Dr. Kohn is the best!! He's very friendly, kind, and easy to talk to, but he's also very thorough. You can tell he actually cares about your health and he will patiently answer all your questions and make sure you understand everything. After trying my new contact prescription, something felt a little off. I called the office and he was extremely helpful and understanding. He offered for me to come back and recheck my prescription. He made sure everything was perfect and comfortable. I've gone to so many eye doctors in the past 25 years and Dr. Kohn is by far the best one I've ever had. He's just a doctor who cares- which I feel is rare these days. I won't hesitate to bring my kids and husband when they need their eye exam. Everyone in the office is extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. Sometimes unkind office staff kind of ruin your experience, but that will not happen here. There's just an overall culture of being kind and taking good care of patients throughout the office. I'm so glad I took the chance to try Wilmette eye care, because I'm so happy here! read more

What can I say about Dr Kohn, he is simply THE BEST!!. What Doctor goes out of his way on a weekend no less than to see how you are doing post cataract surgery. Dr Kohn continually gives the best no BS explanation on your eyesight. He is so personable, and friendly. He goes over the health of your eye in great detail and lets you know how things are. I cannot say enough about him, he is the best. read more

Really cute place. The only disappointment is finding out as I was checking in that they don't take my insurance. I had filled in my insurance info before my appointment so it would have been nice to know in advance, I would have picked another optometrist that worked with my insurance. Be sure to check in advance. read more

Beautiful frame choices and great staff. I needed a repair on my glasses right before a cross country move out of state. Shiny called me the minute replacement lenses were in store. I was ready to hit the road with new lenses! TY Shiny! read more

Wow! I can't tell you how amazing Dr. Kohn and his staff were to work with when my 3 year old son needed an eye exam for preschool. My son was having a lot of "big feelings" that day, and Dr. Kohn was incredibly patient, and did a remarkable job of making him feel comfortable. Aside from just clearly being a good person, Dr. Kohn was thorough and knowledgeable. The office space was also very nice and clean. Will definitely return for any optometry needs in the future for my family! read more

Dr. K is the best! Great team & facility too. Even though my vision insurance changed, I'll pay out of pocket to go there.

We stopped into Wilmette Eye care in search of some glasses for my husband. They had a nice selection but not the size/style we were looking for. Sarah was super helpful, offering to order some glasses in for him to try and also called around to see if other shops in the area had what we were looking for. Incredible customer service. Thanks Sarah for all your help and guidance! read more

Dr Andrew Kohn is the best optometrist on the planet. His bedside manner is outstanding. He uses his expertise and the most sophisticated technology available to make certain your prescription is perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Beautiful office with friendly staff. Everyone is wearing masks and surfaces are disinfected. The glasses selection has a great mix of classic and edgy looks. Dr. Kohn took the time to answer my questions thoroughly in an engaging way, explaining the anatomy of the eye. He had multiple tools to explain eye health, ranging from medical models to showing a "tour" of the inside of my eye on the computer which was actually really cool! And no horrible air puff test, thank goodness. You can tell that this office uses cutting edge tools for accuracy and also patient comfort. The opticians are very helpful in selecting glasses that look attractive to your face shape and eye color. After you put on a pair, they are put in a UV sanitizer. I also saw staff periodically going through the glasses display and washing each one in between patients and customers coming in. read more

Wilmette Eye Care - Optometrists Near Me - Wilmette, Illinois

Dr. Kohn is amazing. He took his time and answered all my questions and concerns which my last doctor did not do. I left his office nearly in tears that I finally found a doctor that actually cares for his patients. He even called in a referral for me. I really appreciate his professionalism and kindness. read more

What an awesome place. Top to bottom amazing experiences taking my kids here and I now go here. In a world that now seems too busy and many businesses lacking in service its so great to have a go-to eyecare place with such wonderful people! Highly highly recommend. read more

This was my first visit to this office. I have been a patient of Dr Kohn for several year and decided to make the trek to Wilmette from the city. The office staff is extremely professional and personal and have the interest of the patient in mind. they are able to identify my needs and offer suggestions and perspective to my eyes specifically. I will continue to go out of my way to visit this office and Dr Kohn again. They were even able to identify a benefit through my insurance that saved me the cost of a years worth of contacts. Truly act with the patient in mind. read more

