Dr. Kim is a fantastic, knowledgeable, smart, caring, eye doctor. As a family, we have seen her for the past few years and she greets us with a smile, is very thorough with her eye exams, diagnosis any issues, and always has our best interest at heart whether it be a yearly exam or a medical visit. Dr. Kim recently diagnosed my daughter with convergence insufficiency and suggested vision therapy.Elena and Gretchen are fantastic therapists. They love their patients just like their own children or grandchildren. They welcome their patients and parents with open arms to their office. They have created a cozy, inviting, and safe atmosphere for their patients to work. Elena and Gretchen are both kind, caring, funny, outgoing, smart ladies who are very knowledgeable in their craft and spend time explaining why and how things aren't working the way they should and how the activities that they do will help.These ladies incorporate fun into their therapy times and also make modifications when needed. They want to see their patients succeed and spend quality time with each and every one of them. Then are so excited when they see growth and accomplishments, even if they are small.My daughter has been struggling in her reading fluency. This is a life skill that she will need to be successful in her future and without the help of Ms. Elena, she would not be making strides like she is. Ms. Elena is training and developing my daughter's eyes so she can be a confident and strong reader which in turn will allow her to move forward in her academic career and develop into a productive adult. Elena holds a special place in our hearts and my daughter wants to continue vision therapy forever. We appreciate all the time, effort, and love, she gives to both of us every time we meet.Dr. Kim, Elena, and Gretchen are improving the well being of all the individuals they come in contact with who are benefitting, growing, developing, and becoming healthier because of their important work.

Excellent experience with the vision therapist Elena Raskin! She did not only help my daughter eliminate her eye muscle problem but also is trained in ASD and gave many other tips to help my daughter managing her autism better. It is with great sadness to learn that this amazing vision department is closing!!

I originally came to MyEyeDr for a regular checkup, but through Dr. Kim's testing found that I had convergence insufficiency, something that I had never been diagnosed with before. She recommended that I go to vision therapy with Elena, and for the following months, I met weekly with Elena to reach my vision goals. My whole life has changed thanks to my time in vision therapy in ways I didn't know where possible before I started. I have a much easier time reading, and I am much faster at comprehending what I have read with no headaches. Thank you again to Elena, Dr. Kim, and the whole team at MyEyeDr!!

It's been over a year that my daughter has received eye therapy from Elena Raskin. When she first went in she had blurry vision and struggled to read, she had frequent head aches and couldn't focus for more than 10 mins at a time while doing school work. At first she was given glasses to help her vision while reading/doing school work because one of her eyes had a prescription that was far worse than the other. The doctor then suggested vision therapy, insisting that the eyes and brain were not working together properly. After a few months of therapy my daughter's prescription began to change and her vision improved to the point that she no longer needed glass, nor therapy! We were and are still so impressed and ecstatic over the results of vision therapy! Elena was the most patient and caring person who made sure to address all of our goals in helping our daughter towards success. If the doctor suggests therapy for her patients it's because she cares to help and REALLY believes in its benefits, because of results like ours. Many don't understand how vision therapy can have such significant results, but that shouldn't be enough to hinder getting such great help for actually improving the quality of life.

I've been going here for the last 5 years and they are super professional. One year i went to another place that my insurance recommended and they screw my prescription. Dr Kim is the best and i highly recommend her.

We discovered MyEyeDr in Des Plaines on July 1, 2023. My husband was rubbing his eyes and said that he was in a lot of pain, so I searched the internet for an eye doctor nearby. I was happy and relieved when Ogla said she would fit Jack into her schedule. Dr. Kim was wonderful. She prescribed drops and told us to use heat compresses for Jack’s clogged tear ducts.Today (7/20/23), we returned for a follow up and eye exam with Dr. Kim, and Caleb helped us pick out Jack’s new glasses.Watching the staff’s professional and friendly treatment of Jack, convinced me to make an appointment for an eye exam for myself!

Took my teen for his exam and Dr. said that vision therapy could "cure" my son's ADHD. My son was diagnosed by a licensed neuropsychologist about 2 years ago. Dr. said her own son was "cured from all of his symptoms" with vision therapy. She also said 85% of the symptoms of ADHD and the vision issues are the same. I told her I thought it was dangerous for her to say these things to people, considering she is not a neurologist, psychiatrist, etc. I also know that vision therapy is not included in most insurance plans. ? My son's vision was also 20/20. Be educated and careful if the same things are said to you.

Where had I've been all these years and did not know this eye clinic. Been here and there and have my annual eyeglasses made, but never did I experience not only a good ambience but also the warmth of the staffs. Caleb, handled my lenses selection and add-ons at the same time explain thoroughly the technical issues. He spent more time to make sure I made the right choices. Three different eye clinic made my eyeglasses for 13 years but they're not as accommodating as this one. So grateful I've found MyEyeDr in Elmhurst Rd in DesPlaines. I Highly recommend this clinic!

My child has benefited from the outstanding vision therapist at this eyedoctor. Her therapist has been professional, able to identify issues and provide exercises to improve my child's vision issues. Thishas helped with my child's confidence as well.

I went to this shop, they were honest about repairing my glasses. I was able to get alternate solution, would definitely try it if you have broken glasses.

Wonderful place with great service and attention. Dr. Kim and Elena make an incredible team.I brought my kids here because several of them were having tracking issues, and my 8 yr old was behind on his reading skills. My 13 yr old was diagnosed with ADHD, was getting daily headaches, and having meltdowns at the end of every school day. I had no idea that Vision Therapy could address all of this.Turns out my 13 yr old had convergence excess which was causing her to work too hard the whole day (your vision can affect your whole nervous system!) - her headaches were gone with only 3 sessions with Elena, and by the end of the 12 sessions she was calmer and more confident in her schoolwork.My 8 yr old, who in Nov. 2022 was barely able to read, is now almost at grade level. Absolutely amazing. He LOVES his sessions.Elena is a hidden gem - she not only addresses the mechanical issues of the eye, but also developmental and academic skills. She is brilliant in an understated way. She is very respectful and patient with everyone.They have a new therapist - Gretchen - who is working with my 17 yr old on his tracking issues. She was trained by Elena years ago and has the same kind, personable approach. I am so grateful to have found this place!

Their service was very disappointing. I've reached out to them about some modification with my kids' prescription and promised to give me a call back but 2.5 weeks have passed and nobody even bothered to call. I would have to call them myself to see what's the update and the receptionist would just give me excuses that the manager has not come back yet. If you can't grant whatever your customers were requesting, at least show some professionalism to inform or update them.
