Dr-T-pic2

Dr. Arslan Tajammul or “Dr. T,” as his patients call him, is a board certified Glaucoma specialist and Therapeutic Optometrist.  Born in Pakistan and raised in Canada, Dr. T completed most of his studies in Edmonton, Canada, including his Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Alberta. He completed his Optometry degree from Nova Southeastern University in Florida in 2013 and was awarded the Clinician of the Year for his graduating class. Dr. T has been in practice in Houston since that time. Dr. T is a member of the Harris County Optometric Association (HCOS), the Texas Optometry Association (TOA) and the American Optometric Association (AOA). He also participates in Infantsee, a vital public health program for infants. Dr. T is also a member of the Clinical Ethics Committee (CEC) at the Texas Medical Center, where he is especially consulted on sensitive medical-cultural issues related to patients from Eastern cultures.

Dr. T’s areas of interest include dry eye treatment and related minor surgical procedures that he is experienced with, fitting hard lenses (including sclerals and RGPs) and treating glaucoma. Dr. T is also a certified Orthokeratologist, a reversible eye correction option where patients wear hard lenses while sleeping that shape the eye so that they no longer need any glasses or contact lenses during the day! Dr. T absolutely loves the profession and thus mentors newer graduating Optometrists and consults other Eye Doctors on how to best manage their practices

Dr. T and his wife Zona love volunteering with various community service and non-profit organizations. You will often find Dr. T volunteering in the greater 5th ward community of Houston where resources are scarce and help is needed, or working with newly arrived refugees in Houston to get them acclimated, or helping disadvantaged women who are often victims of abuse and domestic violence. Dr. T is a firm believer in giving back to the overall Houston community – through Optometry and otherwise!
