Most recently, I had an I-need-my-contacts-refilled-now kinda emergency. I called Carol around 530 on a Tuesday evening and my contacts were waiting for me on Wednesday when I got off work. Unimpressed? Well my eyeballs were apparently manufactured by gypsies with the help of Stevie Wonder and some side consultation by Ray Charles, so my eyesight is not average. I always have to have custom lenses and always have to wait days or weeks to get them. I can't simply waltz into an eye care place and scoop up a few pairs, know what I mean? I don't know what voodoo magic Carol called on, but getting my custom lenses the next day is unheard of in my experience...and much appreciated. So thanks to her and her staff I'm able to see crystal clear enough to pen this here review. Thank you and you're welcome.

What type of lenses are covered? Should I get prescription sunglasses or regular eyeglasses? These are the type of questions that I asked and Patty from Illinois Eye Care Center was super helpful in helping me through the process. She was patient and helped me understand what insurance covered and my out-of-pocket expense. She even helped me pick out the right frames to go with my complexion. Stylish frames and excellent customer service are the two reasons why I will continue to go back to Illinois Eye Care Center.

I was able to get a same day appointment when I called, which was surprising but very much appreciated. I saw Dr Bartek. She was great! Very personable, listened to everything I mentioned. She also was very informative. When it came time to look at frames, the woman who helped me got many options for me to try. She gave me her honest opinion on which looked best. Pricing for glasses, contacts and the exam was broken down and explained in detail. I had an awesome experience from start to finish.

The staff was professional from the moment I walked in to the end of the visit. I was promptly greeted with a smile, given easy forms to sign, and seen by Dr. Roshnee Patel within ten minutes. The store is very clean, dust free, and sanitizer is readily available throughout. Dr. Patel was very warm, welcoming and so down to earth. Just from her warm smile greeting, Dr. Patel immediately made me feel comfortable. She took her time with the exam, explaining things as she went. She answered my questions and concerns with care. She eased my mind. She never rushed me through the exam. More importantly, the exam went well and I was confident that I (finally) received an accurate lens prescription. Via lens scan, she confirmed my suspicion that one of the lenses in my existing-old prescription from a different chain wasn't accurate. Her staff helped me select new frames based on what style I liked. Then, I was encouraged to browse on my own without the hovering nor upsell pressure. I found a great pair of frames in a style I hadn't considered before. There are many designer frames here: Versace, Michael Kors, etc. Later, I saw that the frames sold here are current designs and sold very close to retail price. The frames that I chose were just five dollars more than the manufacturer's website. If I could change anything, I would suggest that the thermostat be adjusted as needed. It was an unseasonally warm day, and it was very warm inside the building. Overall, this was my first time ever using Pearl Vision and Dr. Patel and her staff left a great impression. They've restored my faith in physicians and I will make this my permanent place for glasses.

I was specific in expressing that I needed the prescription to mirror the glasses I came in with. With the shutdown, I had to pursue them to mail the glasses to me. The prescription was not right in both pairs of glasses, but due to the shutdown I was not able to get back to the location until they opened for business in late May. Because scheduling, it was June before they saw me again. The Dr checked my eyes and they redid both pairs. I had to pay for a better quality of lens too. I picked up the glasses in July. Well, these glasses are not any different, they do not look or feel different and do not match the prescription I have in my current frames. I did give each pair a try for a bit and again, and with life under Covid, I reached out again in September to let them know there are not working for me. The manager, who gave me the name of Linda told me that she would look into what could be done. I received a voice mail back, and each time I call, their line goes to a general voice mail box. "Linda" does not even have her own voice mail. I called 5 times and also left messages. NO CALL BACK. This is a newer location, but I would advise to stir clear. They are not customer oriented what so ever and on top of this, with insurance, I feel I was still taken advantage of.

The inside was very clean and actually had a lot of good glasses selections under well known brand names. I didn't wait long to go back for pretesting and to be seen by the doctor. Dr. Rathmann did a wonderful job explaining my prescription needs in an understandable manner. She was extremely personable and made me feel very comfortable. I felt like she went above and beyond to ensure I knew how to get my best prescription outcome. After my appt came the sales pitch. I understand that with the service will come the explanation of benefits but I felt as stern as I was on what I wanted to purchase that day, the person helping me kept pushing on additional items and "deals". If the manager had listened a bit more to me as a customer, I would have left giving this a 5 star review.

He insisted that I find him an opthalmologist and schedule an appointment. Thanks to Yelp's directory, I was able to find Dr. John Marchon in our area. When I called his office at 10a this morning, Maryann answered the phone. She is extremely pleasant and articulate. I told her about my dad. She apologized for the ophthalmologist being out of the office. Maryann assured me she would speak with him and call me back with his recommendation as soon as possible. Within an hour, I was on the phone with her with instructions from Dr. Marchon. My dad went to the ER at St. Alexius Brothers. The ER Physician was able to diagnose and treat the eye injury. My dad is home without needing to make a follow up appointment with the referring ophthalmologist. Everyone in my family and relatives all stereotypically wear glasses, have had Lasik surgery or use contacts. We're getting up there in age for risk of eye disease. St. Alexius Brothers Hospital is in close proximity to most of us. If any of us ever needs to see an ophthalmologist, Maryann is the person I'm going to say to call first.
