Optometrists near Oak Park

“Customer service was excellent
**UPDATE** 11/21/2025
Since my last review the customer service has declined tremendously. I hate to even call this location for anything. So they’ll never get my money again“

“I had a wonderful experience at Claudio Eye Care. The optometrist is incredibly kind and makes you feel right at ease. The entire staff is always eager to help with things like verifying insurance and ordering contacts.“

“These docs have given me back my life! Dr feinberg and colleagues are so smart! Many branches of medicine have well-defined areas that they cover. What if nothing is working for you? Never did I imagine I would be one of those odd-ball people for who me nothing works. I suffered with near-daily migraines for 17 years, treated badly by some neurologists, barely able to function, becoming socially isolated bc I was literally so sick and miserable all the time.

Luckily Dr Feinberg and her group know every path, rock and molehill of this weird post-brain-injury territory that traditional medical providers seem to skirt. I was diagnosed with vertical heterophobia amongst other things, and Drs Ferrence and Feinberg explained that due to my response to the glasses, I likely had other issues going on too.

Well, they have a whole team of providers who specialize in these not-uncommon-yet-not-well-known problems. I was referred to an ENT specialist and found to have “third window syndrome” which was making my life living hell and also a constellation of symptoms that many physicians don’t realize go together or are treatable. Surgical correction of this turned me from a near-daily migraineur to someone who has had a mere 7 migraines since 2/1/2024. I was also found to have growth hormone deficiency from the same brain injury that gave me migraines and third window syndrome. My energy is finally coming back. I’m starting to get back to a wt more in line with my pre-injury weight. I can go outside without sunglasses now; it’s not fun, but I’m no longer prostrate on the ground or feeling like I’m going to vomit or having such profuse eye tearing that I effectively can’t see. My hyperacousis and photophobia are much better too. I’m able to work full time and I just returned from a 5 state solo road trip.

All these weird problems now make sense: why I hate unloading the dishwasher, why folding laundry and cleaning house are so difficult: due to the “third window” my body is unable to correctly interpret the stimuli coming into my eyes and ears which causes brain fog, affects my balance and makes a lot of what-should-be-simple, small daily tasks much more difficult and fatiguing. That weird sound in my head wasn’t the lights, it wasn’t tinnitus—it was literally hearing my blood swooshing on the inside of my body, somehow amplified due to this injury. Who would ever think that is possible to hear something like that? And even better than understanding, point me toward the tools and supplementary specialists I need so I don’t keep wasting my time with mediocre doctors who maybe are okay for basic problems, but don’t really have the intellect or framework to begin to design an approach to an “outlier”.

It’s truly mind-boggling how common these problems are, yet how few physicians are adequately trained to evaluate and treat these problems. So grateful for Dr Debbie, her team and her collaborators for the clinical work, education/explaining and research they do. I have a life again!!

Don’t hesitate to make an appt. The care you receive is worth the drive and the cost (for me, the appts covered by my insurance but not the glasses or lenses). If you have anxiety, hear weird creaking or throbbing or swooshing sounds in you head, chronic headaches that nothing seems to really help, have a history of hitting your head even if it didn’t seem like big of a deal at the time, but a few months later your quality of life deteriorated, have inexplicable balance problems or notice you just don’t feel like yourself since that basketball hit you on the head, these folks can help you. It is one of the more strenuous medical exams I have gone through and I’m often wiped out after the appt but wow! I have a life again. And much improved anxiety and independence.“

“I’m very happy with my results post operation. Unfortunately Dr. Clark is not here today to give her my personal appreciation. Thank you Dr. Clark!“

“I have purchased eyewear at See the Troy, MI location for many years now. I can proclaim with unwavering honesty that their customer service is topnotch. The two Sandies--one is the store manager, and the other one is a customer specialist--are consummate professionals' They always make me feel like a A-list customer. Both are patience and knowledgeable and have always exceed by expectations and help me keep my eyewear game tight. Last evening, I picked up my 30th pair of eyeglasses. Sandy had me try on three new pair that recently arrived. See Eyewear is the only shop I will ever purchase eyeglasses from. That's my commitment to their terrific customer service.“

