Using state of the art technology, our eye doctor in Skokie can diagnose any early signs of eye conditions or eye disease that can commonly afflict patients. Our treatment goals are centered around the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions and in providing our patients with friendly and compassionate eye care. We believe that annual eye exams and eye care are the best tool in helping maintain healthy eyes and preventing future eye disease. There are certain eye diseases and conditions that can develop slowly over time and without pain or any vision loss. The best way to combat these and other diseases is with early detection. This allows us to treat wholly and with the best treatment option available. Our exams last about an hour and include refraction for glasses or contact lenses, a slit lamp exam, a test for intraocular pressure, which can help to detect glaucoma, and a full exam of the retina. Other tests may include optic nerve imaging or computerized visual field testing.

Our eye doctor in Skokie also performs exams that are specialized just for children. Children can be highly affected by vision problems, especially in school. Developing eyes must be checked at least once per year to ensure children are able to learn properly and do not have any barriers to quality of life. Undetected vision problems in children can harm their progress academically, socially and athletically. We will assess your child’s vision during their exam and then determine if they have the proper visual ability necessary to succeed in school and day to day life. Many parents do not realize that 80% of all learning takes place through the visual system, so it’s important for children to have the best vision possible.
