Returned the glasses since the prescription didn't seem quite right.. only took about a week extra for them to correct the prescription and get glasses back. Still getting used to them. Had to buy some temple sleeves to relieve the pressure off the ears. There doesn't seem to be a good solution to solve this due to my prescription causes the lens to be heavy the middle.. kind of frustrating. Adjustments don't seem to help a lot just a little so I do need the ear padding sleeves.

Because, I was able to work from home one Friday, I stopped in Uptown Family Vision for an eye exam. I immediately noticed a significant upgrade in the equipment used to examine my eyes. Since Dr. Andrew Paik and his wife took over the practice, they upgraded all the equipment and it is now state of the art. As a result, I had the most thorough eye exam in my life. My new glasses in contact lenses have improved my vision. I have such confidence in the process and experience that I'm going to move my family to this practice in 2025.

Icame here after a referral from Resurrection Medical for an eye abrasion. The care I received was…read moresolid, and the optometrist was helpful and professional. That said, the follow-up required several visits, which felt a bit drawn out. In hindsight, I probably would have benefited from seeing an ophthalmologist sooner--someone who specializes in that type of condition. The clinic does seem busy, especially on the medical side, which usually speaks to its reputation. While I didn't personally see an ophthalmologist here, there was clearly steady demand for their services. One downside: the pricing on glasses felt high, similar to what you'd see at larger chain retailers. It's worth comparing prices elsewhere before making a purchase. For perspective, I later visited University Ophthalmology Associates (UOA) on Old Orchard Rd in Skokie for cataract care, and had a very positive experience there. Overall, this clinic is a convenient option and I'd consider coming back, particularly for general eye care. Just keep in mind--if you're dealing with something more complex, it may be worth exploring specialist care early and checking pricing before committing.

Even sitting in the waiting room is fun - yesterday one of the display cases was filled with miniature vintage fire cars and trucks. My wait there wasn't more than a couple minutes, but that gave me just enough time to check them out!

First of all, I have been a patient of doctor Szewczyk for many years and have to admit that the quality of care is just outstanding. Doctor Szewczyk is never rushed and takes a holistic care of her patients. Few times, thank to her detailed tests (and advanced technology she is using), doctor identified several health issues that were outside of her area of expertise and I will always be thankful for that. I feel good that every time I have my annual check-up I see some new & best in class technology that is being used to examine my eyes condition and health - this means to me that I am at the right place since the care is evolving and I want my doctors to follow new technologies/research/innovations. Lastly, I only purchased two pairs of frames (in 8 years) and they last forever! I am still using both to work and continue to receive many compliments (the person that works at IFEC spent hours to help me find perfect frames, was patient and never rushed me, even recommended I come back in few weeks to get the perfect style and I got it!... so I don't have a need to change frames for a "better model"). Doctor is a genuine, kind, experienced professional and has a great reputation. Frankly, I never pay attention to the receptionist since my focus is always on the doctor expertise, but they always been very patient-focused, nice, friendly and I never experienced what others in reviews listed below. I work downtown so on many occasions I had to see other doctors for immediate care and when it happens I am always checking if IFEC didn't expand their location to downtown area (I wish, since i never get the same level of quality and care from other doctors/places around my office). Doctor's focus has been always on quality of care and best outcome for her patients. I never felt pushed to spend money at the clinic - actually I am saving my money (by being doctor Szewczyk patient I am getting a significant discount for LASIK procedure at Kraff institute - I was so positively surprised, thank you doctor for recommending this procedure/place to me!!) So happy and already counting days to my surgery!
