Allen H. Chin (“Dr. Chin”), O.D. received his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Houston’s College of Optometry in 1975. His undergraduate studies were completed at Louisiana State University (LSU) and the University of Houston. His fields of special interest include keratoconus and orthokeratology, and his reputation and clinical experience have gained the referrals and trust of ophthalmologists, optometrists, and medical clinics around Houston.

Dr. Chin is a Fellow of the International Orthokeratology Society and serves as adjunct faculty for the New England College of Optometry. Dr. Chin also remains active in the American Optometric Association and the Texas Optometric Association.

Dr. Chin’s early college studies began in chemical engineering; however, he made the decision to switch to optometry because he values his daily interactions with people. Dr. Chin believes it is a privilege for him to create and establish lifelong relationships with his patients.

When he is not treating patients, Dr. Chin likes to spend his free time gardening.

Allen J. Chin (“Dr. Allen”), O.D. received his Doctor of Optometry from the Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry in 2003. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. His special fields of interest include orthokeratology and scleral lenses for corneal diseases.

Dr. Allen’s passion for optometry began as a baby as he spent time around the office and his father, Dr. Allen H. Chin (“Dr. Chin”), also an optometrist in the practice. He says that some of his current patients still have memories of him as a little child in the office. As he grew older, he became more interested in science and helping others.

Dr. Allen loves the relationships he has developed with his patients over generations. Seeing families change and catching up with them as friends every day is very special. A bonus of working with his father has allowed them to foster a family relationship for over four generations for some.

When Dr. Allen is not treating patients in the office, he enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
