What conditions can you detect during an exam?

During our comprehensive eye exam, we will determine if you need contacts or glasses.

If you do need glasses, our Elmhurst, IL, office has a huge selection of frames to choose from. We will also look for any eye muscle imbalances such as reading comprehension, dry eyes, or systemic diseases.

Should I choose glasses or contacts?

We offer both glasses and contacts. Because we have over 10,000 contacts in stock at our Elmurrst, Il office, we can give you a trial contact lens in to see which you prefer. Most insurances usually cover only glasses or contacts for the year.

How long will it take for my new glasses or contacts to arrive?

We have one of the largest selections of glasses Elmhurst, IL has to offer. If you order your glasses from us, they can arrive within 7-10 business days. Contacts will arrive within the week.

Can I get a diabetic eye test?

Yes, and due to our technology that enables us to see the entire back of the eye, you most likely will not need to be dilated. We will also provide the results to your physician.
