I have tried 5 different optometrists in 5 years and have been very disappointed in the service, the doctor, and their inability to take the time and effort in my exam or in giving me the correct prescription. The experience has felt like I'm just person they could jam into their schedule and conduct a quick exam with little knowledge, try to sell me the most expenses products and get me out of the door. However, this place was a breath of fresh air! From the moment you call the office to schedule an appointment to the service, the doctor and everything else related to my appointment was amazing. The office staff is so friendly and will go above and beyond to help you. The doctor was great - very knowledgeable, friendly, took her time in truly explaining why and how she conducted each procedure, showed me in detail the results of my test. Additionally, they are doing a great job in making sure patients are safe during these Covid times. I finally have the correct prescription for my contacts and can see! read more

Very punctual, clean and organized practice. Dr Asano explained what we were doing and why at each step in the exam. I was very comfortable with all of the staff. They also helped me to pick out two new frames of glasses. Their glasses selection was more interesting than what you see in some shops or somewhere like warby Parker. So glad Yelp led me here! There is metered street parking outside and is located about a block down from the food stretch of Fulton market. read more

Eyes On Fulton - Exam room - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Disappointed with my experience here. The eye exam was significantly more expensive than at other places I've been to. On top of that, Dr. Asano refused to approve my contact lens order from any online retailer, claiming they weren't an 'approved brand'--even though it was the same brand I've always used. It felt like a push to order directly from her at a marked-up price. If you value the freedom to order your own lenses, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Dr. Asano, Kelly, and Soohee are absolutely amazing! Any time I go in for an exam or to purchase glasses I have the best experience. Dr. Asano is kind, knowledgeable, and super helpful with picking out new frames! I cannot recommend Eyes on Fulton enough. read more

Dr. Asani is amazing. So knowledgeable, personable, genuine and authentic. I don't trust easily, and I could tell quickly that she's good people. She was honest about what I needed, didn't need, and what my options were. Loved supporting this local, top-notch business. read more

See all

Excellent, efficient, accurate eye doctor who pays attention to the details - which, quite frankly, you need when it comes to your vision. You go there to SEE better, and if you're not sure what that means, she can figure that out for you. It's not just "1 or 2, 3 or 4", but if you hesitate or respond confidently. My prescription needed just a bit of tweaking, and after mentioning my dry eyes, recommended two brands with samples that were MILES BETTER than what I was using before. It was the difference between putting an eye drop in (new contacts) vs mini scratchy wool blankets that made you want to claw your eyes out (old contacts). Started after all the sanitizing on time, done in about 30 minutes, with samples - BOOM. I can see and I have my new eye doctor. Parking is brutal, but well worthwhile. read more

Finally a proper optometrist who cares! I had been to 2 previous optimists the past 5 years and they were both Pearle Vision's and they were both useless. Hellbent on upselling me and now recently discovered, giving me the wrong prescription. Dr.Asano is incredibly nice, informative and seems to actually care for your vision. I was never pressured into anything and now I will be able to actually read books again. As I thought I had some sort of eye degeneration since I went to Pearle Vision only 3 months prior for a new prescription which was wrong. Go here. I just wish they were open on the weekends! read more

I've been going to Dr. Asano for years, even before she had her own practice. She's a good friend of mine so it's a no brainer that I trust her. Now my eyes are pretty straightforward. I got Lasik done several years ago, so I just need a regular exam to make sure things are a-ok. My husband, on the other hand, gets corneal abrasions. His eyes are a big old mess. Dr. Asano has been great at helping him maintain his eyes and keep the abrasions at bay. She's always up to date on professional development and her practice uses the latest fancy doodads. Not only that, but she's super cool as a person. Back before kids, she would regularly volunteer her time and expertise to serve poor communities in South America. Other pluses: They're great at maximizing your insurance. There's a parking spot for her patients right in front. Very handy in the West Loop! read more

Dr. Asano and Kelly are fantastic. Let's get that out there first. Initially, I was drawn to them because they carried State Optical eyewear. Secondly, they were close by. But what I didn't expect was to have such patient and helpful people in Dr. Asano and Kelly. Firstly, Dr. Asano was the first person to tell me about how I could get dailys via insurance due to my prescription. Secondly, both Dr. Asano and Kelly were extremely patient with my glasses situation as I thought I had the wrong prescription (they weren't wrong). Thirdly, they carry a good number of eyewear that I like. But lastly and most importantly, they were extremely kind and helpful every step of the way. They answered any questions or concerns I had whether it was contacts, eyeglasses, lasik. Highly recommended. read more