My kids pediatric ophthalmologist recommended this practice 4 years ago when my teen wanted contact lenses. We all needed exams and glasses. We saw Dr Kohn. We have never looked back. Our vision insurance is not the best -they are not in network anymore but Great care is worth it. Shiny does a great job with frame fitting too. I happen to be a wheelchair user and The staff is very accommodating to that need as well. read more

Update: All of these 5 star reviews are so legit. Several weeks ago, I woke up with some of the worst pain of my life...in my eye. Fiddlesticks. I emailed Wilmette Eye Care, and Dr. Kohn got back to me right away, and then came in early to make sure I was seen that day and again the next day. He ended up sending me to a specialist to make sure I was getting the absolute best treatment for my specific (and very rare) corneal issue, and even called said specialist to make sure they would be ready to see me when I got there. I can't tell you how much I appreciate him going above and beyond to treat me, and his patience and kindness in the process. I'm not saying I cried like a small child, but I'm also not saying I didn't. Bonus: He gave me an eye patch, so Halloween is now taken care of this year. Seriously though, I'm so impressed with Wilmette Eye Care. I'll be a patient as long as I live in the Chicago area. Your eyes are important; take good care of them. You don't know how necessary it is to have a great doctor until you have an issue and need to be seen immediately by someone who knows their stuff. My corneal defect was a rarity, and a less competent doctor might have missed it and misdiagnosed me, which could have led to serious corneal scarring that impacted my vision. Because Dr. Kohn is the best, he caught it quickly and got me the care I needed. I am so grateful. read more

What a great practice! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Dr. Wawrzak was so knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions. I recently had PRK surgery done in the city and Wilmette Eye Care was the practice they raved about for my follow-up appointments. They are now the eye doctors for my whole family. read more

Having gone to the typical eye care businesses such as America's Best/Lense Crafters for the past decade, it was wonderful to finally find an optometry practice that isn't basically an overpriced clinic. The space/waiting area is very clean , modern, and smells great like you're at a spa! I was pleasantly greeted by Nick at the front desk and shortly after by Dr. Kohn. I was seen immediately ( even with being a little late for my appointment). The equipment itself was very futuristic but non intrusive, no puff in my eye this time! Dr. Kohn has a great bed side manner, answered any questions and addressed my vision issues. I brought in a pair of old TOMS frames I had for a while that the "legs" of the frames were so stretched out they just would fall off as soon as I looked down , I knew it was very likely they were beyond repair. And was also forewarned the same before I handed them over to Nick so he could give it a shot. While I was having my exam with Dr. Kohn, Nick worked his magic and the frames were returned to me looking brand new! (I honestly regret not taking a before and after picture of the frames, it was such a difference.) For affordable self pay and the excellent service this practice provides, the drive from Chicago to Wilmette was worth it! And will continue to be because Dr. Kohn now has a new patient! P.S. As I was leaving, the cutest English Bulldog, named Oliver (who I petted a lot) passed by and came in side and Dr. Kohn just happens to keep dog treats in office for the fur babies. ( I regret not taking a picture of Oliver too lol) read more

A doc so good I followed him from the city. Worth the trip - wonderful staff and the same great care I've come to expect continued. Thanks, Dr. Kohn! read more

In my many years of receiving eye care, Dr. Andrew Kohn far surpasses all former experiences and my own expectations with his intellect, professionalism, and care. His state-of-the-art and modern facility is equipped with the latest and sleek technology - offering an unparalleled and transparent look into my optical health. The eyewear boutique offers a variety of high-end products from which to choose, and the opticians made my eyeglasses purchase seamless and quick through their expert guidance and knowledge. I also wear contacts and was given far superior, comfortable and appropriate ones to aid in comfort and visibility, thanks to the doctor's expert recommendation. The entire process - from start to finish - was speedy, thorough, and extremely organized. Dr. Kohn's office is the place to serve all of your optical care needs. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Kohn when he was at Red Eye in Bucktown. I like him so much that I now travel 40 minutes to Wilmette just to see him, and it's totally worth it. It's obvious that he loves what he does, as he's always willing to nerd out about anything you ask him with regards to eye care. He'll give you all the information in the world about any sort of ailment or procedure, go over all the possible options, and make sure you are 100% informed about anything you ask. read more

I rarely write a review for anything these days because it takes time I don't usually feel I have the excuse to give, but Wilmette Eye Care is worth the extra couple minutes. The interior space is refreshingly non-clinical feeling, as is the service. Dr. Kohn, Nick, and the other administrator whose name I didn't catch are all super nice and helpful. Dr. Kohn is smart, explains things very well, and is funny and extremely personable. You can tell he enjoys his work and enjoys talking to patients about our eyes. It seems funny to write that out, but it's true. Billing and insurance process was also a breeze. Wilmette has lucked out with this practice! read more

