keep it as a way for you not to go anywhere else to buy eyewear. He likes to make condescending comments and thinks he is a know it all just to build his made up ego. All he wants to do is mark up the prices for the glasses and charge even more for the lenses. He will prescribe you a heavier prescription than you really need which will make your eyes hurt and give you headaches. If you have any eye symptoms he will blame it on allergies and not even try to figure out what may be wrong. Buyer beware! read more

I love this place, we have been coming here since 2000 and have brought our children throughout the years. We drive far to get here but it's worth the drive. We have NEVER had any issues with Dr. Pham or his staff ! They are professional and courteous, attentive. Dr. Pham is an excellent ophthalmologist. Prices are reasonable, walk-in visits even on weekends, wide variety of frames and sun glasses, high quality. read more

Dr. Nghiem has been my eye doctor since I was a kid. He does the BEST eye exams. His experience allows him to detect what other eye doctors can't. He noticed right away how dry my eyes are and prescribed the correct type of contacts to help reduce the dryness. Also, instead of prescribing medicine to treat my dry eyes temporarily, he goes a step further and will recommend a few healthy lifestyle tips that will help change you from the inside out and address the root of the problems. Very professional and great staff, i highly recommend him. His office is humble and isn't fancy because he's about patient care, which is the most important part! I don't know who i'll go to once he retires. love him! read more

Though its name gives the impression that it's staffed by headset wearers and dispatchers, you will be shocked by how real they keep it at MC Eye. Situated in a forgotten and somewhat desolate corner of Midtown, MC Eye has retained what appears to be its original storefront; its peeling-red-painted letters a testament to its wholesome, non-mega-eye-mart-ness. It's hard to imagine that a shop like this can still compete in these days of daily EyeMaster/LensCrafter mailers, but Dr. Pham (owner/optometrist) is extremely generous in his exam pricing policy, not to mention a kind and interesting soul. (In under 30 minutes of interaction, he executed a thorough eye exam, while educating me on the deep roots of sadness underlying the poetry characteristic of his culture.) Sans vision insurance, I was sure I'd have to fork over multiple hundreds of dollars that I don't have, but the sum total of my visit (exam + new frames) was less than 1/3rd of what I've paid at every other office I've been to. In brief, the pluses: - Very reasonable charges - Weekend hours - Walk-ins welcome - Rapid exam - Diverse frame selection (+ some very unique ones from Japan) - Longstanding history (20+ years of service) - Local business (Stick it to the Man!) - No pushy "recommendations" for unnecessary eye imaging or other procedures - Experienced optometrist - Dr. Pham's kind personality The "minuses": - Wait time Since walk-ins are welcome, the office visit may require a variable wait time, but the exam itself is swift and painless. - Parking There is a small lot behind the office with maybe 4 spaces that are somewhat crammed together. If you're there during weekday business hours and the lot is full, you'll likely have to feed a meter. MC Eye is absolutely a hidden gem of Houston; there are increasingly few services for which I can say I know where my money goes (i.e., to the person who actually performed the service), and that's where I prefer to take my business. read more

I try to support small businesses in my area. Sometimes this works for me, sometimes it doesn't. This time, it worked! I really, really love this place. The staff was so friendly. I didn't realize my vision insurance needed to fax my benefits over in advance of my 4:00 appointment. "No problem," the young lady said. I could just call my insurance and ask them to fax it right then. My insurance said they would. We waited a bit, but no fax came through. Dr. Pham said he'd go ahead and see me. The exam isn't fancy - don't look for the newest equipment here. But he is thorough, and he knows what he's doing. Plus, he's pretty funny. After the exam, my insurance fax still hadn't come through, so I paid the full exam price. It was $60! Great service, friendly people, and reasonable prices. This is the kind of business I desperately want to keep around Houston. read more

Best contact exam price in town! Gave me a exam for my contacts and educated me on the importance of healthy eating. Gave me great conversation to help me feel at ease. Awesome! Don't mind the area. Go to this place and get a proper exam, glasses and contacts without feeling ripped off. Doctor knows his stuff! Friendly staff and fast service. I am sold. Give them a call! read more

