Many, many thanks for the careful guidance to getting my eyes "done" by Kirk Optical. It was/is Dr Juliet who gave me the direction, and an excellent change from a lifetime of glasses. I've learned more about how eyes and color work HERE, thanks to Affinity. Great staff, good location. Very, very helpful! read more

Dr. Najem is the GOAT, and I loved our little gossip sesh about local healthcare personalities. The new rx is perfect and I adapted to needing progressives in less than a week. My glasses took just over a week to be made. One note, the selection of a brand called "police" is disproportionately large but probably well received in a neighborhood like Dunning. Doctor is amazing, frame selection could be improved. read more

Dr. Najem took the time to discuss my cataract issue and what needed to be done. He looked thru my previous eye scans and we determined this time no glasses were needed, but was time for surgery. The office staff was efficient in providing help and information to head off to a cataract surgeon. I have used Affinity Optical for the last three or four years and have been happy with their services! read more

I really didn't appreciate how good Dr. Najem's patient care was until I came back after using W-P (you know who) for a few years due to their proximity to my home. First, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and makes it easy to book an appointment. Yeah, it can be a hassle to get there but the appointment is thorough, and it is with a professional who is looking out for your health, not seeing how many appointments he/she can run through in a day. Instead of being sent home with a pat on the head and 12 sets of frames being mailed to me a week later, I go home with a couple kinds of contact trials to see which feel best after a few days. It's like the difference between having a suit tailored and buying one off a discount rack. The care and precision make all the difference. He's a solid guy, too. 10/10; would definitely recommend. read more

Very good service here! Eye appointments are quick but thorough. Dr. Najem is very hospitable and informative. He gave my brother a diagnosis for his dry eyes and gave him special wipes for his eyes as his solution. The price for buying eyeglasses here isn't too bad and service is trustworthy. read more

We have been going for years now Dr Williams is great and the staff are very helpful and patient with all the needs u go through. My sons like it and clean and specious. Easy to park and close by. read more

My family has been customers for as fare back as I can remember, when the wonderful Dr Lewis worked out of 4Eyes on LIncoln and Peterson! Wow, that was a really long time ago. When she went to her Affinity Optical office "out west" we all followed her, and over the years have also come to know and love her brother, Dr Bill Najeem. What great people and great optometrists! Now that Dr. Lewis is in her Kenilworth store we continue to head West to see Dr Bill. read more

Dr. Najem always does a fantastic job. He's friendly, personable, and professional. The supporting staff are extremely helpful as well. I've been going here for a few years and have nothing but positive feedback for Affinity Optical. Thanks again guys! read more

I think I need to share our bad experience at Affinity Eyes Care. Although I would recommend the doctor for an eye exam, the rest of experience was terrible. We prepaid over $500 dollars after insurance for a pair of glasses because in the past with other places within two weeks we had our glasses, so why not pay it all and just get my new glasses? We were patient up to three weeks, without receiving any calls on updates of the reason for delay. When we called there were so many excuses of why the glasses where not ready (something of insurance, something of lab, even told UPS lost the glasses). When I had asked to cancel (the problem is they had my money already), there was more excuses, until the person said, "thank you," and hung up on me. We finally received the glasses, but I don't think I could or anyone should have to go through such an unpleasant experience. In some of the other comments of unsatisfied customers, there was a response from someone with an apology. No need for that. You should have helped out during this whole process when things started to get off track. read more

I have been going to this eye practice for many many years and Dr Najem Is one of the most thorough, outstanding EyeDoctors I've ever been to which is why I continue to come here. They've recently added Nelson who by far, exceeds every aspect of facilitating help with; insurance questions, eyeglass questions, exam questions... I could go on - he is truly outstanding in helping these two wonderful doctors keep their practice top-notch! If you are looking to get one of the best eye exams ever - you need to come to Affinity optical! They also have a wonderful selection of frames and lenses! read more

Having two insurance companies for vision is always tricky but Dr. Najem and his staff was awesome and we got great service and reasonable prices for the complete exam and three pairs of glasses. My husband and I appreciate the service and location. Thank you! Lukes Family read more

Poor service, took over 3 months for my mother to no even receive her new pair of prescription glasses. We asked for a refund back- got back everything except for $59. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Great place/ went here last year and was greeted friendly. The staff was courteous. Will be back again in the future.