“Dr.Lorne Gottesman is an outstanding optometrist. His diagnosis is very thorough and quick. He is very easy to relate to and explains things to me in a very easy manner. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“I had a great experience. The staff was very personable and patient with me. I've been patronizing optical world over 30 years.“

“Amazing stuff. Very professional and kind . My Dr. was lovely always, extremely professional and sweet.“

“I saw Dr Diskin today for eye irritation from drywall dust. I had blisters on inner rims of eyelids that I had removed myself. He had never heard of something like that so I did some investigating myself. I found pictures and a diagnosis. Meibomian gland dysfunction. I have posted a picture of them so Dr Diskin can see what they look like. It's a real thing. I just wanted him to know .“

“I visited yesterday, needing glasses and contacts urgently for my job. They accommodated me with a same-day appointment, and the staff was both friendly and professional. I'm so grateful for their quick service and for getting my contacts ready the same day. I highly recommend them for their outstanding efficiency.“

“Best Optics I've been to it! The doctor and the customer service was great. Very fast very smooth.“

“I can’t say enough great things about this office. On two occasions, I needed to be seen urgently, and they went out of their way to expedite my appointment the same day. The doctor was incredibly attentive, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely at ease during a stressful situation. Outstanding care from start to finish.“

“Brittany Adams was very thorough and identified a problem as a result of a previous laser eye surgery that was causing my vision problems. We agreed to postpone a lens prescription until after my visit to my ophthalmologist. Thank you Brittany.“

“Everyone was friendly and helpful. The tech wbo did the preexam, exams was ftiendly and helpful. The optometrist took extra care to get the perscription right. The person who helped me pick out glasses was patient snd helpful. Overall a wonderful experience.“

“Joe, was extremely knowledgeable and very very helpful. I will recommend him to all of my coworkers and family. It was a pleasure having him to serve me and my husband.“

“Would have been a 5 star except for not having an on site doctor for the appointment. The staff at this location are incredible, over the years they have become friends and do an outstanding job of meeting my needs and caring about me. The virtual doctor is a farce, there should be a real in person doctor not someone who says they are a physician and be present not on a tv screen!“

“I cannot thank DejAne’ enough for the care and professionalism she showed me. Working in healthcare myself, I know how tough front-desk roles can be, especially over the phone. She remained kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

What could have been overwhelming was handled smoothly and clearly because she took the time to listen and explain everything. DejAne’ truly cares about patients, and it shows. She is outstanding at what she does.“

“Fraser is by far your best option if you're looking for a place to get Lasik. I recently had my procedure done, and it went really well from beginning to end. They are very accommodating, and their communication and facility are in excellent condition. Although I was previously skeptical about the Lasik procedure, I was really happy. Overall, recovery was very quick, and I was able to see about 90% the following day. All of the nurses, and Doctors are amazing ; they know how to take care of you. Can you find somewhere cheaper? Probably but will it provide you with As good of a service i doubt it for the Price I would say its A+“

“Receptionist always greets me with a smile. Dr. Roy is fantastic and answers any questions you have. I wanted to try contacts and it was a smooth process with them allowing you to try them at the store. overall 10/10 experience.“

“I came to them with a set of glasses not bought from them with bent ear arms and a lens out. Allie and Liz were able to help repair my glasses and send me on my way as good as new. Thank you!“

“I have been with Dr. Kalt for years. Dr. Kalt and Staff are-very professional, knowledgeable and kind.
I’ve had many issues and problems with my eyes throughout the years and Dr. Kalt has always made the situation better and comfortable. thank you, Dr. Kalt and staff.“

“I like the personal feel and individual attention my daughter and I received at Normandy. This will definitely be my eyeglass clinic of choice for the future.“

“The best eye doctor and glasses in the state. If you want truly unique glasses and fantastic customer service go to Shades.“

“Charita and Rayna are super friendly and helpful. I was all over the place but they helped me understand the process and I was having a really shitty day but they changed my mood. I forgot my phone and they took care of it till I was able to get back to get it. They truly deserve the praise and acknowledgement. Thank you“

“The person who helped me was very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. It was a positive experience. I went to the Troy, Michigan Target on Coolidge.“
