“This was my first time to visit this doctor and he specializes in neurological optometry. He was successfully able to diagnose my problem with balance and vertigo as relating to my vision issues. He performed a battery of tests which allowed him to diagnose and offer treatment protocols. I was very pleased with the thoroughness and the attention to detail. I am confident that I will continue to make progress with Dr. Chau. ”

Over the last 4 years, I’ve taken 3 of my kids to Dr. Chau and he has taken great care of them and helped with their individual situations. He is very knowledgeable and cares for each of
his patients. Overall, we’ve had a great experience with him and his staff. One of my kiddos had wonderful results after vision therapy. He was struggling to read and stay focused in class but now is doing amazing in school. We are very thankful to have found Dr. Chau. I highly recommend him for any reading issues, myopia, astigmatism, etc.

Changed our lives—my daughter has had chronic issues: physical, vision, learning. We've been to endless doctors and medical exams with no answers. Dr. Chau, through his vision therapy evaluation, finally gave us answers and hope for the future. We are extremely grateful and recommend him highly.

Dr. Chau has the most exemplary bedside manner, and is extraordinarily educated in his
area of expertise and has improved my eye issues 100 fold. I recommend him to anyone
that is needing a specialist in the department of vision health.

Are you, like me, sick of feeling like an animal at those quick in-and-out optometry offices where a monotonous doctor rushes through your appointment? I have finally found an optometrist I get something more than just a quick script out of! I was very impressed with Dr. Chau. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and took a great deal of time with me during my daughter's appointment to talk to me about, not only my daughter's eyes, but my eyes. He is patient, an excellent educator, and is goofy with kids in a way that makes them feel comfortable.

Dr. Chau is definitely the best optometrist I’ve seen. He is very knowledgeable and efficient. Their front office is also friendly and helpful.

I can honestly say that I am so happy I found this place! The amount of care the optometrists put toward their patients is something very hard to find nowadays. Immediately when I walked in, the optometric technician
was explaining what was going to happen during my appointment, and actually took the time to explain everything she was doing. When Dr. Chau came to examine me, he was so kind and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable, and something really fascinating to me was how he was showing me how the inside of my eye looked through an iPad. This team of healthcare professionals are doing an amazing job, and I will recommend everyone to Evolutionary Eye Care!

I went in for an exam and Dr. Chau was awesome! He went above and beyond, made me feel comfortable and he was super patient. The front desk was great too, when I walked in they had coffee prepared for me. Overall great experience 12/10, I recommend Evolutionary Eye Care to everyone!

Evolutionary Eye Care definitely sticks to their name. My family was welcomed with open arms, love, and care. Dr. Chau was so amazing with my sons—they didn't want to go home. The crew's hospitality was very professional and caring as well. Thank you so much for the comfort and love. See you again!

Had a wonderful experience! The staff were extremely friendly! Dr. Chau was amazing! It was definitely worth checking out. My daughter loved her first visit with you guys!

Dr. Chau and the staff worked so well with my 4-year-old daughter. Dr. Chau took his time
with us and was thorough in his examination to help us understand the eye trouble my
daughter was experiencing and that another doctor had brushed off. Very thankful for
everyone’s decorum and helpfulness. Definitely would suggest this office!
Less than 1 year agoHN
All the staff is awesome they always make my child feel comfortable and welcomed. Dr. Chau is the best—he makes the visit enjoyable with his sense of humor, he’s very detailed with the test and with explaining everything. My son is doing a lot better thanks to him!

Dr. Chau is great with kids! He knows how to interact with them and makes them very
comfortable when examining them. Love it here!

Dr. Chau is amazing. My daughter is extremely shy around new people, but Dr. Chau is able to get her to engage in a meaningful way by making the experience fun. I appreciate that he
is not controlled by big pharma and proposes solutions that are safe and effective long term. I highly recommend this practice.

