Eye doctors at Bucktown on Damen in Chicago, IL

Dry Eye

Dry eye is a condition where your eyes either don’t produce enough tears, or the tears themselves lack the proper oil composition to effectively coat the eye. This causes redness, irritation, light sensitivity, mucus formation, and a greater susceptibility to other eye diseases. Our treatment range is massive, and we’ll choose a solution that treats your condition at its source. Options include specialty lenses, antibiotics, eye inserts, tear-stimulating drugs, serum drops, LipiFlow, intense-pulsed therapy, and more.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a term used to describe a group of eye diseases that cause vision loss and blindness by damaging the optic nerve in the back of your eye. Treatments include eye drops, medications, and possibly surgery. Our team will use cutting-edge tech and modern treatment options to detect the earliest signs of the condition and provide targeted care that will halt glaucoma in its tracks.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a condition where the part of the retina which controls a person’s ability to see straight ahead, the macula, begins to deteriorate. Blurred vision is a key symptom, and it’s accompanied by distortion, vision loss, seeing spots, and an inability to see in low light. Macular degeneration’s symptoms don’t appear until after long-term damage is done, so it’s important to catch it early. Our comprehensive eye exams will catch this disease every time, and our team has excellent treatment options at their disposal, including effective vitamin regimens and specialty lenses.

Diabetic Retinopathy

This disease occurs when the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye become damaged by diabetes. Symptoms include blurriness, dark areas in vision, muted colors, floaters, and in advanced cases, total blindness. We offer thorough diabetic eye exams utilizing cutting-edge technology that allows us to catch and properly manage diabetic retinopathy and similar diseases.

Furthermore, we offer repairs for any glasses frames whether you bought them here or elsewhere — just bring them in and we’ll take care of it.

Cataracts

Cataracts are a natural clouding of the eye’s lens that grows and intensifies over time. The main symptom is blurry vision — making it feel like you’re looking through a cloudy window. Eyewear can temporality alleviate this symptom, but the only true way to recover your vision is through cataract surgery. We will diagnose the condition, help you understand all your options, and handle all pre- and post-operative concerns so you can feel comfortable receiving this life-changing procedure.

Specialty Lenses

We offer a wide array of alternatives for patients who are unable to wear conventional contact lenses. Our selection includes rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, Ortho-K, scleral lenses, hybrid contacts, and other options to aid in vision correction and address specific illness concerns.

Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a condition where the front of the eye, the cornea, which focuses light on the eye, becomes thinner and bulges outward over time. This results in symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty seeing in dim light, vision loss, sensitivity to light, nearsightedness, astigmatism, and double vision. The uneven corneal surface means tears don’t spread evenly, which can lead to dry eye. Our eye disease doctors offer relief through several effective methods to treat the condition, including RGP, scleral, and other specialty lenses.