I have been a client for 2 years now and absolutely love my eye dr! Easy scheduling, text or email reminders, and friendly staff. Great selection of glasses with a range of prices. Staff help find the right look and fit. Very positive. Since coming here I have changed my contacts per dr suggestion and it has been such a change for my sight and my dry eyes. I called in on a Saturday morning after a small issue and received help right away. Highly recommended! read more

I absolutely love going to Eyes On Fulton for my eye care and eyewear. The frame selection is fantastic and constantly changing to keep up with the current style. The staff, Kelly and Soohee are the best and they give very helpful and realistic suggestions for what will work for my face shape and me. Dr. Asano is a residency trained optometrist who is efficient and extremely personable. The location can't be beat, I often find myself hanging out after my eye exam and eating at the great restaurants right down the street. If you are due for an eye exam or just need some new frames, I would highly recommend :) read more

Dr. Asano and her staff Kelly and Soohee are amazing! My favorite optometrist office where I can find great stylish frames and contacts delivers quick. Really glad I made the choice especially because they are located very conveniently in the West Loop for exams. Highly recommend! read more

I sought out Dr. Asano after moving to the West Loop area, and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. They've implemented a robust online check-in system to make sure all of your documents are taken care of, and they've made appointments and pick-up as safe as I could imagine in the COVID era. The staff is friendly and helpful, and you can even use Apple pay to make the experience nearly 100% contactless. Which is the reason I needed an eye checkup. read more

Dr. Asano and her staff are excellent! Very impressed. I've been looking for a new neighborhood eye doctor and I've definitely found one. I was able to schedule an appointment easily online. I didn't have to wait at all once I arrived, and her staff is very friendly and professional. During the appointment, Dr Asano talked me through the entire checkup process, and even taught me about the history of my particular contacts. She was able to recommend better lenses which are much more comfortable than the lenses I've been wearing for years. My trial lenses were available to pick up the next day, and ordering through her office is simple. The only warning I have is walk or take the train to the Morgan stop as parking is tough to come by in this area. However, I drove there without a plan, so there might be better parking than I was able to find after a couple laps around the block. read more

Alright, so my glasses got run over by a car. As in, the glasses I need to be able to cross streets or recognize people without getting uncomfortably close or really see at all and wear every day. They fell out of my pocket while I was wearing my sunglasses and they had already met their end when I found them again. After calling a number of places - panicked, I might add - Eyes On Fulton was able to see me within hours, as my prescription was expired and were 99% sure they could have new glasses for me by the next day. Both Dr. Asano and Kelly were great with walking me through my options (mostly the fact that I had to go out of pocket for the lenses, but they made sure I had a receipt for FSA, and that they charged the eye exam to insurance), taking the frames I had purchased at another retailer, and obviously, getting me new glasses within 24 hours of my appointment. I hazard to say I like my new glasses a lot better, and needed a reup anyway, though I guess I wish I had come to the office under better circumstances. I'll be back to grab a second pair or simply for my checkups, as I had such a great experience and would highly recommend. Even if your glasses don't get run over by a car. read more

I rarely take the time to leave reviews, but my experience here warranted one. By far the most thorough and knowledgeable eye exam I've ever received. And they never once tried to upsell me on expensive frames or costly extras I didn't need. Fantastic place! read more

Dr. Asano and her staff are fantastic. Such a great experience. Everyone in the office was so friendly and helpful. Could not recommend this office more highly. Thank you! read more

