Exceptional Vision Care & Compassionate Expertise - Why I Trust Dr. Gulrez Khoja in Plano, TX I've been a loyal patient here for nearly five years, and every single visit reminds me why I'll never trust anyone else with my vision health. From the moment you step into the office, you're greeted like family by a team that's warm, professional, and genuinely invested in your well-being. The environment is modern and welcoming, but it's the human connection that makes this place extraordinary. Unlike many healthcare providers today, Dr. Khoja takes the time to truly listen. She doesn't just glance over charts--she dives deep into understanding your unique concerns. Because of my family history of eye disease, she's carefully monitored my vision for the last 2.5 years, keeping detailed progress reports and scheduling regular exams every six months. That kind of proactive, personalized care is something you rarely find anymore! Recently, I faced an entirely new health challenge: I'm preparing to start chemotherapy. While my medical team has been focused on the obvious concerns, it was Dr. Khoja who brought up a critical point that no one else had--how chemo can affect my vision. Thanks to her foresight, we established a baseline eye health assessment before my treatments even begin. This way, we'll know exactly how my vision is impacted and have options ready if corrective action is needed later. Who else thinks of that level of care? It's rare to find a doctor who combines world-class expertise with such a deep level of compassion. Dr. Khoja is a licensed Therapeutic Optometrist and Optometric Glaucoma Specialist, an expert in managing complex conditions like keratoconus, surgical complications, and specialized contact lens fittings. She also cares for children's vision needs and provides advanced treatments like Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT). Beyond her impressive credentials, she makes every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. That's the kind of doctor everyone deserves but so few actually find. If you're in Plano, TX or nearby, do yourself a favor--make an appointment with Dr. Khoja. Whether you need routine vision care, help managing complex conditions, or simply want a provider who will advocate for your overall health, you won't find a more compassionate and capable expert.

The Plano Eye Care Center - Trusted care from the moment you walk in. Grateful for Dr. Khoja's unwavering support and expert care! #GratefulPatient #VisionHealth - Optometrists Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is exceptional. My husband, two of my sons and my mother-in-law all use this place and I need to get my eyes checked so I Went in yesterday and everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. From the girls at the desk that take your information and make the appointment to the assistant that takes her time getting all the information that the optometrist to the optometrist.... You were made to feel important. The optometrist takes her time and explains everything she's doing. This place should be packed from open to close because they do such a wonderful job. read more

They provide walk in and very fast and precise. Dr. Sameer is good and fast in talking care of the patient

Felt like I knew Dr Khoja for a long time.. Makes you feel right at home.. Thanks for you kind care and concern...

Went in for prescription sunglasses, already used my VSP for the year on daily wear prescription glasses, so these would be out of pocket. They had the glasses marked up $100 above MSRP, and then with prescription lenses tried to charge $300-800 (after their 30% discount) more than I ended up getting the same pair from MyEyeDr in Plano an hour later. MyEyeDr even had the frame $9 less than MSRP. Won't attempt to use them again. read more

I absolutely love my experience here because the staff is so professional and Dr. Khoja is absolutely the best. She gives very personalized attention with detailed instructions on what you can do to improve. Of all the physicians, dentists, eye doctors, etc. I've been to all my life, she's definitely top-notch. I've been with Plano Eye Care for nearly a decade and I really can't complain. The office is also incredibly clean and organized. Everything is put together and it's a very easy patient experience. If you call them, they'll pick up the phone and answer any questions you have. read more

I came in for an eye exam with Dr.Smith and got new prescription eye glasses made at a different place, but the prescription was not comfortable and had a magnification component that I wasn't comfortable with. I went back to see her but they wouldn't let me do a follow up to fix the prescription that SHE recommended. They kept saying this is the best prescription you measured for, while I only saw her once. They robbed me off having my follow up to fix it and said you can go some were else. This was very offensive, unprofessional and dishonest. I guess they hate it when you don't do your lenses with their overpriced labs and try to make excuses, they literally wanted to charge me $25 for forcing me to have them check the right numbers on my prescription "because I didn't make the glasses with them." Definitely not coming back to this weird place. read more

We have loved Dr. K but unfortunately the staff does not listen to their patients at all! Patient care should be communication between patient and staff however staff here does not respect or care enough to simply listen and acknowledge their patients. It's incredibly disappointing the staff does not operate the same way as the Doctor does. read more

I had a great visit. This is the most informative office I've ever been to since I started wearing glasses. Dr. Khoja is all about your visual health, explaining in depth as well as monitoring it going forward to see what works and what doesn't. The staff was great as well. I am really happy with my new optometrist. read more

This eye care center is customer focused and professional. They got me in last minute and took care of all my needs! Best eye clinic and Doctor I have ever seen. Highly satisfied each visit. read more

Dr. Kohja and her team truly embrace the ideal of a warm consultative style.

