Opticians and optometrists in Chicago

87 opticians and optometrists are mapped within about nine miles of central Chicago. Readers from a rack suit two eyes that need the same help; when they differ, when distance blurs too, or when headaches come with reading, that is an optometrist's exam. An optician fits and adjusts frames, including ones you bought elsewhere.

Chicago has low UV in winter but real glare: snow reflects up to 80 percent of UV, so a bright February day on a white field can be harder on the eyes than July. Summer afternoons reach high UV; the low sun of early spring and fall is the driving-glare season.

Before you go

  • Bring the glasses you use now; the prescription is read off them in a minute.
  • Ask whether a basic exam includes a dilated retinal check; the American Optometric Association recommends one every one to two years for adults.
  • Ask what a frame adjustment costs for glasses not bought there; many shops do it free.

What works

  • Readers with the same strength in both lenses cannot correct astigmatism or two different eyes; blur or strain after ten minutes is the sign.
  • A pupillary distance (PD) number from an exam lets you buy prescription lenses online later.
  • Sunglasses for driving should pass an impact test (ANSI Z80.3 in the US) and block UV to 400 nm; an optician can check a lens for UV with a meter.