I'm a new patient of Dr. Kohn's. I usually don't write reviews but I just wanted to say that I tried Wilmette Eye Care because of the five star reviews. You can believe them all. Dr Kohn spent a lot of time with me explaining everything about the condition of my eyes (which is mostly positive!). I never felt rushed. The staff are also very friendly and professional. They helped fix my glasses and followed up with insurance to save me money. I'm so happy I found this place. If you're looking for excellent eyecare, go here! read more

My three year old daughter was initially very scared, but Dr Kohn was awesome with her, and it ended up being a very positive experience at Wilmette Eye Care! read more

Dr. Kohn, Sarah and Nick were very professional, friendly, patient and caring. Great safety protocols in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. I am a fellow healthcare clinician and I've been to a lot of optometrist and ophthalmologist offices in the past, but this was by far both the kindest and most scientific. Great listening and treating my needs rather than trying to fit me into their needs. Highly recommended. read more

Highly competent and friendly staff. Great selection of frames. Sarah has a great eye and will plenty of time helping you pick your frames.

Dr was so helpful and able to get me in quickly for exam. Great follow up and expertise!

Exceptional eye care. I'd been visiting optometrists for several months looking for particular frames. Naturally, I gained a sense about how they treated patients in the process. After much searching for the right place, I found Wilmette Eye Care! Dr. Kohn and his office staff were excellent on every detail. Friendly, helpful, responsive, caring, efficient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, etc. only begin to describe the treatment I received. Nick, who works in the front with frame selection, was super helpful on both of the visits I made. Plus, I also saw them being excellent to a harried mom with two toddlers and stroller juggling her many responsibilities while I browsed their unique frame selection. Dr. Kohn was very kind and respectful of my time and was careful to keep me informed of everything he was checking during the exam. Unlike other optometrists, they didn't try to upsell procedures or new tests. Not pushy at all. They even offered a recommendation of a local competitor who might have what I was looking for. How cool is that? I almost wish my family members would also need glasses so they could experience the great service at Wilmette Eye Care. read more

Thank you! Oh and reader you will thank me after reading this. Moved to Skokie and was looking for a new Dr. I wanted someone with modern equipment and whom would explain proper eyecare with me. I've been searching for four years for an office I could trust and a Doctor I could establish long term care with. this place delivered. I scheduled my appointment online. Arrived early and they took me early Super Sleek modern decor and there is COFFEE while you wait if needed. Modern new equipment Now thats just about facility and booking. I cannot tell you how impressed I am... No actually I can. I found my new Chicagoland Dr! I'm insisting everyone I know in the area go see this man. Even if you have to commute he is so worth it! I felt like I was sitting down with a kid from my old neighborhood back East that I went to grade school with. Dr Kohn is super wicked smart but is the type of person that makes you feel like you are on his level. However you are not because you know you didn't go to med school to have the O.D. after your name. He really takes time to get to know you the patient and I appreciate that because you don't find that in medical care today too often. We are so lucky to have him in the Northshore. I can't remember the other staff members name right now. However I have to add he's so amazing. I had worst time situating myself for some of the testing and he was beyond wonderful helping me. Plus I was so confused on my insurance. He was able to help figure it all out. If you have children I think this is the place for you. Handling me with anxiety is actually worst than handling a screaming 2yo and this man nailed it unknowingly. I promise you go once and you'll be like me. I don't ever want to talk about Lasik....I want to keep seeing my Dr and remain the geeky awkward girl with crazy contact colors and funky glasses. Did I mention I'm a little awkward and have TERRIBLE anxiety? Yet the staff here totally put me at ease. So yeah all are welcome here. Totally inclusive environment. I am so happy I can get quality eyecare. You can to if you just go click a few buttons to schedule that first appointment. read more

