Convergence Insufficiency is a common vision disorder estimated to occur in 8-12% of the population. People with convergence insufficiency can pass a vision screening easily, yet often struggle with reading due to difficulty focusing. In fact, according to research 33% of children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder have convergence insufficiency.
The Progressive Myopia Center of Park Ridge Vision is dedicated to protecting vision in patients with myopia, also known as nearsightedness. Research in myopia has made it clear that there is a direct association with blinding eye diseases and higher levels of myopia. There is an enormous amount of information available regarding the options available to slow down the rate of change in patients with myopia.

My glasses are always correct when they’re made to my prescription, they have a good selection of frames and they always are very thorough with their exams, they take the time to listen to your questions and concerns.

Brought my son in with an eye infection, and they got us in right away. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Press was wonderful and thorough and really great with my son. My son walked away more confident about his recovery.

In December I had a terrible eye issue and I was able to make an appointment very fast. I met with Dr. Simic several times that week and she resolved my eye issue for me. I had a wonderful experience with her. A couple weeks later I had received my portion of my bill that wasn't covered by my insurance. I submitted it to my HSA and they issued a check to PR Vision. Done. It is now June and I am receiving a letter from their billing department stating that if I don't pay my balance of $105 dollars within the next 30 days, I'll be taken to collections. I immediately got on the phone

You can tell a lot about how you experience is going to be by the way you are welcomed and treated at the reception desk which was very friendly, respectful and kind. The reception area is very welcoming as well as the whole layout of the office. You feel in are being taken care of by highly knowledgeable professionals in a very timely manner. What more can you ask for?

So satisfied with Dr. Simic! She is so professional, polite and knowledgeable! I was in panic before I saw her because of my eye condition, she made all necessary exams and explain everything to me. Instantly I felt better. I highly recommend her! All staff are so friendly and helpful. So happy that I found her! Thank you so so much!

Dr Press and staff were excellent! Highly recommend! Our little was speech delayed and starting kindergarten, little did we know she wasn't able to see very well. Dr Press uncovered her vision impairment quickly and with ease. His approach was excellent and our little always felt at ease. Her glasses opened up a new world and in the last 2 months she has flourished dramatically. Her speech has improved significantly and her engagement in school was even noticed by her teacher.

Great experience. Most thorough eye exam I have ever had. Very professional and the team took the time to share information from all of tests run. That’s important for a patient, to have the doctor and team take the time to explain and inform is hugely refreshing.

It’s going to be impossible to write a review for someone who helped change the trajectory of my son’s life for the better, but I’ll try. After an initial diagnosis we sought a second opinion. The second opinion offered only one practice she would recommend for vision therapy, the gold standard, and that was Dr. Press. We circled back and started the process. While overwhelmed with information to start each question I had was always answered. And our path was set. Easy to schedule appointments and flexible with our family schedule.
The entire team from reception all the way up made us feel

First time patient: 40 MINUTES of waiting inside the exam room for the doctor! Finally I just left....I understand running 15-20 minutes behind but this was just too much. Will not be back.

From my first phone call to schedule an appointment with Jill was easy and very thorough. She informed me what to expect, what my estimated out of pocket expense would be, and that they are out of network with my insurance. However, based on a recommendation of a friend I still wanted to make my appointment with Dr. Press, even being out of my vision network!
The day of my appointment was crazy for me because I was running late and then I didn't have my wallet. Brandy was AMAZING!!! I had my hubby send me pics of what I needed and she never once gave me attitude for coming late and unprepared

I came here after my last eye doctor gave up on trying to find contacts that actually worked for me. I had Lasik twelve years ago after being very nearsighted since childhood, so contacts were difficult after that. I had the most thorough eye exam ever from Dr. Press and an intern and the second pair of contacts they tried were perfect and I can see just as well with them as with my glasses, which is a first!

Our son started seeing Dr. Press last year for Vision Therapy. We were very happy with how he progressed and how we were kept on top of his goals and could see both at home and in the office's testing how he was getting better. Their new office has tons of parking, a good small play space for younger kids, complimentary cold drinks, and the same great service with experienced at their old location, especially with the funny and courteous front staff. There were a few times we had to change months worth of appointments and Brandy was always helpful and cheerful as she helped us navigate

I received the most thorough eye exam I've ever gotten at this place and I've been wearing contacts for 25 years. Dr. Penn figured out I've been wearing the wrong prescription for the last couple years. My last doc told me my eyesight had improved but he had actually messed up somewhere with my exam and prescription. This place also does custom contacts if you have an astigmatism which is pretty cool. Anyway, looking forward to seeing what the world looks like with 20/20 vision again.

I have had nothing but good experiences with North Suburban Vision Consultants. I highly recommend them for all of your vision needs. Dr. Press is an excellent optometrist and help me though a nasty eye infection. His treatment plan was clear and effective. As a doctor, he is personable and thorough - I didn't feel rushed like I have at other doctor's offices.
After deciding that 20 years of contacts was enough, Dr. Press referred me to Dr. Sondheimer for Lasik surgery. Dr. S conducted the initial consultation at his Skokie office and then I scheduled the procedure at their downtown

I started going here a couple of years ago and I am a big fan. It is very convenient for me and they are thorough but efficient. My eye doctor, Dr. Brafman, is great and I actually look forward to my appointments.

I used to go to another eye doctor in the area but I felt the office tried to push me into certain purchases and I saw a lot of tack on fees (ex "you have to have this certain spray with those glasses or else you won't be able to see clearly"...?). Obviously, in this day and age all health related care is going to be expensive, at least I can trust what these doctors

I went here to get my eyes checked and to get glasses. Dr. Press was very professional and the staff was very helpful. They found some issues with my eyes which they corrected for in my contacts. I was very pleased with my experience and will be going back.

I saw Dr. Press for the first time about a month ago after having bounced around from retail eye store doctors for many years. I have been kicking myself for not seeing him sooner. The difference in the exam and bedside manner was night and day.

First, I appreciated that Dr. Press was on time for my first appointment and my second one yesterday. That is a big win in my book. Overall I found him very personable and attentive to my needs, especially the horrible eye allergies I had been suffering from. His course of treatment has worked unlike the eye Dr. I saw for the same issue a year ago
