Skokie optometrist
For optimal adult and pediatric vision and eye health, count on us at Evanston Eyecare. Our practice is full-service, and everything from your annual eye exam to filling your prescription for corrective lenses is done with expert and attentive care.
Children should get their first complete eye exam from our
Skokie optometrist before she or he begins school, and then at least every other year after. Keep in mind that vital social skills as well as educational development are linked directly to vision for a child. He or she can benefit greatly from getting necessary eyeglasses, and from having childhood vision concerns like lazy eye diagnosed and addressed in a timely manner. As an adult, you should get a yearly eye exam to ensure your best corrected vision, and also so you can be screened for early signs of common eye diseases. These include glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, all of which have no obvious symptoms until they reach an advanced stage, often accompanied by harm to your eye or vision loss that cannot be recovered. Or Skokie optometrist also works with those with low vision, which is caused by the result of one or more of the above eye diseases. Low vision is defined as when you are unable to benefit from prescription lenses and conventional optical solutions (including surgery) to gain the needed improvements. Contact lens exams and fittings are done to make certain you have a positive experience when you decide to wear contacts. They have considerations that are not part of wearing eyeglasses. And don't forget our optical department, skillfully creating your glasses and contacts to precise standards.
Set up yours or your child's regular eye exam with our
Skokie optometrist. Call us today. And if there are any symptoms concerning you, don't wait until it's time for your routine checkup.
