“This review is so long overdue mainly because I had to make sure I used every correct adverb, and adjective to describe my exprience at Krates Eye Center. To begin with I had a very rushed initial cataract removal from another eye surgeon. I want to name him, but I feel that is vindictive and I want to remain neutral. After that surgery, because I was severly myoptic(which I was not really aware of) I suffered from "unabalanced vision" which was absolutely horrible. I did have another cataract in the other eye, but this surgeon NEVER MENTION that this could be a problem until after I had the iniital cataract eye done. I had complications with the cataract removal, and I also had severe visual disturbances in the opposite eye. I had to dig into information and "advise my doctor" of what was happening. Needless to say we ended this on a not to good note. Especially, since he was leaving that practice in two weeks and I had to get another surgeon to perform cataract surgery on the remaining eye. I was so apprehensive, and just down right scared. I started this journey to find "the best of the best" to do this second eye, because I felt I had suffered needless and was at a complete loss. Hence, upon my reading I found a recommendation in the "Next door neighbor app" that was recommending eye surgeons. I happened to read a recommendation about Krates eye center. I took note of this and another place to consider for recommendation. I then preceeded to make the appointments. It took about five months to get an appointment with three physicians that I needed to interview. It was my appointment with Dr. Krates, that had my was "gut" shouting "this is the guy, he is confident, reassuring but not overly cocky about his ability. However, to make sure that the outcome (with the severe bllurriness and vision being unbalanced), did not result in another issue he referred me to a Retina Specialist. This was the best call he could make. He saw something in my history, and from speaking with me, that caused him to refer me out BEFORE any surgery to be considered. I went, and once again referred to another specialist at Univ Of Illinois. He advised mr to proceeded without further hesitation yet and cleared me to get the second surgery. Dr. Krates, was just simply magnificient. He knew there was possible a cogential issue and knew that this had to be addressed before he proceeded. Once the second surgery was schedule and he ran into an issue about stunting, at the time of surgery, he gently spoke to me and advised that this would not be the best thing to do because of the condition of my eye. I understood. After the surgery he apologized, and explanied to me again, why he just could not do that proceure since it might have cause my vision and recovey period would be a lot longer and the results may not be optimal. I cried and thanked God for his foresight. He was absolutely correct in his assestment. I found this out when I saw the specialist who had to diagnose my issue, which was a genetic disorder. Dr. Krates, saw something, did something and for that I am grateful that I followed my "gut" and selected this physician and his wonderful practice to give me the best vision that could have occurred. Thank you Dr. Krates and his Beautiful Staff for being just who you are. If anyone can read this long, long review.. Rest assure it took me six months to do this. This practice is the real deal... NO BS.. NO OVERSELLING PATIENTS, JUST PLAIN HONEST TRUTH WITH EXCELLENT SURGICAL RESULTS.PS.. They also send their patients an unexpected plant of lovely flowers the day after surgery. I was blown away!!! Thank You Dr. Krates/Staff in Palos and Orland Park.. As Tina Turner would scream "You're simple the best"“

“Please take my money!I am extremely pleased with Lunettes Family Eyecare and Optical Boutique. I have been to a lot of optometrist on the southside of Chicago and all I found was extremely poor or outright awful service! Then I found Lunettes! When you go into Lunettes you are greeted by Leeanne. Leeanne is so awesome! From the time I started going to Lunettes, Leeanne was just full of smiles and years of experience. To date the service that she provides is impeccable. She knows everything about her job and she knows how to get what she wants so she can provide the customer with exactly what they want. I have more than one insurance available and she easily uses every benefit available to me. Nicole, is a little newer but she has worked with Leanne in the past and it shows. Nicole is extremely nice and extremely helpful when Leeanne is not holding down the fort. She is a perfect teammate. Dr. Lange was initially quiet but that has changed. She is always asking about the family and how things are on the daily. Dr. Lange is genuinely interested in how her patients are doing and has a pleasant chair side manner. She is genuinely happy to do what she does and it shows. Dang it the whole office is just the bee's knee's. I will be going there until they tell me to stop coming in. LOL. Shut up and take my money!~FryPosted 01/22. I love , love, love this optometrist office. I love the care that I am given. I will follow up with more stories of awesomeness!!!!“

“This eye Dr was the nicest Dr I have ever dealt with. He had a small line forming and still took his time explaining a few things about my eyesight. He was kind, didn't rush, comforting, it's been a long time since I seen a Dr who actually cared, not just rushing to get to the next patient. I will always choose him now that I have been there.“

“The service and eyewear quality were great. But the hours listed in this google search are wrong. Orland Eye is not open on Saturdays (at least right now). Not sure who or how this can be corrected ?“

“Great office, great doctor and great staff! If you’re looking to establish care with an optometrist, this is definitely the place for you! It’s not your typical chain where you see different doctors. Dr. Kefalas was thorough while doing my exam and to my surprise they were able to see my 3 year old too. Her exam went well and he was very patient while examining my 3 year old. Highly recommend his services!“

“We have been going for two years, and we always receive the best care. Last year, Danny (Daniel) took care of my daughter and me. She was super nice, helpful, and quick, and gave us a great deal on glasses and contact lenses. This Saturday, I took my 9-year-old, who was scared, and 14-year-old for a vision exam. They both loved it there! Thank you for showing kindness and care to my family!“

“I HATE going to the eye doctor, but my wife makes me go once a year. The only thing that makes this tolerable is Dr. Disalvo-Ost. I dare you to find a doctor in the U.S. who knows more than she does. She is the most knowledgeable and thorough optometrist we have ever been to, the wife is always singing her praises. To top it off, she is the nicest person and very gentle. No matter where you are in Chicagoland or even in neighboring states, if you need expert care for your eyes, Dr. Disalvo-Ost is worth the trip.“
“All I can say is where have you guys been. I think this place is wonderful. Evey person was so nice. Dr. Chan is awesome. They are my go to now.i was so impressed.Amazing place absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a great eye place that does it all and are so patient and so kind. This is the place.these are real eye doctors. Do not waste your time the the Americas best or chains like that they just wanna sell you expensive frames. You will not be disappointed. I love this place.“
