About Dr. Jonathan Tsao
Hey Zocdoc family! We are a brand new practice joining the Houston community. Our goal is to provide you with a world-class eye care experience.
My name is Dr. Tsao (pronounced sao) and I was born and raised in Sugar Land, TX. I’ve been visiting the optometrist since the age of five. Over the years as a patient, I was able to witness the evolution of optometry. I was fascinated by the therapeutic optometrist’s ability to treat and manage ocular diseases and decided to pursue my career in optometry.
Upon graduation from the University of Texas at Austin, I came home in pursuit of my doctorate at the University of Houston College of Optometry. I completed my clinical rotations at the Vision Source Ambulatory Surgical Center, Glaucoma Ocular Diagnostic and Medical Eye Clinic, and Binocular Vision Training Clinic.
My internships specialized in Ocular Disease and Refractive/Ocular Surgery. I interned at the Community Eye Clinic in Fort Worth, TX, where I managed and treated ocular diseases including dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. My other internship was at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK. The program at NSU provided advanced training in ocular disease and surgery, where I performed surgical procedures including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, Laser Peripheral Iridotomy and YAG Laser Capsulotomy. At NSU, I also worked at the W.W Hastings Hospital where I treated ocular emergencies.
I am very fortunate to have gained invaluable experiences working at various practices. Eye Theory is a culmination of the knowledge and skills developed over the years. I’d be honored to be your primary eye care provider. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. I can't wait to meet you.
