It is the store for people who want to get nice looking glasses, There are plenty good looking bra... nd frames at a fair price at this store. Many styes of designs are at wide bright show rooms and plus the staffs are nice. My wife and I just picked up two pairs today which were ordered two weeks ago: Gucci and Versace. When I want to recogniz this store, this tean, I want particularily to recognize Mr. Hung Ngyuen who did so nice in this team. May I tell you a short story why I said that? On Saturday Dec 17, My wife and I were both shopping our glasses at its store. He helped us to choose and test a lof of of frames. It really took long time on and off. He was so patiet and was very knowledgble to tell us the difference of styles, qualities, materials of varies brands. My wife are always very picky. However, his service made her very satisied and selected one. It was done at 2:40 pm. Regretfully, I had another appointment in different eye store at that time. I told Hung that I had to leave and maybe I would come back if I did not get a good one there and maybe not if I get one there. We know the store will be closed at 3 pm on Saturday. Then if I leave there is no way I could come back before the store is closed. I estimated it might be aound 5 pm if I indeed come back. Surprisingly, Hung told us that he would wait in the store until we come back. We did not think he was serious. When we were on the way back we are kind of wondered if he 'd be waiting for us. Yes, he was there when we come at 4:15 pm. He was still waiting for us after the office closed. We asked why you did not leave for Christmas shopping and instead wait for us. He said that he would rather sacrifice his own time if he can add more customers for the company. That is his work ethic which impressed us. I belive it is Memorial Eye Center's ethic too. A good store must have good service person, vice versa. I bought another one for myself immeidately. In addition, Hung speaks Vietnamese as well as English. It was helpful for my wife to understand and trust him. The Store location is close to the Asian Town in Beltway 8 and Bellaire. My wife want to bring more her Vietnamese Speaking friends to the store. We also encorage you visit the store and look for Hung. Happy New Year. Jensen and Judy

First time having an eye exam at this location. Professional staff and minimal wait time (at least w... hile I was there.) Everyone I encountered during my exam — and then two weeks later when I picked up my glasses — was nice and attentive. They were also good about reminding me what my insurance covered when I was shopping for frames.

Respectable, Professional, Friendly, Multicultural, Knowledgeable, Informed me of Discounts/Rebates/... Promotions, COVID19 awareness/precautions enforced, Clean, Safe Area. They now have my business for life. Also, let me be honest here. My job gave me more discounts to go thru Target; So i went. I had to wait (not long) but their jn store selection sucked. They didn't have my brand of frames i wanted 😡. And due to the selection there, she told me i could go online and check out other selections..( it sucked too) But you would think i would say screw it because my job was paying for the frames, right? WRONG! I WANT WHAT I WANT. Hence why i work hard everyday! So if money is your biggest problem, I am informing you ahead of time. M.E.C has $69 frames; the prescription with additional stuff may be a little pricier than Target, but i value quality and professionalism over anything else.. *PS. The young lady went to their sister store to hunt the glasses i wanted because they did not have that one in stock! Talk about customer satisfaction; it doesnt get better than that

I love Memorial Eye Care. They ensured I got my contact lens rebate. I was accommodated by an ear... lier appointment. Dr Nguyen was thorough with my exam and ensured I was ok with her exam. She met me at the front waiting area and her staff had figured out how much based on insurance I could get even with a rebate. My hubby was treated great too. We felt no pressures. Thank you Memorial Eye staff and doctors!

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.
