Pediatric Eye Clinic

What Pediatric Eye Clinic does

Pediatric Eye Clinic is an independently owned optometry practice based in Houston, Texas, founded circa 1990-1992 and operating from a single location at 6510 Hillcroft St, Suite 300. The practice is led by Dr. Pedro Gómez (O.D., F.A.A.O.), a pediatric optometrist with 30+ years of experience and dual fellowships (American Academy of Optometry; International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control), alongside Dr. Claudia V. Contreras (O.D.), an Optometric Glaucoma Specialist and Therapeutic Optometrist. The clinic serves children, families, and adults in the Houston metropolitan area, with bilingual Spanish/English service delivery targeted at the local Hispanic community.

The practice's core offerings center on pediatric optometry, orthokeratology (OrthoK), and myopia management, supported by a portfolio of specialty services including dry eye treatment, amblyopia therapy, astigmatism correction, eye emergencies, blepharitis management, keratoconus treatment, and strabismus care. Its primary technical capability is custom contact lens design via the Wave Contact Lens Design Software combined with corneal topography mapping, enabling highly customized lenses (26 design parameters) for complex refractive cases including keratoconus and post-refractive surgery corrections. OrthoK lenses are FDA-approved (since 2002) and use highly oxygen-permeable materials for overnight corneal reshaping.

The business model is professional services plus ancillary hardware sales. Revenue is generated through comprehensive eye examinations, OrthoK treatment programs (typically multi-year, with initial fitting and progress visits), custom Wave contact lens sales (priced per lens, complexity-dependent), prescription eyewear, and vision therapy. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the clinic offers special promotions for children and students. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via in-person clinic visits, phone scheduling, and online appointment requests, with marketing driven by the bilingual website, six social media channels, patient reviews, and educational blog content. The practice has no external institutional investment, no parent company, and operates with 1-10 employees.
