Our Approach
It can be difficult to know where to turn when your vision changes, your contacts become uncomfortable, or you have concerns about your eye health. At MC Eye Center, we take time to listen, examine, explain, and help you understand your options.
Dr. Pham has cared for Pasadena families since 1995. Patients stay because they are treated like people the office knows, not appointments on a schedule.
Meet Dr. PhamYour eye exam is about more than updating a prescription. It is an opportunity to understand and protect your eye health.
Start With Your Concern
Many patients are not sure which type of visit they need. Start with what you have been noticing, and we will point you to the page that explains that care. These pages are educational and do not provide a diagnosis.
These links are for choosing the right type of visit. They are not a diagnosis. If a symptom is sudden or severe, call the office rather than reading further.
Eye Care Services
Every visit begins with what you are noticing. From there we look closely, explain clearly, and help you decide on the next step.
For blurry vision, prescription changes, headaches, glare, or a routine review of your vision and eye health.
For redness, discomfort, light sensitivity, floaters, sudden changes, or an eye-health concern that goes beyond a prescription.
For eyes that feel burning, gritty, tired, irritated, excessively watery, or uncomfortable during screen time.
For patients whose contacts shift, feel uncomfortable, provide inconsistent vision, or require a more customized fit.
Ongoing evaluation, monitoring, and clear guidance for ocular and retinal conditions.
Frames, lenses, fitting, adjustments, and personalized help in the same office that provides your eye care.

We take time to understand what is affecting your vision and your daily life, then we build the visit around that.

Meet Your Optometrist
Nghiem Nguyen Pham, O.D.
Dr. Nghiem N. Pham has cared for Pasadena families since 1995, and much of his day is spent doing the part of optometry he values most: listening, examining carefully, and explaining what he finds so patients can make confident decisions about their eyes.
Dr. Pham has been involved with the Vietnamese Civic Center for many years and has served as Chair of its Board of Directors. That work reflects how he sees the practice: part of a community rather than apart from it.

Insurance and Benefits
Our team will help you understand which coverage applies to your visit before you come in, so the cost conversation happens early rather than at the front desk.
Insurance and payment detailsInsurance participation and plan networks can change. Acceptance of a plan does not guarantee that a specific service, frame allowance, or lens option is covered. Please verify your individual eligibility and benefits with your insurance provider and with our office before your visit.
Eyewear and Optical
Our optical sits alongside the exam room, so the people helping you choose frames already know your prescription and how you use your eyes each day.
Ken Okuyama Eyewear
Ken Okuyama built his career in industrial and automotive design, and that discipline carries into his eyewear: precise proportions, considered materials, and details you notice when the frames are in your hands.
We carry the collection across its Sports, Stile, Noble, Vita, and sunglass series, and we are glad to show it to you in person.

Sinceramente no entiendo como alguien puede hablar mal de esta oficina médica, he ido a hacerme mi examen visual con este doctor y desde que llegué me trataron con mucho respeto y se preocuparon por todas mis necesidades en todo momento, yo pienso volver a por mi examen por el buen trato y por la experiencia y conocimientos del doctor, en mi opinión se merecen 5 estrellas.
Dr. Pham is the best!!!! Very knowledgeable and like a member of the family! Love you Dr. Pham!
I have been coming to this location since 2008, its a great place. The Dr. Super friendly and well spoken when it comes to explaining your vision chart. Prices are fair. This place great for people that need to take any vision test for work CDL etc.. short notice they can provide contacts lenses.
Great staff and service!