I am a first-time patient for eye glasses and I was very impressed with the service I received from the doctor at this practice. I felt that the examination was thorough and the doctor was extremely informative. She took the time to explain her concerns, and explained what was occurring with my eyes from both a medical and physiological standpoint. I really appreciated this kind of in-depth explanation. After the exam, I spoke with the eyeglasses specialist who was able to help me pick out a pair of frames. I was fitted-up quickly, paid and sent on my way. I'm pretty excited to go pick up my new glasses when they're ready! read more

I moved to the area about a year ago and was down to my last pair of contacts, so after doing a little searching around through my insurance, I found Plano Eye Care Center. I'm so pleased with this business. The women at the front desk were friendly and I only waited a minute or so before I was called back for my appointment. *Side note: I have been historically TERRIBLE at the glaucoma test, where they send a little poof of air right at your eyeball and you can't blink. I can handle a lot, but when that test comes along, I just can't help but blink and flinch. I even apologize to the technicians in advance and ask them to bear with me while my eye freaks out. Well, this office has a device that quickly rolls over your closed eyelid! No more poof of air! This alone made me jump for joy. I was attended to by Dr. Khoja who was very nice, thorough, and kept stopping periodically to ask if I had any questions. The questions I had were answered completely and she made sure I understood. I had only come in for a contact lens exam, so it wasn't very complicated, but it was nice to learn a little more about my vision. I am looking forward to continuing my care with them and will certainly be referring others to the practice as well. read more

I have been coming to The Plano Eye Care center for years. I keep coming back because the staff and the Dr. are very knowledgeable and professional. There are many eye care centers in the area, but why would I want to change when I get the best care here. I come about once a year for my eye check up and the staff and Dr. are very professional and friendly. The Dr. is up on the latest and greatest ever changing eye care. The Dr. always remember me, even though I come once a year. If you are looking for good service, very knowledgeable Dr. and a friendly and supportive staff I would highly recommend The Plano Eye Care Center. read more

My kids have been patients at Plano Eye Care Center for many years. My son first started with Ortho-K contact lenses (wear 'em at night only, awesome invention). They've worked out great. Back then, there weren't many places that offered these types of contacts, and when we came here we were very impressed. The doctor was not pushy, and didn't promise any amazing results, just explained how they worked, that a lot of people are happy with them but may not work for everyone, etc (for the record, I don't like pushy sales people). We thought it was worth a try so we went ahead, and it's worked out great. My daughter needed the same a few years later, and we've had a similar experience with her. Both Dr. Khoja and Dr. Patel are friendly and helpful. They're always ready to listen to concerns and make whatever adjustments are necessary in treatment. Again, they aren't pushy about buying new lenses, or any other service. They make suggestions, explain the pros and cons, and let us decide. I know there have been some folks complaining about office staff, and there was some turnover in the past, but in 7 years, I've never had a problem with any of them. We check in, see the the doctor, then pay our bill and schedule our next appointment. I highly recommend this place for all your eye care needs. read more

I have been with Dr. Khoja at Plano Eye Care for several years and find her and her staff to be simply wonderful! They are kind, knowledgeable and proactive. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

It was a very good experience at Plano Eye Care Center. My mother-in-law had cataract surgery half a year ago in China. Her left eye was hit by kid and was hurt and swollen next day. I took her to see Dr. Khoja per friend's recommendation. Dr. Khoja was very friendly and professional. She explained everything clearly to us. The staff were friendly as well. The waiting time was not as long as I expected. The price was fair. read more

This review is really about two different experiences. I really liked the optometrist and the time she spent with me and thoroughly explained things. That part of the review gets five stars! The optician experience was completely different. There was no transparency in what they were quoting and their pricing structure. The "basic" lens I was sold was not a basic lens at all and they put a bunch of add-ons that I did not request. They also didn't use my insurance for the lens to "save me money", but in the end, it was around avoiding transparency of pricing and not providing an itemization of individual charges, which I still do not have. The manager of the optician practice had to be called over twice to "explain" things to me, but they are focused on optimizing sales and not focused on the customer. I may go back because the optometrist was fantastic, but I would recommend avoiding the optician part of the process. . . . . I will not be going back! read more