I went to an optometrist (located on elgin) earlier this month but after the eye exam he gave me prescription that I could not tolerate... (not to mention his personnel forgot to measure my focal point before making the lenses)...Anyways, after 2 weeks of not tolerating my glasses, I needed help and decided to go visit Dr. Pham (on recommendation of Smith Opticians). Dr. Phan did some extra tests on me, that the initial optometrist missed (retinal reflections) and he explained why I was unable to tolerate the initial prescription... Dr. Phan was nice, fun, chill, professional and understanding (not to mention cheaper than the other guy). He fixed my issue and sent me on my way. Yes, I would go back and will highly recommend read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pham for about 25 years now. I have strong near-sightedness, such that most eyeglass frames would be horrible. Dr. Pham always helps me to choose and I must say they are the BEST eyeglasses I have ever used. I stopped using contact lenses years ago, can't do bifocals without the line across them and would have lenses like the soda bottle bottom. A titanium frame and the lens tapers out at the edges and they are the lightest and most comfortable glasses ever. He made me a pair just for computer use from old glasses frame as well and that is awesome. Saw a review on the decor. He must be Buddhist is all I can say. It's interesting to see all the things in there. If you are tolerant of such things. read more

I am so lucky my sister recommended this place. I've also sent people here since he has good prices. Yes it's not a fancy office and don't expect royalty service. However, the doctor will be super honest with you and definitely knows what he is doing. They were nice to me, saved me money and that's all it matters! read more

I hadn't updated my glasses' prescription in about 5 years and found myself squinting a lot and getting headaches, so i thought it was time to get an updated set of lenses, and decided to try Dr. Pham because he is inexpensive. The office smells like something gross and unidentifiable Even though I made an appointment, I still waited nearly an hour to be seen. I really just wanted my prescription checked but they insisted on dilating my eyes prior to the exam. I explained to the girl giving me the drops that I was concerned that they would distort my vision, resulting in an inaccurate rx. She assured me not to worry and that the room would be dark enough that the drops would not cause a problem. The exam was incredibly rushed, and I was never able to see any of the letters clearly, although I was technically able to read the chart. Dr Pham concluded the exam and wrote a prescription, even though I explained that I was never able to see the letters clearly. He explained that the letters remained out of focus because of the my eyes being dilated. Great. When I had my prescription checked against my now 5 year old prescription of my glasses, he had actually made my prescription weaker. I'm glad I didn't get new lenses without checking first, because now I'd be walking around seeing even less clearly than before and getting even more headaches than I already am. On top of that, in Dr. Pham's poor attempt at making small talk, he asked me if I had eaten at the new Twin Peaks restaurant near my office.... Now I know twin peaks isn't a strip club or anything, but I thought it was a little creepy that of all the restaurants he would ask me about, it would be one where hot chicks serve burgers wearing next to nothing. Of course he's asking me this while right in front of my face in a dark room... Creepy. Anyways, It was a bad idea to try and save money on something as important as my vision. Lesson learned. read more

Do not go to this place!!! They have the worst customer service ever!! They are disorganized and have old equipment. I called to refill my prescription and when I got there they had me waiting for over an hour because they LOST MY PRESCRIPTION. After wasting my time waiting, they finally found it in the TRASH CAN!! They did not even apologize for the horrible service and both the Dr. and the Assistant tried making up a prescription to refill my contacts!!! Learn for my mistake, and DONT go there!!! read more

Horrible place!!! I have taken my daughter here a couple of times and everytime have been given wrong insurance information by that rude ass lady that works there!! They pick and choose who they want to over charge!! I will never go back here again!!! read more

Came here after the galleria was trying to get over on me for their crazy expensive glasses ($400 for vogue -.-) found this place and came in about 30 mins before closing but they still made my glasses and were quick, fitted to perfection by the AWESOME doctor & all these ppl saying negative things about him are just mean. He was very polite & kind. So was the lady in the front. Very reasonably priced and QUICK service. Going back here with any additional eye problems. read more

Do not go here! I got an eye exam - it is incorrect. I have now spent $250 on exam and lenses for the wrong prescription. The doctor never asked me to compare which lens was better - he arrogantly stood back and told me this was my prescription without ever asking if I could see more clearly or not. This type exam without input from patient requires the most advanced technology - which they don't have. His arrogance was hollow - and wrong! read more

This place never opens up on time and closes up early. Be prepared to wait an hour after their "opening time" for them to actually open. Terribly inconvenient. read more

Amazing eye doctor! Doctor cares, I felt comfortable. The doctor has reasonable prices, funny, very educating. He is well giving and understanding. I would recommend this place! read more

I just wanted to buy a new pair of glasses although I do not wear then very often so I was looking for a reasonable price for eye exam and somewhere close to my office that i can go at lunch time . This place was the best fit. The reception girl was kind and quick and she was training another person also. The doctor was a gem, he was caring and was fully paying attention on what i wad asking, the exam was straight forward and quick. At the end of tbe exam we had a nice coversation and he shared few interesting interesting stories. I called to the Megi today to get my detailed receipt for my FSA card and she kindly helped me with that. I will go back to them if I need an eye exam.