I have used this practice since my Dr joined them many years ago. (at least 15) The office is well organized, kind staff, and a very nice supply of frames for glasses to choose from. A number of testing options are on hand in the office for easy diagnosis and identifying concerns. Thank you for your care of my vision! read more

Dr. Lewis was very patient with both of my children. One demanded more patience than the other. I'm glad that I found this office so close to home. It was a pleasant, pain-free experience all around. From the moment we scheduled our appointment to the moment we left the office. Nelson is great and so is the other young girl. Super friendly, super patient. Love 'em! read more

I've been a patient of them for more than 10 years! Both this location and their sister location are amazing. The staff are very friendly, especially Sam!! :) You always get amazing care, and they take their time helping you pick out glasses! read more

I see that I reviewed Affinity Optical in 2009, and seven years have passed (wow, but that's a whole other story). My family is still going to Affinity, and we remain very happy with the care and service provided to us. Dr Najem is running the store now, with Dr Lewis in Kenilworth at Eyes on the Lake. Dr Najem always takes his time with me, and I always feel like I am getting a really thorough medical exam, albeit one that is concentrating on my eyes. He explains what he is looking for, which I really appreciate, and if I have a question he never brushes me off, he always gives me a serious, thoughtful, answer. I love that about "Dr. Bill". If you are looking for attention to your eyes that the national chains will NEVER be able to give you, I invite you to go to Affinity! You won't regret it. read more

I've been coming here all my life but decided to try LensCrafters one time which turned out to be a less then favorable experience. My experience at Affinity today reminded me of why I've always came here. Their customer service is beyond professional. The girls at the front best are very courteous and Dr William Najem is extremely patient, he worked with me until my prescription was perfect. 5 stars for the best price, professional staff and great inventory ! read more

Awesome place without a doubt. Great service all the time with a smile. I recommend this place for anyone whose in need of a pair of glasses or eye exam. read more

Clean with what seems to be modern equipment. Doctor always takes his time and makes sure to pay attention to the details. All employees seem to care about the practice and know what they are doing. read more

Hours listed online are not accurate. Tried calling and the recording for their office hours is so fast I had to call 3 times just to listen and try to figure out their hours. Please update this info. I know they have Two days with later hours but have no idea which days. Thanks read more

This shop has been here for years. Exactly how many years I'm not sure. They have a lab and an eye doctor on the premises. Their prices are very reasonable. which is always a good thing. They also specialize in fitting patients for contacts. They are in the Jewel strip mall that has a bunch of stores. The lot is usually pretty full. It looks like all the stores here are doing really well. read more

Affinity Optical - Affinity Optical - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I've been coming here for years now. The doctor is great as well as the staff and overall service. The prices aren't too bad either.

I went to Affinity Optical since it was listed as an in network provider for my insurance. I was extremely disappointed by the customer service received from the staff especially after the order was placed. This place has no interest other than taking your money particularly if you have insurance. The frame prices are exaggerated to a rip-off level. A frame advertised elsewhere for $ 80 was sold and billed to insurance for $189. When I talked to Samantha, she indicated that there is nothing they would do and are free to sell at the price they desire. Don't go there, you will overpay for suboptimal service!! Even if this place is an in network provider you ll pay more after insurance!! On a side note, the doctor (Dr. Nejim) was passing by and didn't even bother to say hello when I greeted him. I am Extremely disappointed for getting such service while trying to support a local business!! read more

Dr. Najem is awesome!! The most thorough eye exam you will ever have in your entire life. He is also funny and witty! Love Affinity Optical! read more

Haven't been to the eye doctor in two years. Last experience, doctor told me how wonderful my sight is, followed by how much I needed glasses and a specific prescription that would cost $600. From the time I reached out to Affinity to see if they accept my insurance, they have provided nothing but spectacular service. Friendly. Kind. Patient. Helpful. Went in for my appointment today (and my husband) ... and they did not disappoint. Great service, very friendly and professional, and honest. Never felt like they were trying to sell us anything we did not need. Newer to the area, so glad we found our long term vision place. Definitely recommend. read more

This is my second year going to Affinity Opitical and I absolutely love them. They are very thorough and their customer service is excellent. They have plenty of frames to choose from and you don't wait long to receive your eye wear. I've gotten so many complements from my glasses. I recommend this place and you won't be disappointed. Plus they took my employment insurance. I saved quite a bit and can see!!! read more

I've been going here for years. Both doctors are terrific . Front desk is helpful and very efficient. Great service in a nice relaxing place. Good prices and selection. What more do you want?? read more

I dropped my glasses. As I was trying to pick them up I accidentally stepped on them. Affinity Optical gave me a great deal for repairing them and I payed a great price for a really great service. Thank you so much! -Jadwiga Tukiendorf read more

Dr. Choi is very kind and thorough - I could tell she really cares about me and my eye health. She is patient and takes time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I was happy with the customer service from the front desk staff, as well. I had no wait and everyone was very friendly. This was my first visit, but I'll continue to come back in the future. Finally, an eye doctor I know I can trust! read more