It's not like me to review anything other than food. But, i have to make an exception here because the girls at Eyes on Fulton were just exceptional. As a visitor from SoCal, i was kind of upset that i had forgotten to pack my sunglasses. So after a fantastic lunch at Little Goat nearby, I was so happy to have stumbled upon this super cute boutique. The interior is like someone's ultra posh walk-in closet (like Lisa's closet from the Beverly Hills Housewives - she's the British one). Really different than any other optical shops I've been to. They have pink/magenta chairs! They carry a variety of frames for both regular glasses and sunglasses. I must have tried on more than 20 pairs of sunglasses before finally deciding on one! Kelly, the receptionist, was so helpful along with the doctor who personally helped me choose the right pair. They were so nice and honest with their opinions. In the end, I left with a great pair of Tom Ford sunglasses. And the best part? NO TAX!! What you see is what you pay. Awesome! They have a 'self-serve' Keurig coffee station and bottles of water for you. And if you check-in, you get a free peppermint chapstick. read more

I recently went to Eyes on Fulton for a new pair of glasses. I was apprehensive because of COVID but the staff takes things seriously. They take your temperature and give you hand sanitizer as you enter. Everyone wears masks and the doctor wears a face shield as well. It was a great experience and they have the latest technology. read more

Dr. Asano is amazing! I wish I had a primary care doctor that was half as good as she is. She takes the time to explain details and procedures to you in a clear and thoughtful way and she makes sure all your questions are answered. Her staff is also very personable, welcoming and helpful! Overall a great team and experience! Thank you for your wonderful work. read more

Service was great! Very clean and in and out quickly! Was able to order frames easily. Super cute and right in the heart of West Loop!

I have never seen the comfort and professionalism like this before. No sales pitch, only "best" customer service.

This was my first time at this business. I was very pleased with my experience. With my work schedule I'm unable to make weekdays. Dr. Asano was accommodating with my schedule. I made am appointment for Saturday morning. It was just Dr. Asano in the office, she came in just for me since doesn't have many weekend appointments. She was very friendly and helpful. I am needing new glasses and after the appointment she helped me try on pairs and gave feedback for ~30minutes. The boutique itself is cute, modern and chic. The office is in a great location in the West Loop, after my Saturday morning appointment I met with some friends at Little Goat nearby for brunch. Overall, I was pleased with my visit and would recommend her office to other people needing glasses! read more

Holy schmoly these folks are amazing! I never needed glasses until recently (just another fun thing about getting older I guess), so I don't know my way around eye exams. My parents were of the "no issues, why get an exam" approach, and I never went out of my way to get it done as an adult. I went by myself, got a new scrip for work glasses (years of working on laptops, along with age takes its toll). They helped me pick out frames, and just made the entire experience fun. Lovely people! I even booked an appointment for my hubby while I was there, and warned them he's a toughie, since he's had the opposite history - he has gone for exams and glasses since he was little, and hates, hates, hates the whole experience. Even a toughie like him was won over immediately! They helped him pick a fabulous pair of frames, he gets compliments all the time on them! He also commented on how so many things were explained to him that no one has taken the time to do before. Am going back as soon as insurance allows a 2nd pair. Love these folks - strongly, strongly recommend! read more

They were very nice and knowledgeable and were able to see me on short notice. Also they have a great selection of glasses, both modern and retro, that are reasonably priced. I highly recommend this business. read more

Had a 9am regular eye exam appointment and was out by 9:20. Awesome service. New technology as well. Very clean.

Wonderful, friendly and helpful service; a complete pleasure - even to someone who avoids going to the eye doctor :). Dr. Asano is highly personable and very insightful. read more

I called for an emergency appointment as soon as I noticed something felt wrong with my eye. The receptionist was extremely nice and they saw me that morning before I had to go to work. The office is clean and Dr Asano is very nice and knowledgable. She diagnosed my eye and gave me a prescription and I was in my way. I woke up the next day with excruciating pain and couldn't be anywhere near light. I called them again and explained and she said to come back in to double check it. She told me I came in at first detection and the infection had gotten worse despite using the antibiotic drops she prescribed. She gave me a numbing drop and prescribed a stronger eye ointment for at night but assured me it was not serious and I would be fine. I fully healed after a week and was very grateful for her attentiveness and care. I would come back here again for any eye issues. read more

Dr. Asano is super sweet, knowledgeable, and efficient. Her staff members are also very friendly and helpful. A couple of months back was my first time having to get glasses so being the indecisive person that I am I just couldn't make a decision; Dr. Asano and the receptionists assisted me with choosing a pair, which I get tons of compliments on! They aren't pushy, sale-sy (I'm well aware that isn't a real word), and give pretty good feedback. I'm literally on my way back there now to get a second pair. The boutique is very cute, clean, and they have lots of attractive options. read more

