Frequently Asked Questions

For most healthy adults, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every year — even if your vision seems fine. Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, develop with no early warning signs. If you wear glasses or contacts, manage a condition like diabetes, or notice any change in your sight, you may need to be seen more often. Your doctor will recommend the right schedule for your eyes and your health.

An optometrist (OD) examines your eyes, prescribes glasses and contacts, and diagnoses and manages many eye conditions. An ophthalmologist (MD) is a medical doctor who also performs eye surgery. An optician fits and dispenses eyewear from your prescription. At Naper Grove Vision Care, our optometrists handle your exams and your ongoing eye health, and we refer you to a trusted surgeon whenever a procedure is needed.

We serve the western suburbs from two convenient locations: one in Naperville and one in Downers Grove. Both offices provide complete eye care for the whole family.

Naperville: 1331 W 75th Street, Suite 403

Downers Grove: 6840 Main Street, Suite 250

We recommend a first eye exam around age 3, and another before your child starts kindergarten. So much of early learning happens through the eyes, so an undetected vision problem is easily mistaken for a learning or attention difficulty. Our pediatric exams are gentle, patient, and built to keep children at ease — and no reading is required for the youngest patients.

Naper Grove Vision Care does not perform LASIK or other refractive surgery in our offices. Instead, we give you an honest LASIK consultation, help you decide whether the procedure suits your eyes and lifestyle, and refer you to an experienced surgeon. You stay with a doctor who knows your eyes throughout the process.

Booking is simple. Request an appointment online, or call the office nearest you. New patients are always welcome.

Yes. Shop our selection of frames and reorder contact lenses through our online store at shop.napergrove.com, and our team is glad to help you find the right fit.

Often, yes. Nearsightedness (myopia) tends to progress through childhood, and higher myopia raises the long-term risk of serious eye disease. Our myopia management program uses proven methods — such as specialty contact lenses and low-dose atropine drops — to help slow that progression. The earlier we begin, the more we can usually do.

These are classic signs of dry eye or digital eye strain, and both are very common today. Long hours on screens, dry indoor air, contact lens wear, and aging can all lower the quality of your tears. A dry eye evaluation finds the cause and matches you with the right treatment — from simple daily habits to targeted in-office care.

Please bring your current glasses or contacts, a list of any medications you take, and your vision and medical insurance details. Tell us about any family history of eye disease, because it helps us care for you well. Plan for about 30 to 60 minutes
