Yee Tommy OD

This place is unsanitary, and shady. I called ahead to ask what the rates were for an eye exam and contact lenses. They said $ 75 for eye exam and contact lenses, and $ 65 for eye exam and glasses. They don’t need appointments, just walk in! Ok! I came in the same day, and I was given the eye exam right away, and the first round, the lady didn’t wipe the machines where I was placing my face on, at the corner by the counter, but the other lady took me in a private room to do the eye exam, and she wiped the machines before I used them. I had perfect vision and no prescription needed on contacts. Then they said «ok try on the contact lenses to see which color you like»… Ok… So they bring out a tray of contacts, and they had me put them on to see if I like the colors. I was ready to put them in the trash when I took them off, and the lady says «give it to me», and I give it to her, and she puts the contact lens back into the jar and back in the tray! Omg… Thank God I didn’t get any eye infection or any of the sort, but very shady practices. Especially when I was time to pay and she rung up $ 85 contact lens+$ 85 contact lens+$ 65 eye exam… I was dumbfounded… They said the contact lens will arrive in a week, and they’ll call me. I never got the call, and I call them about 2−3wks later and they claim I picked up my contacts already… But since I said I didn’t they’ll give me a pair… You know, this is one of those things that was like «I should’ve just left and not gotten those contacts, but I pretty much was so confused about the whole «trying on the contacts» bit, and no one was there to help snap me out of it. Then when it came to paying, it really had me dumbfounded, I couldn’t react properly. These contacts don’t even fit my eyes correctly, so I don’t know what measurements they used, but one of them scratches my eye… It’s by far the worst experience ever.

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. They are open on weekends but closed Wednesday and Thursday so make sure to plan around that. I have been getting hard night contacts here and have never run into any major problems. The staff is nice and the office is clean. You know this is a great place to go because of how busy they are on the weekends.

I have been going here for over 15 years they have a great selection. I love the owners. I live in galvaston and still go up there. They have good hours they are open on the weekends and are closed Wednesday and Thursday so it’s pretty convenient.

Now, I’ve been coming to this optometrist since I was a little girl and I am a grown woman and still coming here. They are really good and they know their eye care business.
Their new location is next to Teahouse off of Bellaire and the parking is fairly small, but the old location was located in a strip mall. Just thinking of it brings back old memories of how I used to spend hours in getting my eyes checked out and how many glasses I’ve been through since then. Such good memories.
Now, Dr. Yee is rarely seen here. His daughter runs the family business and trust me she does it very well. I’ve known her since she was a little girl and now she’s a beautiful grown lady. She loves to talk and will help you choose the best looking glasses that have you looking professional in a good way. Before I came here with my mum because I needed new glasses (because the other glasses I had misplaced and couldn’t find) we were immediately greeted and she helped us find a pair of cute glasses for me. The ones I chose for myself my mum and her helped me figure out the best ones because apparently I chose ugly ones. (Bad taste lol)
I came back here today because last night my glasses had broke when I was laying in the bed. I came here and told the girl at the desk what happened and no questions asked she took my glasses and started working on them. Dr. Yee daughter was talking to me as time flew she asked me about how school was coming and how my mum was. She is always happy to see me and as well I am too. The girl who fixed my glasses repaired them to perfection and it was under no charge.
I also get my contacts here too, but recently I’ve been just wearing my glasses instead of my contacts.
Honestly, I love their new location its much more spacious on the inside and they don’t have carpet which at the other location they did and I don’t like carpet. I will keep coming back to this optometrist
