Meet Dr. John Tavares (Houston, TX)

Originally from Warren, Michigan, Dr. John Tavares relocated to Houston in 1995. Dr. Tavares began his undergraduate studies at Wayne State University in Detroit, and later at the University of Houston, before going on to earn his doctorate of optometry from the University of Houston College of Optometry in 2003. While at the college of optometry, Dr. Tavares received supplemental clinical training in the area of complex medical eye conditions and surgical solutions. Although Dr. Tavares enjoys providing general eye health exams and fitting contact lenses, he has a well-earned reputation for developing exacting solutions to complex eye conditions and has a particular interest in preventive care and ocular health maintenance.
 
Dr. Tavares has been affiliated with Memorial Eye Center since his relocation to Houston in 1995.
 
Dr. Tavares is an ardent sports fan and can often be found in the stands at an Astros, Texans, or Aeros game. He passionately follows the Detroit Red Wings and rarely misses an Astros’ spring training in Florida. Dr. Tavares also enjoys participating in fundraisers, especially at Hollibrook Elementary School where his wife is an educator.
 
Dr. Tavares is available for English and Spanish language exams.

I want to thank the entire staff at the Eldridge/Memorial location. The atmosphere and professionali... sm made another Annual appointment worthy of my time. From the start of the exam with the Assistance, the Dr. and then with Glasses personal/expert knowledge is another important aspect of returning to this location. Appreciating their time to explain every eye exam picture, concerns if any and professional advice on future issues. I enjoyed trying on a new glasses frame, especially with the positive feedback on which glasses looked best. I appreciate ALL of the people that saw me for this last appointment on June 12, 2025.

I just had an eye exam with Antonio, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! He m... ade me feel so comfortable and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which really put me at ease. His directions were clear and easy to follow, and his customer service is top-notch. I honestly wish I had come here sooner the whole staff is amazing. I highly recommend Antonio for anyone looking for a great, professional, and friendly experience! Thank you Antonio & Memorial Eye Center Team ♥️
