An Eye Examination at Skowron Eyecare

Constant investment in the latest technology makes eye exams easier and more accurate for everyone from toddlers to seniors, usually without the inconvenience of dilation. Over the past fifteen years, in three separate reviews by a leading consumer magazine, we were rated one of the best in Chicagoland with a consistent 90% overall patient satisfaction rating.

Mobility problems with our most senior citizens are not an issue at Skowron Eyecare. We have a dedicated room designed for wheelchair eye exams. A portable autorefractor and slit lamp enable exact prescriptions and evaluation for those who either sit very low or are hunched over in their wheelchairs.
