Overview
Dr. Melody Amador was born and raised in San Antonio and first moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for college. She attended the University of Dallas, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in physics, then earned her Doctor of Optometry at the University of Houston College of Optometry, graduating summa cum laude. She practises at the East Bailey Boswell Road office in Saginaw.
Her belief that quality eye care belongs to everyone is not an abstract line in her case. Her experience includes a community clinic in downtown Dallas serving underserved populations, which is where she deepened her work in ocular disease management. Clinics like that see glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and advanced cataract in patients who have gone years without an examination, and that changes how carefully a doctor looks at a retina afterwards.
At the Saginaw office she sees adults and children for full eye examinations, glasses and contact lens fittings, and the medical work alongside it: eye pressure testing and visual fields for glaucoma, dilated and imaged retinal examinations, diabetic eye checks reported back to the physician, dry eye and urgent eye problems.
She takes pride in care that feels personal rather than processed, and patients tend to describe her exams that way. In her free time she paints, reads and spends time with her family.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Amador?
Call the Saginaw-E Bailey Boswell Rd office in Saginaw, Texas on 682-382-2020 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment.

What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Amador?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined.