I have had a great experience with everyone at the Plano Eye Center. The Doctor: Dr. Khoja is FANTASTIC. She exams every detail of your eye and vision. Not only that, she explains any issues or questions you have about your eye, in a way that you can understand. She exudes confidence and is extremely knowledgeable. Great "bedside" manner as well. The Staff: The staff is always friendly and helpful. They all seem like they love their jobs, and that's very important to me. The Office: The office is very clean modern. Great selection of glasses and contacts. They also have state of the art equipment which helps me to know that correcting my vision is very important to them, not just a paycheck. I have never waited longer than ten minutes either. This is the only eye doctor I will ever go to again! read more

After a bad experience with another supposedly 5 stars review optometrist. They let me hanging and waited for a long time. I left and took my business along with my family of four to Dr. Patel. He is very down to earth and his staffs are very polite and helpful. They got me in on time and Dr. Patel was very professional and he use the latest technology. I would recommend this place without a doubt. Keep up the good work. read more

Great eye clinic, the Dr. was super nice and explained everything really well. My only complaint was the extended wait time, but I guess they were just super busy that day. Still, a great clinic and I'll recommend it to others. read more

I have been coming to this office to see Dr Khoja for 5 years now and am very pleased with the quality of service and care overall. The office has very fancy state-of-the-art looking equipment, clean exam rooms and competent staff. Dr Khoja is very thorough and dedicated. She always explains what she does and observes very clearly. She is extremely polite and makes sure I am comfortable at all times during the exam. My only complaint is that wait times are often long (more than 90 minutes from arrival to departure) and I feel they are sometimes being a little pushy trying to get you purchase glasses from their store. But overall this is a great place to get annual eye exams and I will keep coming in the future. read more

First time visit today and was absolutely impressed. Dr Khoja was so nice and caring. I felt really confident in her analysis. I will be going back for any eye checkups in the future. I would recommend her to anyone. -Jess read more

Amazing job done by this office! My daughter broke her glasses and we were going on vacation in two days. They were so nice to tell us what lenses they had in stock and got my kid up and running by the close of day. I couldn't have been more grateful! read more

My wife and I have seen Dr. Kurtin for 25 years. We have been treated by the new Dr. and she was great! Very informative, explained everything very well and asked multiple times if I had a question or concern. I am sure she will do very well. read more

I chose The Plano Eye Care Center because they took my insurance and were in the same building as my internist. It was a serendipitous decision because I had a great experience with Dr. Kohja and her staff. They go out of your way to explain things to you as comprehensively and with as much detail as the patient requires. read more

This was one of the best experiences that I have had with regards to an eye exam. I did not have to wait long to be seen, the staff was very helpful and the eye doctor was extremely personable, helpful and easy to talk too about my eyes. And the cost of the exam was extremely reasonable considering we don't have vision insurance. I would highly recommend this center. read more

Came here for the first time and the office manager, Heather, was incredibly rude. I don't recommend coming here unless you want to be treated poorly. Small selection of overpriced frames. read more

Dr. Kohja is an incredible, thorough, caring, and patient focused professional. I chose The Plano Eye Care Center specifically due to their location where I live. I saw my previous optometrist for 28 years after he caught a retinal tear in my early twenties that saved my vision in my left eye. He recently retired so I made an assumption that all eye care places would be the same and choose convenience. On my first visit to Dr. Kohja I related all the issues I had with my contacts and vision over the past few years. She immediately asked if she could try some various lenses to help my reading/distance vision issues. Over the next two months she has created the best eyesight I have had in over a decade. She could have easily fitted me with the same lenses I had, and sent me on my way. Instead she has improved my quality of life, improved comfort during long days of contracts/computer reading, and improved my safety as a pilot. I recommend her and the staff completely - they are even worth a long drive based on my experience! read more

We were looking for an eye doctor in the Plano area and although there were many, we decided to try out this one - mostly because of its central location and the fact that it is open on Saturday's by appointment. First of all there is ample parking available and the building has several other independent medical practitioners so it is almost like a one stop place for your medical needs. My wife and I, had made no appointment but the front desk folks were great about squeezing us in, great flexibility. I would recommend making an appointment though, just so you get the doctor you want. The facility has several eye doctors and a vast selection of contact lenses and eye glasses, if you are just looking at purchasing eye products, I am sure you can bring in your prescription and they would accommodate you, they even have a special area where they show new contact lens patients how to put on and take care of their contact lenses. Once our preliminary exam was complete, we were greeted by Dr. Khoja, she was phenomenal in trying to understand what my daily routine was like, the issues I was facing, she put me at ease (I hadn't been to an optometrist in over 5 years). Once she had completed an interview, she then began a thorough in depth exam. In the end, she shows you a before and after image, to give you an idea of how much of a difference eye glasses/contact lenses would make. I like that they were very honest and practical, based on my prescription, they recommended I get corrective vision to fix my astigmatism but they also suggested that my wife's vision did not require corrective vision at this time. The other thing that is so great is that during your eye exam, the optometrist takes a second look at your previous prescriptions for you in case you wanted a second opinion. We have since moved away from Plano, but we can guarantee that we will be returning back here for any of our family's eye care needs. read more

Dr. Khoja does not rush the exam and take the time to answer all your questions. Very pleasant experience.