They have an awesome crew running this place. Professional and very nice! Dr. Chau and Dr. Pillai definitely know their stuff. I went in for bad eye irritation (I could not open my eye it hurt so bad) and Dr. Chau blessed me with this amniotic membrane drop and it was like night and day difference. Worked like a charm! Thank y'all Evolutionary Eye Care for being awesome!

Our pediatrician recommended the infantsee.org program and Evolutionary Eye Care in Sugar Land was the closest to us. We are SO GLAD we came here because Dr. Chau is wonderful, and so is the staff! They were patient with all our questions, accommodating to our needs, and super friendly. Great hospitality and great first visit! Thanks!

I just loved my experience with you all yesterday! My daughter and I had an appointment and the whole staff were very kind and amazing! Dr. Chau is very detailed and explains everything you need to know during your visit. He does not hold back and even adds a sense of humor with it! Lol. Thank you all for your help and I will/would definitely recommend you to give them a call and set your appointment now!

When I found out my daughter needed help with her eyes at 6 months old, I was very scared and didn’t know where to go. I’ve been taking my now 3 year old to see Dr. Chau. He has been extremely helpful and patient with her from such a young age. Her eyesight has had such an improvement throughout the years with his exercises and advice. Dr. Chau and his staff are beyond amazing, helpful, and very informative with young children and us as parents.

I have been here two years in a row and both years I have received great service from the front staff and Dr. Chau! They really worked with my insurance to make sure that I got the contacts that I needed, and they kept up with me to make sure I was taking care of my vision. My fiancée and her brother have both been here as well and they say the same thing! Highly recommended!
Less than 1 year agoCP
Fantastic experience from before the appointment even began through the end! The office is clean, and the staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Chau was able to diagnose the issues that we came to see him for, and he was able to explain them thoroughly and in an easy-to- understand manner. He's got a great bedside manner and he's very knowledgeable! Absolutely recommend!

Very happy I chose this location for a new optometrist! I was also researching Lasik eye surgery and was given a great recommendation. I can't explain how happy I am to be glasses-free and with 20/15 vision. The office staff is so kind and pleasant and Dr. Chau is so great as well. Recommend!

10/10 Highly recommend Evolutionary Eye Care. Great customer service! As soon as you
walk in you are welcomed and offered a drink. Office looks nice and clean. Both doctors and
their assistants are AWESOME! Dr. Chau sees all 3 of my girls and they love his vibe and feel so comfortable with him. He interacts very well with kids. Doctors and their team make kids' visits so smooth my girls love coming to their appointments!

Where do I begin? This is my go-to for my eyes. Dr. Chau is very patient and knowledgeable about how to treat your eyes. He is great with kids. The whole staff is so willing to help you and make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend to all ages and ethnicities.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Chau. He has been great and his level of knowledge always blows me away. This is not your average eye clinic by ANY means. Dr. Chau specializes in vision therapy which provides many deeper layers of understanding on how the eye functions as well as how both eyes function together. He is truly one of the best at what he does and the office staff is fantastic as well. The office does an amazing job of following up with reminders and they're genuinely caring with all the patients.

Dr. Chau is the best! He always takes the time to thoroughly review my complaints, explain
my results, and offer preventative strategies to keep my eyes healthy. The staff is kind and I never have to wait to be seen, which I’m incredibly grateful for!
Less than 1 year agoAM
I cannot say enough about Dr. Chau. He is the best eye care professional anyone could find. We have been coming to the clinic over 5 years and are grateful. Today, again, surpassing my expectations, even better with more options as they are now a dry eye clinic, so hurray Dr. Chau and staff.
Less than 1 year agoCM
After my son had a not-so-good experience at another eye doctor, I found Evolutionary Eye Care. I brought him in today and was very pleased. The office is very clean, with up-to-date equipment, the staff was more than patient with my son and Dr. Chau was very thorough and explained my son's symptoms so that we understood what was going on. Thank you Evolutionary Eye Care for an amazing experience today.
