Featured Services
LASIK
The eye doctors at Primary Eye Care Associates stay up-to-date on the latest in LASIK to help patients improve their vision, reduce the need for prescription lenses, and enhance their overall quality of life. Our Southside Chicago optometry office partners directly with ophthalmologists to offer both traditional and IntraLase LASIK (IntraLASIK).
Cataract Surgery
If cataracts interfere with your daily activities such as reading or driving, our skilled eye care experts can consult you about undergoing safe, effective cataract surgery. We offer laser cataract surgery, which is a more precise approach than traditional techniques.
Dry Eyes
Dry, itchy, or irritated eyes can make your day-to-day challenging. Fortunately, our clinic offers a range of dry eye treatments that can provide long-term relief and even improved appearance. From prescription eyedrops to tear duct plugs and autologous serums, we’ll work closely with you to determine the best treatment.
Eye Glasses
Our optical boutique carries big-name brands and the latest styles at a lower cost than other retailers. In addition to finding frames you love, our opticians will ensure your eyeglasses have a prescription optimized for you and suiting your unique features. Consider us your one-stop shop for new glasses.
Orthokeratology
Also known as corneal refractive therapy (CRT), orthokeratology is a non-surgical treatment for nearsightedness and farsightedness, and other types of refractive errors. The big takeaway? You could achieve improved vision without the need for prescription glasses or eye surgery: this option involves wearing oxygen-permeable contact lenses during sleep.
Eye Disease Treatment
We work with skilled ophthalmologists to treat a host of eye diseases, including glaucoma. If you suffer from optic nerve damage, our optometrists and ophthalmologists will work to halt or slow down the rate of vision loss.