My family has been coming here for several years. I wear contacts, and have 3 kids that wear glasses and/or contacts - including one that wears RGP lenses. Dr. Khoja and the entire staff is truly amazing. They are knowledgeable, caring, responsive, very timely with appointments, and will jump through hoops to help you. Dr. Khoja takes time with us every time - thorough exam, asks questions, and takes time to answer all of yours. Never have I felt rushed or confused. She manages her schedule well so that you're never waiting more than a couple minutes, yet she gives you all the time you need. And everyone at the front desk, back office, glasses - top notch. They truly are committed to "patient CARE". Very Highly recommend! read more

This is the BEST eye doctor experience I've ever had. And I've been wearing glasses and contacts for many years. From the receptionist all the way to the doctors, EVERYONE is so sweet, happy, kind, and helpful. They have a huge selection of eyewear and they even take care credit. I'm a very, VERY satisfied customer. read more

e wary of the staff. I arrived for my appointment ahead of time and checked in. I stated that I need to visit the lady's room. I was gone shortly and upon returning both the gentlemen that arrived after me we not in the waiting area. I sat down and waited. After 25 minutes, I asked the girl up front to verify my appt time. I thought I might of had the wrong time. She said I had the right time and would check with the doctors assistant. After speaking to the assistant, she came up to me and informed me that they had an emergency come in and that I could wait. I said okay. I don't think she even heard me because she seems to be on a mission to get me out of there. She started telling me I know this has happen to you before. I just looked at her trying to understand what she was getting at because I had never had any issues. Then she began to instruct me to continue with my drops until my next appt. She did not confer with the doctor and just diagnosed me herself. I got up and said okay, I had not set another appointment and asked what appointment are you talking about. After figuring out that matter, I looked up and 2 other employees were just standing there looking at me and whispering to each other. I have never been treated like this before. They made me feel like I had Covid or something. The doctor stated last time we spoke of putting me on prescription drops and now the girl tells me to continue with the over the counter drops for another 6 months. I never raised my voice and just left the office, but then called back after thinking...what just happened to me. I told them how rude and unprofessional I felt I was treated. I had driven 30 miles to come there and had been a patient for the last 6 years. I proceed to request that they remove my husband and I from their patient list. read more

Dr. Khoja is incredibly kind and thorough. I've always been a patient here for many years and have always and consistently had a wonderful experience with her and her staff, and they always take good care of us. I would highly recommend her to everyone reading this--you'd be lucky to have her as your optometrist. read more

I will never go to another Eye Dr. Dr. Khoja is wonderful!! She takes her time and makes sure you understand all the information she is giving you. Office staff is so friendly and welcoming. Great place!! read more

Great service,with top of the line testing equipment, and a wide selection of frames and lens options. Dr. Khoja did a wonderful job of explaining all my test results and the current state of my eye health. It was a perfect experience. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Plano Eye Care Center. Dr Khoja did an excellent job making sure I got the best results possible with my new contacts. The effort Dr Khoja made to ensure I was satisfied with my prescription was amazing. Great, friendly staff as well. read more

Have been a patient here for many years. The office staff has always been great with our family in setting appointments, ordering glasses, resolving any issues that come up. The doctors are extremely thorough in their exam. All procedures and tests are explained and all questions are answered in terms one can understand. I have never felt rushed and the doctors are pleasant and put you at ease. They give recommendations on keeping your eyes healthy. Very pleased. read more

I love the docs here. If I was just rating them it would be 5 stars. BUT the office staff/office manager makes this experience horrible. First I was told my insurance was out of network and had changed names. I called my insurance, they are in network and did not have a name change, but had partnered with another company. I called the office back, was told that they didn't explain it well to me and got me an appointment. Great. Appointment went well until it was time to pay. My part should have been $70 ($35 exam/$35 contact lens fitting) but I was charged $160+. The office manager said that only the exam was in network (even though I was showing them my coverage on line) and if the only charged me $35 for the contact part, they wouldn't get paid. Not really my problem and when I called my insurance (after paying and leaving) they also called the office and said it was an issue with them not knowing how to file. So beware of the billing end and know you insurance benefits in advance because they won't! read more