I don't write reviews often, but Dr. Asano and team definitely deserve one! When I realized I was running low on contacts, I contacted Dr. Asano's office and they let me know they can get me re-stocked right away! They even asked if I had an FSA account to cover the charges (which I actually forgot about!). 2 days later I had contacts in hand! Quick, Reliable, and Friendly! Will definitely be back for all my Optometry needs! Thank you Dr. Asano! read more

Dr. Asano and her staff are excellent! Recently, my prescription changed significantly in a short period of time. She explained the reason and provided me with a new prescription that not only improved my vision but decreased the incidence of my headaches. I purchased my glasses from her shop and had new lenses placed in other frames and am delighted with the quality. read more

This is honestly the best place to go for your eye needs and products. Dr. Asano is so patient and her staff is so knowledgeable and kind. I can't say enough good things about this place. If you're in need of glasses, contacts or eye care, look them up. You won't be disappointed. read more

Loved this place! The doctor was excellent at explaining my options, home care, and which of the features on new pairs of glasses are most important. The receptionist is also super knowledgeable on insurance questions. I have referred all my friends! read more

I had such an awesome experience from the moment I walked until the time I left. Eyes on Fulton is very personable, friendly and efficient. After not having my eyes examined for over 3 years I felt so comfortable and well informed about the condition of my eyesight. Dr. Asano was really great at making sure I understood each test and she also helped me pick frames too. Kelly was warm and friendly as well. Thanks so much, I truly recommend Eyes on Fulton to everyone. read more

AMAZing!!! Don't wait to set your appointment!!! Dr. Asano & Kelly are so friendly and welcoming. Kelly was wonderful setting my appointment and looking into insurance as well as working w my HSA. Dr. Asano was terrific!! I have been a lifetime eye-contact user and have never had a doctor explain everything so very well regarding my present and future vision health needs. The office is stunning, all the latest technology and No 'Air~Puff' test!! Hey and they have the latest in eye wear fashion.... although I have always used contacts I actually ordered glasses ... such a beautiful selection!! read more

I see that I'm the first to post a review here so I feel special. I'm a previous patient of Dr. Asano and am happy to have found her again at her new office. I've seen her for a few years and was sad when I found out she left where she was previously at. While this office isn't as close to work for me, I'm a creature of habit, didn't want to change optometrists, and luckily her office is right off the Morgan Green Line stop. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's close to The Aviary, Next, and Publican. Upon arriving, I was greeted right away and asked if I wanted coffee or water. Thought that was pretty nice. The office itself is super clean and modern-looking. As expected, Dr. Asano was really thorough and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be coming back for my next eye exam. read more

I saw Dr. Asano on a Saturday. Her office hours definitely work for someone with a busy M-F schedule. Dr. Asano was friendly and thorough during the eye exam. She helped me with contacts and fit me for glasses, and both products were ready in only a few days. Communication about picking up my contacts and glasses was great. Scheduling my appointment also was very easy. Dr. Asano's office manager Kelly contacted my insurance company in advance to confirm exactly what and how much my insurance covered for contacts and glasses. I recommend Dr. Asano's practice. read more

Love this place! If you drive, they have 1 parking spot right out front for their practice. Dr Asano and her staff are excellent. I get eye exams once a year for contacts. My prescription hasn't changed in years. She was able to do an exam with my toddler sitting on my lap and explained to me what was going on with my eyes in a manner that I could understand. Offered me a couple types of contacts and we discussed which ones would be best. Will be back next year or earlier for new glasses! read more

My experience at Eyes on Fulton was exciting for me from beginning to end. The space is eye catching & clean. The receptionist was very friendly which is important representing the face of a business. I was overdue for an eye exam & Dr. Kaori Asano made it a breeze answering all my questions & helped me pick out the eye frames that I loved. I was out in 30 minutes! My eye glasses were ready to be picked up the next day & I could not be more satisfied with them & the whole experience at Eyes on Fulton. read more

I love Dr. Asano! She is so knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain everything. In addition to my regular check ups, she has helped me with my horrible seasonal allergies as well as referring me to a great surgeon for my lasik surgery! Her office manager is also very nice and responsive! read more
