After trying my new contact prescription, something felt a little off. I called the office and he was extremely helpful and understanding. He offered for me to come back and recheck my prescription. He made sure everything was perfect and comfortable. I've gone to so many eye doctors in the past 25 years and Dr. Kohn is by far the best one I've ever had. He's just a doctor who cares- which I feel is rare these days. I won't hesitate to bring my kids and husband when they need their eye exam. Everyone in the office is extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. Sometimes unkind office staff kind of ruin your experience, but that will not happen here. There's just an overall culture of being kind and taking good care of patients throughout the office. I'm so glad I took the chance to try Wilmette eye care, because I'm so happy here!

    I was searching for a new eye doctor in January, and so I saw that this place was near my house and…read morehad strong reviews. My appointment in January was generally fine. Dr. Patel is considerably more personable, professional, and kind than the staff working in the front. I liked Dr. Patel, she gave me a new prescription, explained that now I need transition lenses and gave me options for getting contact lenses for distance vision and using readers for up close, which is what I opted for. The ladies at the desks upfront are clearly there to insist that customers purchase contacts and glasses through Eye Wellness. I learned a couple years ago- GET YOUR CONTACTS ONLINE!!! They are literally 50% cheaper or more. Same was true for this most recent prescription. They quoted me $250+ for a 6 month supply of monthly lenses. I got them online for $130. And opted to purchase my glasses thru Zeelool, and both of the ladies tried hard to discourage me from doing that. I declined. Fast forward to April, I'm getting migraines. I haven't gotten migraines in quite a while and began the process of elimination to try and figure out what was causing them. When I eliminated my contacts and went back to my old prescription glasses, no more migraines. As u was experimenting I also went back to Eye Wellness to request a follow up for Dr. Patel to double check my prescription because it just didn't feel quite right. My near and distant vision was never as sharp as it should be (as it has been) and this inability to see close unless I have on readers seems strange to me because without any contacts or glasses I see just fine up close. So one of the ladies took the glasses I had with the new prescription, verified the lens was my new prescription (despite them saying Zeelool may mess up my prescription) and proceeded to tell me it takes a couple of weeks to adjust to the new prescription from the "Alice in wonderland" effect. I replied yes but it's been months, and I'm getting migraines. I also explained I do not use my glasses much, I really wear my contacts everyday and use readers. So she made the next available appt which was a week away. I confirmed I wouldn't be charged for this follow up appointment and was given no other instruction. Today I showed up for my appointment expecting that I would be receiving another eye exam to verify that my original prescription was correct. That was not the case. I was informed by one of the front desk ladies who also does some of the diagnostic tests, that Dr. Patel will need to see me with my glasses to evaluate whether there's an issue with the glasses. I explained (again) that I don't typically wear glasses, I prefer wearing contacts, which are the prescription they wrote for me, so I assumed they were going to reevaluate my eyes and ensure the prescription was correct and that no one told me I needed to bring in my new contact prescription AND my new prescription glasses (that I don't wear). I live literally a 5 minute drive from the place and Dr. Patel was in with another patient so I said I can run and go get both and come back, and she said no we'll have to schedule you on another day, I asked why I couldn't be examined at least then since I waited a week to come in, and haven't been wearing my new prescription to avoid getting migraines, and no one told me I needed to bring them with me to be evaluated. So she went to consult Dr Patel and then said "yea you need to have your glasses with you so she can check the prescription on you". Again completely not getting the fact that I said numerous times I wear contacts normally. I don't even know whether she accurately explained the situation to Dr. Patel, so I can't even fault her in this situation because it was her staff that is responsible for the poor communication and inflexibility that occurred related to this follow up exam. So this front desk woman said the next available appointment is next Wednesday and that's when she could schedule me to come back. While I was there today for the brief moments at the front desk, I overheard one of the eye glasses ladies quote an after insurance cost of $1300 to a customer who almost fell out if her chair asking for a breakdown of that cost. Now I pay out of pocket for my eye exams, contacts and glasses, and my bill is never close to that. I do not know anything about what that customer had going on, but AFTER insurance a bill of $1300 just so you can see properly seems really excessive. I won't be returning to this place as a result if the abrasive attitudes of all of the front of the house ladies working there. I hate to leave a review like this because I really liked Dr Patel, and I do not enjoy giving negative reviews to any women owned business. However, when the attitudes are not welcoming, and there aid clearly an effort to suck customers dry by upselling glasses and contacts and discouraging tactics that actually save us money in the current economic condotions

The staff were lovely, the service wonderful, and the glasses beautiful. When I moved to Wilmette, I found this was the closest location to my new home, and I will never go back after what I experienced. My husband went first, and told me the staff were obnoxious and aggressive about selling glasses, which was the opposite of our experiences over the last 15+years at the other locations. I went to see for myself, and completely agree. The woman was rude, pushy, and judgmental. When I told her I wanted a second pair and therefore did not want to spend a lot, she got very nasty and rude, and bristled at my decision. When I came to pick up my glasses, she completely ignored me, turning her attention to shoppers and those waiting to see the doctor who obviously did not need to be helped. Her behavior was classless and rude, and she cheapened the experience when clearly this establishment has beautiful items and is part of a lovely larger chain. Evanston, you can learn a lot from the Southport, Roscoe, and LaSalle locations - they have it together! Your nastiness and judgement have no place in such a sweet neighborhood. Please treat customers kindly and respectfully and reserve your judgement for your own purchases.

After my first time, everyone in the shop knew my preferences. They are each expert at finding the glasses not that simply look good but that look great. I never stop in without an offer to clean my glasses or check the fit. It's a pleasure to do business there.

You have to be careful about what is being offered and be knowledgeable about what you want and what your insurance covers and does not cover. With that in mind, I have had a very positive experience with MyEyeDr and highly recommend them for all of us four-eyed humans!

I walked around the lobby to start looking at frames. Sat down for a few minutes and got back up and continued to shop the frames in the store until finally one employee that was sitting there with no customers asked if I needed help. REALLY?! I explained why I was there and she asked if I had insurance and I told her yes. She asked what kind. I told her. Then proceeds to tell me that they DO NOT accept my insurance there. I told explained that I was told by one of her colleagues that they did. She told me maybe I should go downtown. So...poor customer service, bad employee training, uninformed employees.