I love Affinity Optical. Dr. Najem is the only optometrist I trust with my eyes. He is extremely thorough and patient. I have gone to several optometrists/ophthalmologists in the past and none gave me such a thorough and professional eye exam. Dr. Najem really cares about his patients. He answers all of my annoying eye questions, which I really appreciate. Dr. Lewis is also great- very personable and professional! The office was recently remodeled and looks very upscale. The customer service is also great. I recommended Affinity Optical to many friends and all had a good experience each time they went, as well. This place is in a large strip mall area, so it is quite easy to miss, but definitely a gem. read more

So I got a new prescription because I was seeing double with the old one. Good job, I can see great. So I ask the girl if the can have sun glasses put in my old frames. Yes. $25.00. Didn't use them mush but thought I would try them for bowling to cut the glare. I'm seeing double pins. I take them back and get "sorry they put film on your old lenses" We will give you 20% off and charge you another $60.00. Here I thought the frames were what cost. Who would drive at night and want to see double? SAD read more

This is the only place I will go to for myself and my children. It is the perfect example of how shopping small and supporting local businesses is better than big box retailers. Both Dr. Lewis and Dr. Najem are extremely professional and the front desk staff always make sure to stay within my budget. One word of advice-- for glasses, purchase the anti-glare option it is definitely worth the money. The only criticism I could think of is that maybe they could have a larger selection of frames, but I always find one or two pairs that I really like. Love this place. read more

William you were not there , and do not know what was said to me . Yes I did receive one call from you , Thank you - I did call you back left a message , but did not get a call back. I would very much like to speak with you as my husband really did like you and felt bad going someplace else actually . But Samantha told me in fact several times , "These glasses aren't even worth fixing " ( her exact words ) as well as , When I asked her 3 times to please call the manufacturer as I felt they were worth fixing and she finally did it , but did it and acted like she was annoyed and bothered that I kept asking her to please do so. She also said it would be at least 2 weeks before part would come in and you wouldn't be able to look at them till the next week at the appointment for our new glasses , Not the next day . Her customer service was very poor at best and acted like I was bothering her , because I kept asking her to please find out the pricing as I knew these would be a simple fix and he could have these as an extra pair . Instead because of the poor customer service we spent our whole day running to 3 other Eyeglass stores till we finally found , The Eyeglass Shop. Which Im thankful for finding Minas , But this is just very frustrating as my husband works 60-70 hrs driving a week and the last thing he wants to do is spend his only day off driving from eyeglass store to eyeglass store for a simple fix that should of been done where we purchased them from. You lost a good customer. Again my husband really liked you , but you need to train your employees better because its a shame as we were happy with Affinity until this happened to us. read more

The doctor is awesome, very nice and gentle. I just love this optical. Some times it take lil long to get glasses but its worthit.

Our family has been customers of Affinity for both examinations, eye care and glasses for at least a decade. Each and every visit they outdo themselves; honest, polite, expedient, knowledgeable, competitive prices, quality, quality, quality. We would never consider going elsewhere. read more

I came in a while with a weird issue with my eyes about 2 years ago. I have sensitivity to certain materials as well as other needs.. The doctor explained the pluses and minuses to a decision i had to make. I am going back again soon to get my eyes checked because of the level of caring and concern I got the last time. I definitely recommend going here. read more

I started going here a couple years ago for my exams, glasses and contacts. They ladies at the reception desk are professional and pleasant. Dr. Najem is thorough and straight forward, meaning that he didn't tell my children they needed glasses when they didn't. It is so close and getting an appointment is easy. Adriana read more

I've been coming to this office for a few years now and always have a good experience. I see Dr. Barabas and he is great with contacts, he was the only one who found me a contact that wasn't tissue paper thin or a hard contact. The contact I used to wear is no longer made, it was actually made to fit your eye not like most of the one size fits all, thin contacts of today. I don't think I've ever waited longer than ten minutes to see the doctor. Everyone is pleasant and professional and there is a good selection and prices of eyeglasses. I always like to support the local businesses. read more

Rarely in the city do you get personal attention, where employees remember you and in this case the doctor is kind, caring, and interested in you as a person. This is the treatment I receive at Affinity optical. Dr Najem is thorough, highly competent, and fun to be with. I never feel rushed. He even made time for me to help me choose the most fun frames. They have expanded their frames to some new and colorful options. Quality and variety like you might find in a hip store in Lincoln park. And he really stays on top of your eye issues. He has just implemented giving a print out specific to your eye concerns which I found helpful and supportive. I highly recommend them. read more
