Hi -
I need to have my 5 yo daughter get an eye exam before entering Kindergarten this fall. I was going to have her go to my doctor, but I just found out that our vision care plan has changed to Davis Vision and my doctor is not a provider. Sigh.
Does anyone know of a good optomotrist or opthmologist in the NW suburbs (Arlington Heights, Palatine, Schaumburg area) who would be good for kids?
Thanks!

I got this referral from a friend of mine and plan on taking my son there for his exam before kindergarten:
Dr. Paul Lederer's , Arlington Heights.
His phone number is 847/255-1040
I took my 5 yr old to johnsons eye care and they did well. depending on your insurance if you can see an opthamologist I recommend premeir eye located at GSH.
dr. Langner 46 E. Irving Pk, Roselle
16305290993
She's really nice, I went to her myself and then with my son also for Kindergarten entry....
I just took my twins to LensCrafters for their Kindergarten eye exams. They were very good with them.
You can walk in, (you may need to wait)....or you could get an appt within the next couple days.
I have an HMO(yuck) & only had to pay my doctor co-pay ($10) in my case.
Hi,
We have gone to Pediatric Eye Assoc and seen Dr. Fishman. They have a location in Hoffman Estates. The number is ###-###-####. She has been great with my kids.
My pediatrician did it during his physical for kindergarten a couple weeks ago. If you haven't had the physical done yet, ask the ped to do it for you! (No eye chart required, etc.) :)
We use Premier Eye Care & Surgery in Buffalo Grove. The doctor that we see is Dr. Kolton. She is great with my son, he has glasses so we go often! There phone number is ###-###-####.
my son sees Dr Longest her office is at 1100 central
The Eyeglass Shop in Oak Park offers children's comprehensive eye exams for $25 as a community service. Their website is: http://theeyeglassshop.net/
My daughter sees Dr. Kimberly Curnyn. She has offices in Elk Grove and Arlington Hts. She is now 7 and has been going to her since she was almost 2. She is wonderful and almost all Opthamologists know her. She is wonderful with children. If you go to the Alexian Brothers Medical Center website and look for a dr., she's in there with her contact info.
Hi-
my friend recommended Assure Vision located in Arlington Town Square (Arlington Heights Rd, just south of NW Hwy. I just took both of my children (entering K and entering 1st) and they were wonderful with both of them. Their phone number is ###-###-####. I have EyeMed, and the exam cost us nothing. I think without any insurance, it would have been about $60?? Call and ask if they take the insurance. Both my kids have sensory processing disorder and anxiety, but wanted to keep going with the exam!
