He proceeded with the exam and I explained that my reading vision had gotten worse. He spent just a minute or 2 on the distance exam then flipped over to the near vision exam, which consisted of having to say which type of 12 intersecting lines were darker, the vertical or horizontal. There was no explanation and in all my eye exams throughout my life I don't recall ever doing this one. It was honestly hard to tell, they mostly all looked the same to me, but I did my best to answer. Well I must have been giving the "wrong" answer because Dr Tan actually started getting irritated at me and repeated my answer back at me basically yelling at me. I wish I had ended the exam right at that moment, called him out on this insanely unprofessional behavior and walked out but I was so taken aback I didn't know what to say. I did say "do you not believe me?" which tells you how crazy the interaction was. The exam ended and he proceeded to talk in circles about my prescription, and of course warn me that my prescription is so terrible that I should not order glasses online. I think I will go somewhere else from now on where the doctor doesn't yell at the patients.

Sadly I've gone so long I have…read morethe eye charts memorized (yes, it's a hidden talent) so my exams go like this "I know it's a B, but if I pretend I didn't I would say it looks like an O." I started coming to him when I was 6 because I had a bit of wandering eye. Dr. Ireland believes in ocular therapy so I went twice a week for something like a year, needless to say my eye no longer wanders (yay!). Somewhere along the way he also started treating my vision too and I've never had any complaints; he's always very thorough. I wear hard contacts and when I had trouble with the lenses fitting properly he sent at least 3 pairs back and didn't charge me until everything was right. My parents even started going to him too somewhere along the way. The only negative is actually in many ways a positive. Dr. Ireland always runs behind schedule (at a Dr.'s office? Shocking!). The reason he's usually late is that he gets to know his patients and gets chatty. My appointments usually take forever because he's seen me grow up so we have a lot to talk about. He also teaches at the Illinois College of Optometry. Bottom line, it's important to treat you and your eyes right and believe me he will.

I opted for standard lenses. With these standard lens I did not need laser surgery to adjust the quality of my vision. I had some luck that I achieved this quality of restored vision. I add that Dr. Scott Kirk provided Radial Keratotomy in the summer of 1996. Although this is an dated surgery, anyone with a past RK should consider cataract surgery at the Kirk Eye Center because they provide light adjustable lenses for patients who seek greater likely outcome for seeing 2020 and that LASIK is not recommended for patients with past RK experience. Also, since I have had decades of eye care at K.E.C. River Forest, IL, I am certain that I'll continue to have great health care at their facility, here, I am met with a well organized staff capable of delivering care.

I always thought of them as completely trustworthy, but recently they performed magic for me. TLDR: Hiral Patel gave me the best prescription I've had in almost two decades and Viviana Cano eased my anxiety over switching back to contact lenses after almost three decades of wearing only glasses. Now, all the extra details. Last year, my vision was so bad that I applied for blind disability. My mom and dad insisted that I come home and go to Kirk for a definitive evaluation. Five hours into the appointment, my future was bleak. The final recommendation, a week later, was surgery. My parents were totally ready and willing to pay for it, but I hate spending their money and put it off put if off put it off. I'm going to skip the specifics on the stuff about the bad diabetic protocol prescribed by my primary and how I ginned up the courage to change my own insulin dosage and how that probably saved my life and jump right to the day when a friend told me that her eyes didn't track together and she didn't see in stereo but wearing hard lenses gave her real vision for several hours a day. I immediately thought "let's get me over to Kirk and ask them about this." I was almost too shy to make the appointment, but the possibility of being able to drive again was too seductive. I called and set the time. I got there an hour early. David and I sat in the parking lot eating precut watermelon from Jewel (same plaza.) I was nervous. Doctor Patel strutted to the lobby to grab me for my examination and I was immediately filled with confidence. Anyone with that much personal security must be great at their job. I was not disappointed. "I want this to work," I offered. She smiled quickly and told me "remember to blink." I'm drowning you in minutiae. Let me bring this to a 10/10 conclusion: my vision is now corrected to 20/20 (I can read a sign from three blocks away!) and the lenses correct my astigmatism and keep my eyes in line. Now: Viviana. When I asked her to take a selfie that she liked (for me to use in this review,) she is so humble that she didn't immediately understand that it was to praise and appreciate her. She's extremely deserving of both. I came in two days after my miracle exam, not sure if I had successfully removed the acuvue daily lens from my right eye. She took a peek and confirmed that it was out, and placed an order for some more trial lenses so that I could make sure it was the right fit for me. I came in again today with both lenses still in and significant anxiety over that fact. Today, Viviana removed the lenses and gave me a comforting tutorial that I think might help (and then listened patiently and socially awkward me gave her an unsolicited lesson on trafficking of vulnerable groups in rural areas that flowed from my rant against Loyola facepalm.

