“This was the most pleasant eye appointment I’ve ever had. They offer snacks and drinks while you’re waiting and just all around friendly. I would recommend this place. ”

“Dr. Pillai and the staff were AMAZING!
I have keratoconus and was previously seeing a different doctor for scleral lenses when I started to get bad vibes. I did some digging online and found Pillai and decided to book an appointment. The experience was superb. The staff explained each step of the exam process, made sure I felt comfortable, etc. Overall, the scleral lens fitting process was way more detailed than my previous experiences, which is a positive thing in my opinion as more data points for the lens customizations seems better than fewer data points.
I can’t wait for my new scleral lenses to come in!”

Dr. Pillal and his staff have been the best for my keratoconus condition. His use of new technology to measure my condition, and knowledge of the best course of action for the best vision, has been unlike anything I have experienced since my original diagnosis 15 years ago. I look forward to working with Dr. Pillai for years to come.

You are in great hands with Dr. Pillai and his staff. Evolutionary Eye Care provides a one-of-a- kind eye exam. Unlike other places, Dr. Pillai. and his staff go the extra mile to explain exactly what they are doing and why. They are happy to answer any and all questions you may have throughout the exam and after you leave. I highly recommend going here for ALL your eye care needs. You will be in good hands.

All the way from Qatar, I traveled here for a medical visit for my Keratoconus and had an excellent experience, thanks to Dr. P. and his expertise.
