At the helm of VisionOne Eyecare is Dr. Vanessa Thai, an Australian-qualified optometrist who has practiced in Australia and Hong Kong. We like that Dr. Vanessa brings a wealth of expertise, from thorough eye exams to specialized pediatric care and even diabetic eye care.

On that note, we found Dr. Vanessa’s knack for putting kids at ease is nothing short of impressive. Parents we spoke with raved about her ability to calm even the most anxious little ones with friendly chats and explain everything in kid-friendly terms.

From what we’ve seen, it also helps that she respects her patients’ time and often wraps up appointments right on schedule. Many mentioned how much they appreciate this aspect, especially those with busy schedules or those squeezing in a quick visit during work breaks.

But, as a heads up, VisionOne Eyecare operates by appointment only, so if you’re thinking of popping in for a spontaneous eye check, it’s best to schedule ahead. This way, you won’t be left waiting and can ensure you get the attention you need.

Other than that, we commend Dr. Vanessa’s thoroughness and patience. Whether you’re an adult or bringing in your little one, she takes the time to explain everything and address all your questions and concerns—a level of care that stands out.

Let’s dive into Hong Kong Optometric Services Limited, run by Tony Chung. Aside from the usual eye care services, he’s certified in orthokeratology and fitting special contact lenses for folks with corneal issues like keratoconus.

Another cool thing we noticed is their service for driving license and vessel operator eye exams, which meet the Marine Department’s requirements for Pleasure Vessel Operator and Local Vessel (Coxswain) eyesight tests. It’s a nice touch to their list of services.

Another thing worth noting is the fantastic feedback from patients about Tony’s comprehensive eye exams. Aside from his excellent bedside manners, we appreciate his skill in accurately diagnosing issues and finding effective solutions for his patients.

For instance, a patient mentioned how Tony spotted subtle UV ray damage, even though they were only there for prescription glasses due to astigmatism. For us, catching early signs like this can help prevent further issues, no matter what service you come in for.

However, we did observe that their prices are slightly higher than other clinics. A comprehensive eye exam will cost you $600, which is around $50 to $100 more than what some other clinics charge.

Nonetheless, we believe that Hong Kong Optometric Services Limited is a solid choice for a thorough and accurate comprehensive eye exam. And they’ve got a great selection of frames to suit different preferences, too.

Let’s move onto Dr. Andy from iSight Optometric Eye Care Center. With ten years of clinical experience in the USA and Hong Kong, he specializes in myopia control for children using Orthokeratology and soft contact lenses.

On top of that, we like that Andy is also a registered Part I Optometrist, giving him the qualifications to use diagnostic drugs and conduct dilated pupil eye exams. 

Another big plus for us is that their clinic is equipped with top-notch optometric equipment, digital photography systems, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). They’re all about delivering the highest quality eye examinations.

That said, it’s also reassuring to hear that Andy is competent and thorough in his approach. Patients appreciate how he considers their symptoms, medical history, and individual circumstances to offer the most effective solutions and ensure they understand their situation.

As for pricing, it’s worth noting that some may find Andy’s services a bit on the higher end. The lowest rate is for a driver’s license vision test for $400, and a comprehensive eye examination will set you back about $650.

Still, we can’t overlook their consistent quality and impressive track record. Plus, it’s a great perk that Andy is not only calm and friendly with kids but also more than willing to answer any questions, particularly for the grown-ups.

At Tai Kwong Eyecare, led by Paco Chan, they offer comprehensive eye exams for all ages, starting from six months old. Paco also offers specialty services like Ortho-k lens fitting, binocular visual therapy, and thorough dry eye assessment and treatment.

What we like the most about Tai Kwong Eyecare is its affordable pricing. A comprehensive eye exam here is just $300, which is roughly 50% cheaper than what you might find at other clinics—a budget-friendly option.

Furthermore, it’s reassuring to know that despite their low rates, Tai Kwong Eyecare doesn’t skimp on quality. Also, patients often praise his expertise and thoroughness during their eye exams, highlighting his skillful assessments and analysis.

We also admire his dedication to accommodating every patient. From what we’ve heard, his friendly demeanour helps them feel at ease, especially those dealing with more serious conditions or undergoing a stroke risk assessment.

However, we came across a few comments from patients who shared that Tai Kwong has a limited selection of frames available.

All in all, we think Tai Kwong Eyecare is a solid choice for folks on a budget who still want top-notch and precise eye care services. It’s all about quality without breaking the bank.

Next on our list is Dr. Marco Kong from iCare Optometric Centre. We’re impressed by their range of eye care services, from primary eye care exams to assessments like child vision checks, myopia management, and even consultations for digital eye strain and sports vision.

From what we’ve found, Dr. Marco has a solid reputation for handling various cases, whether it’s with seniors or kids. 

We also noticed that he’s got quite a following, with many regular patients coming back for check-ups and other eye issues over the years—a proof of his reliability and trustworthiness in our books!

Here’s something else we’re impressed by: iCare Optometric Centre doesn’t cut corners when it comes to technology, such as using high-quality imaging and precise eye assessments. 

Take their OCT technology, for instance—it lets you peek inside your eyes for a thorough examination.

However, these advanced tests and equipment at iCare might come with a higher price tag than other clinics. But based on what patients are saying, we think the investment is worth it for the quality of care you receive.

On a positive note, it’s great that eligible seniors can use their vouchers to cover the cost of their eye care exams and prescription eyeglasses that can improve their vision and support healthy aging. It’s a helpful perk for those who qualify.
