Eye Society

This is actually for the New Wacker Dr. Location but that location isn’t set up in Unilocal yet, because now Eye Society has 2 Chicago locations!
All I can say, is outstanding! The facilities were amazing, and the staff was even better! Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating! Hands down the best in Chicago. Thanks for all your help and an extremely comfortable eye exam. Kudos to you!

Becca was absolutely amazing! She patiently waited while I tried on 100 different pairs of glasses 100 different times. Great help all around. I’d definitely recommend the Eye Society to anyone!

My first time getting my eyes checked here. The staff was super friendly and the doctor was super knowledgeable. I love their eye wear selection!!!

I came to Chicago on vacation from LA and I forgot to bring my contacts! My eyesight isn’t the worse, but it’s definitely uncomfortable without my contacts. I was staying at the Hyatt nearby so I decided to Unilocal for the nearest eye center after checking in to my hotel. I came across several places, but decided to come here because of their positive Unilocal reviews. And I’m so glad I did! I explained my situation to Becca (front desk), and she told me that I can contact my optometrist back in LA and have them fax over my prescription. After doing so, she gave me sample contacts that matched my prescription, free of charge, along with a travel size solution and contact case! She was very accommodating and nice even though I’m not their regular client and would probably see them never again. Thanks for all your help, Becca! I created this Unilocal account just so I can write them a review :).

Friendly staff. Latest eye exam technology. Selection isn’t huge, but well-​curated, representing most of the latest styles and brands (like 141 Eyewear which I was interested in). I haven’t walked into any light poles lately, so the glasses seem to be working great.

Needed contacts on short notice, and Eye Society was my savior! I was in and out in just a few minutes and on with my day.
Great location, great office, great staff. I highly recommend Eye Society to anyone living in or passing through the downtown Chicago area.

This is a very solid eye doctor and eyewear retailer. I’ve been 3 – 4 times and always enjoyed timely and friendly service. The staff is very informative, answers all your questions and explains every step of the exam process.
They also have a pretty good selection of frames.
Make sure you take advantage of any credits your insurance company offers — the staff will look that up for you.

What an amazing experience. By far the most professional, helpful and nicest staff. From the reception desk to the actual eye exam I was extremely impressed and pleased. There was no pressure to buy frames on the spot. I went back to the store 3 days after my exam to purchase my frames and had help when I needed it.
I highly recommend Eye Society!

Convenient appointment times, short wait times, very helpful staff. I was able to obtain copies of my prescription quickly and easily.

this is not your run of the mill lens crafters type of eye place. THIS place is awesome! very trendy and an amazing staff to go along with it!
HIGHLY recommend if you are in the market for an eye exam.

Very professional staff. They are usually quick and the doctor is knowledgable. I am confident in coming here. I do not have vision insurance, so they are accommodating in helping me with payment.

Excellent service today for my wife and myself. Extremely accommodating from the whole staff. Becky took great care of us and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back!

I have never been a fan of wearing glasses, but with the right pair of frames I feel like I look as good as I can see! Thanks Dan!!! The Dr. and the staff are really friendly and very helpful. I’d recommend them to friends!

My daughter and I get our eye exams& glasses from here. Recently daughter’s glasses broke and I was really impressed on how quickly they were able to get her a replacement pair. Becca & the staff went above and beyond my expectations. Since my insurance wasn’t eligible they were able to give me a discount. She got a affordable and more durable pair within a week!

This is honestly the best eyeglass company that I have ever been to. I thought that I was rather good at picking my own glasses, but each associate here proved me wrong. I got not only one, but TWO great pairs of glasses that fit me perfectly. I get compliments everywhere I go. But the best part about this place is the fact that they work hard to get things done right. I saw firsthand how they strive to get you the right pair and they never get frustrated with indecisiveness. What I would say that I like the most, is the fact that they got my prescription right the first time. I had lost faith because I have been to places where one has to go back multiple times so that they can get it almost right. You can trust that the recommendations that they are making will truly help.
I have always been seen on time and they have always tried to work around my schedule. I look at some of these other reviews and cringe at the type of people who must write them. «They could not handle a 10 minute delay». When reading gibberish, put yourself in the shoes of the appointment that is after that entitled person. Would you want them to handle that delay at your expense? I sure as heck would not and would love the opportunity to tell someone that to their face. We all have lives and mine should not be put on hold for someone else (just in case they come back to read this)
I have already recommended this fine establishment to at least 25 people and I will continue to do so because there is no place I would rather go. I have been to those companies like lenscrafters and I get treated like I am in the shoe department at value city. If you want things done right and you want the best fit for you, then visit eye society. Don’t believe me? See for yourself. And trust me when I say, I usually NEVER write reviews.
Did I mention that I come all of the way from Schaumburg to be seen by them? That has to say something.

Been coming here for years, awesome place.
Fast, professional, they have tons of styles, always very accommodating.
All around great experience every time!

Why does an optometrist appointment have to feel like a trip to a used car lot? I went in to get my contact lens prescription updated, nothing more. When my appointment started I was immediately swept into a sales pitch for an elective retinal imaging procedure, which I didn’t need and my insurance wouldn’t cover fully, so I refused it after some persistent salesmanship.
When my appointment ended, the staff balked at giving me my prescription so I could order contacts online. They were fine with this in 2013 — it was a big part of why I decided to come back — so I was surprised and disappointed at the change in attitude. Again they laid on the sales pressure and convinced me to buy lenses from them and take a chance at what has turned out to be a fairly onerous mail-​in rebate. The rebate comes only in the form of a prepaid Visa card, you have to submit original copies of two different receipts (which you do not receive on the day of your Eye Society appointment), and you have to submit your name, address, and email to CooperVision and surely their marketing department.
The exam with the doctor was pleasant, but I don’t appreciate being nickel-​and-​dimed for medical services and will not return.

They were able to replace a broken screw in my beloved pair of Ray-​Bans (not purchased there) and saved me six weeks of waiting for factory repair. Recommended!

Walked in without an appointment. Becca was very nice, attentive, and prompt. She was very knowledgeable. She helped me see again! The shop was very clean with a good selection. Service was excellent. I come from a family of Ophthalmologists and I was very impressed.

I walk by Eye Society on a daily basis, so I thought I’d come here when I needed an eye exam.
Scheduling an exam was easy, they took my insurance, and the appointment was fast and on time.
I thought everything except their selection of frames was great. And from all of the things I had heard about Eye Society, I honestly expected more in terms of their selection. I’d go back for an eye exam, but next time I need frames, I’ll probably continue to go back to See Eyewear.
