I originally came in just to repair my old glasses, and within less than minutes -- they were perfectly restored. What I thought would be a quick stop turned into something much more special. As I looked around, I found a frame that felt as though it had been waiting just for me -- the perfect match. To my delight, I left that very same evening with a beautiful new pair of glasses and lenses. The entire experience was truly exceptional. The reviews were not lying! After visiting so many other stores where I left empty handed and enduring a poor service, I can confidently say this was the best experience ever. Thank you!

They instantly gave me the runaround, claiming they couldn't put lenses in the frame because it didn't have a screw. I went to BIG OPTICAL OAKPARK afterward, and they easily popped out the lenses and put them back in, taking care of my needs with ease. I was very happy to give them my business. They also have such a wide variety of cool frames that are out of this world. This will be my favorite store from now on. After being a customer at My Eye Dr. for so many years, I will not be returning. How can you be an eyewear professional and have no idea what you're talking about, making excuses about a metal frame, etc.

I had an appointment a few weeks ago. One thing that aggravates me is when I have a scheduled…read moreappointment and the provider runs late/runs over and no one says anything. After 15 minutes, a young lady walked up to the front and said to come to the back to start the pre-exam, whatever that was. I asked how long would I have to wait for the actual exam and she said about 15-20 minutes. I said, "No, thank you, I'll have to reschedule". I rescheduled for March 11th, but after reading the reviews, I think I'll cancel altogether. What's interesting is someone from their staff is reading and responding to these reviews, but no attempts are being made to rectify the issues, as they keep getting poor reviews. I hate this because this was a neighborhood retailer I wanted to support. Two stars because they have a nice selection of frames.

I've been a Kirk patient since I was a kid-- my dad has been a patient of theirs for even longer. I…read morehad moved away, but have returned to help my parents. 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.

He is the only optometrist she wants to see; it is unfortunate that his office in Palos closed, so we now travel to River Forest. When you wear glasses every waking hour, you learn what fit and style works best for you.

Highly recommend this doctor and his staff.