Great service, great prices and the Dr was very nice. I had an eye infection in both eyes from sleeping in my contacts and he really opened my eyes about how important it is to not sleep in them... (Which I already knew..but I'm stubborn)I will definitely go back to him. Highly recommended! read more

Very good price, very good service. Not super fast, but the Dr was very thorough. He advised me about a condition I was developing that my previous optometrist had not (and SHOULD have!). And it wasn't so he could give me some expensive treatment. The solution was to wear contacts less and use OTC eye drops - a simple solution for a very serious problem. Very pleased. Will be taking my children back for their exams. read more

I wish there is a 0 star or negative review that I ca out. this place is indeed a horrible place to go. The doctor is a Vietnamese old creepy guy and I'm not sure if he has a doctor's degree or not. I scheduled for an eye exam and in the beginning, he wanted to put eye drops in my eyes. I refused because I don't I was told don't put anything to my eyes until you know what it is by a real doctor. Then the Vietnamese "Doctor" starts to threaten me he can refuse his services. I was like, what the hell is that, am I begging your services? But I said nothing and ask him politely to continue. Then he started to ask me general questions about my disease history, but I don't understand some of the medical words so I ask him to explain. He became impatient instantly and tell me just to answer yes or no, then I told him I can't answer questions that I don't understand. Then he ask me to go somewhere else and I left with no hesitation. How could this S**t pass a MD? Warning!! Nobody goes here!!! read more

complete waste of time... dr pham told me my eyes are to dry to do an eye test and wanted to prescribe me some eye drops... i went for a second opinion (to sears .2 miles away)... the doctor at sears told me that my eyes were dry but dr pham had misled me for whatever reason... the sears optometrist even gave me a student discount even though i am not a student so i paid less than the 40 bucks i was quoted at MC... read more

First time here, and loved the service and the time everyone took to attend my mom, boyfriend, and I! The doctor took his time with every single one of us, his staff was amazing! Went on a Wednesday and received my contacts by Saturday! For someone with no insurance, Prices are beyond reasonable compared to other places! read more

Friendly, competent, and affordable. Dr Pham is great, too!

I do not recommend this place - very unprofessional and the worst customer service ever! I had an appointment for 10:00 am, took off from work to be there at 9:50 am. When I walked in, they told me the Doctor had left and would not be back until after noon. No apologies, no offer to reschedule - a complete waste of my time. The office stinks and it is in a horrible neighborhood with no secure parking. Better off to go somewhere else. read more

No fancy equipment can replace a first-rate doctor. Dr. Pham is a focused, outstanding doctor. He sent my wife's bifocal back to the factory 4 TIMES because it does not meet HIS standard. "It's a good learning experience for them" he said with a cool smile. He has a way to fit glass for my big head that my glass would never slip down my noise.... I cannot say enough good thing about his skill. But I can see people gets offended at this office if looking for a space-age shop front. read more

I went here Feb. of this year to get my eye exam I was pleased with the service and the stuff until today. Yesterday I went to get my eyes exam by another Dr because when I wore my glasses it was still a lil hard to see. I was informed that my prescription for my glasses were incorrect. My right eye prescription was for my left eye and vise versa. So I called MC Eye Center and they told me to bring my glasses up there so I did. I get up there and tell them what happen. They told me I need to take my glasses where I got them from because they put them in wrong that's not the prescription they gave me. Will I have proof that Mc Eye Center messed up on there end and they don't want to admit to it. read more

Have been going there for five years. The lady that works in the front is super rude. She has no respect and treats customers awful. She has been working there for years and is family with the Dr. She has no education and does not know how to treat customers. When they had somebody else working with her, she started yelling at the other girl in front of other people. Try to call before and ask questions, she will be extremely rude to you and by that I mean she wont even have common courtesy to say bye bye. Does job bad as well, she has given me the wrong prescription and does not apologizes. She thinks she is the owner or the Doctor. Talks in Vietnamese about people, so people wont understand. She does not have the patience to show you contacts or glasses to try on. She has also put the wrong amount of drops in my eyes. I am happy with the the doctor but she does not help. Everytime I go there, her service scares people away. I will not go there anymore because of HER. Rude, bad mannered and just awful customer service. They have raised their prices on everything as well. read more