Big fan of the practice. +1 I was able to schedule an eye exam for the same weekend and got text reminders of my appointment. +1 The practice is clean and sleek +1 Equipment/tech is fairly new and updated +1 The receptionist is friendly +1 The optometrist is informative and funny I only needed a basic check-up for today, but will definitely get contacts here next year once I run out. Highly recommended! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I had an eye emergency recently. I had never been to Wilmette Eye care before. But took a stab at google and they came up. The receptionist was so polite and professional. She made sure I could get in that day in a timely manner. I met with Dr. Andrew Kohn and he immediately put me at ease. He assessed my situation very thoroughly. I left much better than I went in. If that wasn't enough to win me over, they followed up with phone calls to make sure I was ok. In a time where customer/patient service can be lacking it was so refreshing to be treated so well. I had moved to the area a few years prior and had not found an eye doctor that I preferred, until now. Thanks Wilmette Eye care for your kindness and professionalism. read more

My 10yr old son and I went to Dr Kohn for an eye checkup. My son had a wonderful time. He was asking all kind of fun eye-related questions and Dr Kohn went above and beyond, using all the wonderful equipment he has to illustrate the answers. This is one of the moments that can inspire young minds to the field of science. That alone is worth every penny. On top of that, Dr Kohn has a special machine that imagines the inside of the eye. I come out feeling good about our eyes and totally entertained. Oh btw, the glassese are very fashionable. I got very good fit for my glasses. read more

Having gone to my fair share of eye doctors, I was happy to see that Wilmette Eye Care wasn't another chain store, but a welcoming office that had a homey atmosphere where it seemed like customer service was a top priority. Upon entering, I was greeted by both Dr. Kohn and a receptionist, and handed an iPad to fill out my information. Afterwards we went into the back for my appointment, and I must say, I was very impressed with all the technology that they had. While I was undergoing my exam, Dr. Kohn was very thorough in his examination and explained things very clearly. After my exam, I was looking at the wall of eyeglasses they had, and for once, I did not feel pressured like other shops i've been to to buy high-end premium frames (or anything at all). Dr. Kohn was very accommodating and helped me find the right pair of frames for my larger head, and made the whole process painless. I normally don't write reviews, but the exceptional customer service sold me on this place, and I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Really fresh, amazing new eye-care establishment. The staff was extremely nice and knowledgeable; Dr. Kohn did an excellent job of conducting my eye exam and walking me through the results. The frames selection was very unique, supporting local and also companies that donate glasses which I thought was great. I loved nearly every pair I tried on! Highly recommend! read more

We are new patients to Wilmette Eye Care and were impressed not only with their selection of frames but also with the friendliness of the office personnel. Kudos especially to Nick who not only sent my daughter's glasses to campus but then went above and beyond the call of duty to track them down when UPS delivered them to the wrong location. He did this despite that it was after hours and during a holiday weekend. We are grateful for his help and happy that my daughter can see again. Thank you, Nick! read more

The client comes first here! Such attention to detail, making you feel so confident with updates procedures, especially with the impacts of COVID. Overall a great atmosphere and a place I will continue to refer friends/family. Thank you! read more

Amazing service, very likable folks and first-class products and eye exam. Highly recommended.

Dr. Kohn and his staff are AMAZING! Dr. Kohn did an exam for my 6-year-old son and myself. He is extremely professional, kind, and ensures that his patients are comfortable along with informed. Dr. Kohn made my son's first experience comfortable and fun while providing answers for ALL of my son's questions about the cool machines and tools he uses. My son was all smiles:) As for my exam, I appreciate Dr. Kohn's professional expertise and care he provided to ensure I understood every aspect on the health of my eyes. Sarah was the office staff who assisted me with my paperwork and helped me find ADORABLE new frame (my everyday frame and sunglasses). She was delightful to work with. I can't wait for my new frames to come in. Also, not only is the professional care on point, the office space itself refreshing, modern, and filled with high-tech equipment. I can't recommend Dr. Kohn and his practice enough- the area is lucky to have such a wonderful doctor and practice. read more

Always easy to get an appointment. Staff make you feel comfortable despite the difficult pandemic environment. Excellent with kids and respectful of parents wishes. You feel welcomed, are made comfortable ....its just easy and stress free. They have a decent selection of glasses, not overwhelming. We have needed to go back and have glasses adjusted several times - never an issue. read more

Dr Kohn and team are terrific. I never looked forward to visiting an optometrist because the process of looking through the lens for a shifting balloon etc with eyes wide open without blinking was never easy and fun. Dr Kohn's patient-friendly approach combined with his latest equipment and tech-savviness made it all easy. Thank you for coming to Wilmette. read more

My son had a great experience at Wilmette Eye Care. The Doctor and staff were very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend

just took our little guy here to get an exam for Kindergarten. great, easy experience, and super conveniently located!