Warning: This store is a disaster, and the management takes no responsibility for their mistakes. I needed a new contact and glasses prescription and went in to do an exam. The assistant manager had to take my credit card number down in a book because their system was down. When I called and went in a week later, my credit card number still had not been charged and was being kept in that book. I was upset about the lack of security and brushed off. Plus, the doctor ended up giving me an incorrect prescription by over a point in each eye. When I went to return the useless contacts and get a refund, the manager informed me that the company doesn't offer refunds for services rendered. I received nothing I can use from that visit that I paid out of pocket for, so I continued to ask for a refund. I have also called the help line multiple times for weeks with no response for my troubles. I would strongly recommend avoiding this business for lack of transparency, probable incompetence and a lack of professionalism. read more

Go straight to For Eyes Optical in Oak Park, IL for new glasses. Best in the area by far. My experience: 1 Called for an exam appointment and I was seen that evening! 2 I asked the cost of the eye examination and I was given the price immediately. 3 My exam (by the very experienced and excellent Dr. Ross) was very thorough. Dr. Ross listened to and answered questions about what I needed in new bifocal and work glasses, and refracted me for both. 4 For Eyes has a selection of frames gives everyone a nice choice. Nicely priced, too. I selected gorgeous designer frames for what I could afford. So happy. 5 For Eyes opticians are VERY good at what they do here; they helped me select two beautiful designer frames that I absolutely love. I picked up both pairs within days of my appointment, and I am thrilled with them both. I highly recommend For Eyes Optical in Oak Park, IL for everyone needing a great eye exam and beautiful glasses you will love. read more

Between my contacts order being cancelled, my former doctors retiring, and no other Oak Park optometrist being able to fit me in on short notice, I was in a full-on panic. I was leaving the next day (to get married, no less) and finally tried For Eyes on a recommendation from a co-worker. Thank god I did! The staff was able to get me in immediately the next morning and were kind and helpful. Dr. Farooqi was marvelous - very efficient, sweet, and knowledgeable. She whizzed through the exam, answered all my questions, was able to find a replacement pair of contacts close to my prescription. THAT is a great doctor providing excellent service - even to a fairly stressed bride. Probably the best part was that I was paying out of pocket, and my cost was MUCH less than the last optometrist I saw. I'll definitely be returning for my follow-up appointments and to get new glasses. Marvelous Dr, very accommodating and kind staff. Couldn't be better. read more

My family and I have been shopping with For Eyes for about 5 years for our optical needs, and it's ALWAYS a true pleasure when we're there. The staff is very knowledgeable of their prices, warranties, and insurance policy practices, so you never have to feel cheated. The store Mgr. Mr Manish Sharpe, and Mr Edgar Flores, work very hard to get you the best deals, save you money, AND to make you look good. Having recently met Dr Cohen, I was very pleased with how she made my son feel at ease in her chair. She was cheerful, and has a bubbly personality. The store is very well stocked with inventory, but on the half-chance they do have to order something for you, you can definitely expect to get it back in a timely fashion. So you have knowledgeable, dependable, affordable, and a courteous staff. What more could you ask for? That's why we keep coming back. read more

Today was one of those days where I walk into the store already rehearsing my "I'm just looking" response to the predictable "Hello, welcome, can I help you find anything specific today?" Greeting. Today was one of those days until Rosie in front front greeted me AND dropped what she was doing to show me around and get me situated until it was time for my exam. The Doctor was very knowledgeable and patient as I made sure I found the sharpest prescription possible. She aldo sent me off with tips for protecting my eyes in my harsh working environment. When it was time to pick frames, I recieved many compliments from the clerk on styles that she had me model for her before deciding. She wanted to make sure I looked right lol. Thanks For Eyes for the unpredictable experience. read more
