River Forest, IL Ophthalmology Office

Great overall experience with my Lasik procedure for both my eyes. Dr. Kirk & the staff were fantastic throughout the entire process. I'm so pumped that I don't have to wear contacts or glasses ever again!

This is absolutely no exaggeration. Dr Tyler Kirk saved my right eye. He is the reason I have vision in that eye. I will be a Kirk Eye Center customer for life!

I've been a Kirk patient since I was a kid-- my dad has been a patient of theirs for even longer. I had moved away, but have returned to help my parents. I always thought of them as completely trustworthy, but recently they performed magic for me. TLDR: Hiral Patel gave me the best prescription I've had in almost two decades and Viviana Cano eased my anxiety over switching back to contact lenses after almost three decades of wearing only glasses. Now, all the extra details. Last year, my vision was so bad that I applied for blind disability. My mom and dad insisted that I come home and go to Kirk for a definitive evaluation. Five hours into the appointment, my future was bleak. The final recommendation, a week later, was surgery. My parents were totally ready and willing to pay for it, but I hate spending their money and put it off put if off put it off. I'm going to skip the specifics on the stuff about the bad diabetic protocol prescribed by my primary and how ! ginned up the courage to change my own insulin dosage and how that probably saved my life and jump right to the day when a friend told me that her eyes didn't track together and she didn't see in stereo but wearing hard lenses gave her real vision for several hours a day. I immediately thought "let's get me over to Kirk and ask them about this." I was almost too shy to make the appointment, but the possibility of being able to drive again was too seductive. I called and set the time. I got there an hour early. David and I sat in the parking lot eating precut watermelon from Jewel (same plaza.) I was nervous. Doctor Patel strutted to the lobby to grab me for my examination and I was immediately filled with confidence. Anyone with that much personal security must be great at their job. I was not disappointed. "I want this to work," I offered. She smiled quickly and told me "remember to blink." I'm drowning you in minutiae. Let me bring this to a 10/10 conclusion: my vision is now corrected to 20/20 (I can read a sign from three blocks away!) and the lenses correct my astigmatism and keep my eyes in line. Now: Viviana. When I asked her to take a selfie that she liked (for me to use in this review) she didn't immediately understand that it was to praise and appreciate her. She's extremely deserving of both. I came in two days after my miracle exam, not sure if I had successfully removed the acuvue daily lens from my right eye. She took a peek and confirmed that it was out, and placed an order for some more trial lenses so that I could make sure it was the right fit for me. I came in again today with both lenses still in and significant anxiety over that fact. Today, Viviana removed the lenses and gave me a comforting tutorial that I think might help (and then listened patiently and socially awkward me gave her an unsolicited lesson on trafficking of vulnerable groups in rural areas that flowed from my rant against Loyola facepalm. Patient and kind and so helpful! Thank you.

I have been to eyecare clinics for 50 years, due to congenital eye conditions. I would like to say that KIRK EYE CENTER is the most wonderful place. I've been to in my 50 years of eyecare health..It is run like clockwork. I am never made to wait.The staff is so sweet and courteous. Dr. Tyler KIRK is a wonderful human being and you can tell he sincerely cares about your eyes..I am getting excellent care and my eye condition is being treated and is well in control.I am so happy that I found the KIRK center, when my other eye doctor retired. I went to my other doctor for decades and was apprehensive to find a new doctor. But, my previous doctor recommended the KIRK EYE CENTER so I knew I would be in good hands.I had a wonderful experience today and I just had to tell somebodyIf you have any eye condition at all, please go see an ophthalmologist.An optometrist can give you misinformation, which has happened to me time and time again. I was told if I wore contact lenses I would go blind. That is a lie. I was told I could not use contact lenses from anyone but the eye doctor I was attending. That was a lie.Everyone should be seen by an ophthalmologist at least one time in their life. Even if you have good eyes. Optometrists sometimes give scary misinformation.Go to an MD. Like the KIRK EYE CENTER.You only get one set of eyes and treat them better than anything you have in the world except maybe your spouse. Ha ha.I can't say enough good things. I'm sorry this is so long but they have my eye problem under control and they were so nice to me today. God bless all of you.
