Dr. David Chau is an optometric therapeutic glaucoma specialist, having received his degree from the University of Houston College of Optometry. Born and raised in New York, he received his Bachelor’s and Masters in Biology from Adelphi University. His prior experience includes managing patients with dry eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other vitreoretinal diseases in clinics in rural Oklahoma, and a veteran affairs hospital in San Antonio, Texas. He worked with several ophthalmologists before opening Evolutionary Eye Care with Dr. Anith Pillai.
 

Dr. Chau’s passion in optometry ranges from seeing patients with ocular surface disorder (commonly known as dry eye disease), fitting patients with contact lenses, and seeing patients with low vision. His passion and primary focus involve seeing pediatric patients with binocular vision disorders ranging from amblyopes, strabismus, accommodative disorder, and learning-related visual problems. He also sees patients for neuro-optometric rehabilitation focusing on traumatic brain injury (TBI).
 

Dr. Chau takes pride in providing a high level of care by keeping abreast of the latest developments in ocular treatment and therapy by attending and giving continuing education classes. He is a proud member of the American Optometric Association (AOA), Harris County Optometric Society, and Texas Optometric Association (TOA).

You may see him and his wife visiting different local restaurants when he is not in the clinic. Dr. Chau’s hobbies include working out and following his Mets, Knicks, Ranges, Jets, and Giants. NO, Dr. Chau IS NOT a Yankees fan!

Dr. Anith Pillai is a Therapeutic Optometric Glaucoma Specialist. He was raised in Sugar Land, Texas, where he attended school through his sophomore year of high school, upon which he continued his education at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science in Denton, TX. He then moved to Austin, Texas, to complete his B.A. in Biology at the University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em Horns!).
 

His educational career sent him back to his hometown of Houston at the University of Houston College of Optometry. He received his Doctorate in Optometry and graduated with the Beta Sigma Kappa Honor Society. Dr. Pillai then moved to practice in a small town clinic in Uvalde, Texas, where he emphasized diabetic retinopathy, foreign body removals, and LASIK and cataract co-management. He then joined an extensive ophthalmology practice working with up-to-date diagnostic tools and working side by side with many of the nation’s leaders in intraocular surgery and research.
 

He then decided to fulfill his dream of opening his own practice. He found his friend and colleague Dr. David Chau had the same dream, and Evolutionary Eye Care was born! Dr. Pillai specializes in anterior segment disease, including keratoconus, corneal degenerations and dystrophies, ocular surface disease, scleral lenses and specialty contacts, and myopia management. Dr. Pillai is also certified in orthokeratology, a corneal reshaping technology that uses laser-free vision correction to help stop nearsightedness progression.
 

Dr. Pillai has earned fellowship in the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control, and the Scleral Lens Education Society. He is an active member of the American Optometric Association, Texas Optometric Association, and serves as President of the Harris County Optometric Association.
