Eyewear & Opticians near Barrington

“I had never been here before. But I needed an appointment ASAP after my kitten scratched my eye accidentally. My phone call was answered on the first ring and they were able to see me immediately. (Not something I expected they’d be able to do!) The front desk, pretester, and doctor were all very friendly and helpful. My prescription was sent in and filled before I had even left the building. They were great with the small kids that were there at the same time as me, too. I would highly recommend!“

“Since I have been a patient since 1968 when it was just a small office on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago before Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Ostoich even became part of the practice I think speaks for itself. The whole staff is very pleasant to work with very accommodating makes you feel very comfortable my in-laws myself, and my children have all been patient there and I will continue to do so, I travel an hour plus to these appointments because I have complete faith and trust in them.“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and every time I’m reminded why I trust this place so much. The team is always kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.

Today, I brought in my own frame for new lenses, and Roy noticed the old glasses I was wearing. He gently asked if he could take a look — then, as a kind gesture, tightened them, replaced the nose pads with soft new silicone ones, and made them feel brand new. All within minutes, and completely for free.

He even apologized for the short wait — which made me smile, and i was thinking like, “Bro, you just performed a full glasses makeover while I blinked… no apology needed!

Roy and the team go above and beyond, and I’m truly thankful to have them.

First time client but now a long term client“

“I just visited this eyewear store on Saturday and with no real expectations i went to my appointment and left with a Wow experience. The whole crew from the front staff like Manny to the eye doctor they were inviting, pleasant and well knowledgeable. I bought my glasses and hope they come to me like i envisioned them lol...but seriously my experience was beyond and the 5's i put on this review. If you need new glasses or eye examination go to this place.“

“Dr. L and her team are welcoming, warm, amazing, thoughtful, and thorough! I just started going a few weeks ago post-trauma and have been getting lots of advice, explanations, therapy, and support. Sure the costs are mostly out of pocket, but in general insurance is a scam and the only real services you get something out of are mostly NOT covered! Highly recommend this team for any complex neuro ophthalmologist cases, you won't regret it! #supportsmallbusiness“

“Great front desk staff: knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Great doctor: listens, deep product knowledge, makes recommendations based on patient priorities and what's best for eye health. Great practice: conveneint location, adequate parking, family owned (none of that oversell big chain nonsense). I'm very happy with the service I received and would recommend this practice to everyone.“

“My experience was exceptional. The entire staff made me comfortable and happy with my choice to schedule an appointment there for new glasses. I felt like I was the most important customer in an upscale jewelry store. I am looking forward to my new glasses and would highly recommend this location to everyone. Janice Hughes“

“Dr Sofia Syed is the BEST optometrist I have ever seen. Alyssa was so helpful picking out glasses. The staff is friendly and pleasant.“

“Really impressive vision center. Far exceeded my expectations and so much better than the other chain options or private local offices. Dr. Singh and his staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and they spent a ton of time with me. I easily got a same day appointment. You can’t beat the prices and they accept almost all insurance. Highly highly recommend.“

“TAMARA is amazing!!! I came to the office for my daughter's appointment and for personal reasons was nervous about the experience. Tamara went above and beyond to show empathy and kindness to me and my daughter. Ultimately, my daughter needed her first pair of classes. Tamara helped us through the process and showed us glasses that we love. She explained what shape would look best, encouraged taking photos to help make our choice, and she was 100% accurate!!! My daughter found a perfect pair that complimented her features!!! Dr Patel was also very kind, patient and knowledgeable and her assistant, Debbie, was extremely kind and made us all feel comfortable!! Because of Dr Patel, Debbie and Tamara, we will return! UPDATE: I returned for my own exam and Dr Patel, again was great!!! Debbie was awesome and the entire experience was very pleasant!!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for many years. I’d like to call out Mick for being so amazing and patient with me. I came in with a completely busted up pair of glasses and begged him to fix them. He tried for so long, and tried many different things. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to fix them, but he was so patient and determined to help me! He’s like this every time we go in! Thank you, Nick!“

“Great, generous and very well mannered. The front receptionists always have a smile on their face and give great and respectable service“

Certainly professional and technical skills like Dr. Bartek possesses in her friendly manner and thorough exams are important as are the office staff that customer-focused. I would not hesitate to recommend Image Optics to anyone looking for great eye care.“
