    Yes, there are plenty of Pearle Visions near me, I choose this location because of Dr. Kulbak…read more(formally Windy City in Bucktown Square, Chicago). There is plenty of parking since it is located in the Woodland Commons Shopping Mall. Her staff greeted me as soon as I walked in. The check-in process was swift and simple. She was thorough with my eye exam and took the time to answer my questions. They carry a variety of brands of frames and the staff was helpful in assisting me in finding the exact frame I want. I was very happy with the service and experience. I am truly appalled by some of the low rating reviews. Eye exams and eyewear can be costly especially with add-ons and features. I don't think it's fair to give a one-star review or complain about the experience because of the cost.

    I walked in over the holiday weekend with a pair of glasses that I had accidentally broke. I did…read morenot purchase them from Pearle but they were the closest eyeglass store to my house so I figured I would try to get them fixed there. The manager, Sultan, helped me right away and repaired my glasses within 30 minutes. He was super helpful and friendly and I would definitely go back as a customer in the future.

You basically have to just go in person to get any information from the optical department. whoever is the office manager needs some work. I will say we really like the doctor and she's been great to work with and the only reason we continue going here.

    Not sure why everyone is moaning about the office staff here. I had no issues. Came in on time, a…read morelittle ahead of my time actually and they seated me after taking my info. There were no rude monster ladies at the desk, they were actually pleasant fast and efficient. The office is very busy today. Maybe don't expect small talk for days at the counter? The counter is all business do it fast and move forward. From there I waited for a surprisingly short time. Was called back to the examinations area, they did the eye retina measurement then took me to a private exam room, now there's some light cosmetic damage on furniture and surfaces but nothing significant or functional damaged. The entire diagnostic suite is in working order and all equipment works as expected. Sometimes changing equipment that I trust being put into my eye is things I'd rather just left alone if they are in working order. Don't change what just works. The clinicians are all pleasant and are relatively conversational but again, this is a busy high volume clinic, you came to get your eyes examined for a prescription. You came for a procedure. If you're grading the place on how much they talk then go somewhere smaller where they can accommodate more consultation time. Here you're going to need to be fast and efficient or they will feel awkwardly fast and hurried to you. There are no clinical concerns against their care. They clean equipment prior to each use, they check comfort levels and adjust lighting and comfort items as needed. Requests are typically honored (I requested before my visit that I do not do dilation in a common room so they let me keep private exam suite for the entire visit). I've been going to this and their Barrington office since before COVID-19 and I have no plans to change my vision service provider any time soon. Now, the gritty. But this is an EYE CLINIC AND SURGERY CENTER. It's not an eyeglass shop, the eyeglass shop is horribly overpriced. But who cares! They print your prescription anyway! Just fill it at an outside optical shop. Great eye clinic, optical shop is just there for theatre and if people got big wads of money to burn or Lamborghini insurance. Other than that I fully recommend this office. And this is coming from an autistic needlephobic who screams at the sight of needles.

    I wish I never went to this place. I went to Alan Optical because they are in network with my…read morevision insurance, which I pay a lot for. I went to Alan Optical on 11/10/25 and although I only went over my frame allowance by $25 I was charged and paid (stupidly) $807. I thought...well maybe there will be an adjustment when I get the EOB. The EOB dated 11/25/25 says I owe $375 so I call Alan Optical and they say, oh, this was billed wrong. We just dont know how much we owe you. We will work on it. They apparently rebill because on 3/9/26 I get a NEW EOB saying I owe $80. I call Alan Optical and they say the EOB is wrong and tbe insurance company (who THEY contracted with) is notoriously difficult to deal with. I explain my frustration and I'm told basically to go pound sand. She literally told me "you're acting like this is my fault." I have emailed both EOBs and made calls and I have to deal with the fact that I got ripped off. Beware.

That is what I like about Alan Optical, and that is just a plus since I have been going there at a minimum of once a year for over 20 years. I cant imagine going and seeing anyone else other than Dr. Keith Mihaly or his associates. Dr. Mihaly is very personable, takes the time to understand and help resolve any issues and is very perceptive to anything he might find and to provide a solution! I value his perspective and opinions. I also really like the office staff who have always been very helpful and assisted me with selecting new glasses . I highly recommend Alan Optical to anyone looking for quality service and not a cookie cutter franchise store!
