Dr. Matthew Lee was born and raised in Chicago. His passion for eye care stemmed from his own experiences with his optometrist growing up. He saw the difference specialty contact lenses could make in someone’s life and wanted to provide that same quality of care to others. After receiving his B.A in Nutritional Biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University, he went on to complete his Doctorate of Optometry at the University of Houston College of Optometry. Dr. Lee was a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa honors society and graduated with distinction.
Following graduation, Dr. Lee pursued a residency in cornea and contact lenses at the University of Missouri – St. Louis College of Optometry. His passion for specialty contact lenses only grew as he served a large population of patients with corneal disease and injuries. He also participated heavily in surgical co-management, facilitating the care of patients after refractive and cataract surgeries. During residency, Dr. Lee served an active role as an educator, training optometry students in both didactic and clinical settings. He is currently a member of the Contact Lens and Cornea Section of the American Academy of Optometry and the American Optometric Association.
Dr. Lee enjoys practicing comprehensive optometry, specializing in fitting medical contact lenses. In his free time, Dr. Lee loves spending time with friends, photography, and exploring the Pacific Northwest. He is excited to work with an amazing team at EyeHealth Northwest to serve your unique eye care needs.
Very well run and clean. I really liked my eye doctor Dr. Lee! They squeezed me in to get eye glasses after my exam! I’m glad I could go to them through my kaiser coverage!
Dr. Matthew Lee was very thorough, kind and gave a good explanation of my contact issue and how to address it. He even gave me a demonstration of a new cleaning device and offered a free sample. Office staff was friendly, competent and the wait time was minimal. Thank you!
Dr Lee was friendly and thorough. He answered all my questions and was very kind. The optical department was very patient and helpful with assisting me with picking out new frames. I didn’t feel rushed and the honest criticism of the frames I chose to try on were most helpful. All aspects of service showed attention to detail and Covid precautions were all in place in the office. I would recommend them highly.
Dr Matthew Lee was amazing! He was very efficient. His nurse assistant was fabulous! Best experience at this office ever.
I had the best experience with Dr Matthew Lee (and the whole staff). I had been to several with family and he was very good at explaining, taking his time, answering all my questions and not making me feel rushed or stupid. But with that said it was also a quick apt and did not have to wait extra long for the dr which is rare too. Very impressed. Highly recommend that location.
