Pearle Vision

Great service and nice people. Good deals on nice glasses and frames.

It was my first visit there and I was seeking a new look. Jeff did an amazing job updating me with some very nice looking frames. I was unsure as to what I wanted but knew I wanted something different than the wire frames I’d been wearing for a long time. Jeff chose a few pairs that went well with my needs and personal style which is rather subtle. I ended up getting a pair of smoky grey plastic frames by Seraphin. They are very stylish and bonus my girlfriend loves them on me. They fit well, are comfortable and while there I also had an exam so I can see better than I have in years. I highly recommend this location and will be returning for my future vision needs.

Service was 5+ stars! They fit me in on their busiest day and did not rush the appointment. Amber, Danny and Vanessa were all very helpful– I do not remember the owner’s name but he took great care of me during my exam and contact fitting. The owner took time to explain the new contact cleaning device they gave me and checked my sight once again after placing in my new contact Rx. I felt pampered –the team they have there is thoughtful, attentive and friendly. Even mailing me my contacts once the order arrives! Turned something I was semi dreading to do and made it into a positive experience. Now I can see clearly again! Thanks for fitting me in today, I sincerely appreciate it!

They take really good care of me every time I visit. Thanks for everything.

Most of my reviews are of hotels or restaurants, but the service at this Pearle Vision is worthy of comment. I brought my 7 year-​old daughter here for her annual appointment (she wears glasses), and decided to leave LensCrafters in the Loop to have my annual check-​up at the same time as hers.
Dr. Andrea Johnson Grote has an excellent way about her, and she made my daughter’s transition into glasses a pleasant experience. As for me, she gave me several contact samples to try out different brands to see which feel better in my eyes while also correcting my astygmatism.
We bought frames/​lenses for my daughter too, and the owner of this store couldn’t have been more of a gentlemen. He worked with our insurance to make the appointment and lenses affordable. We didn’t feel rushed and our glasses were made in less than an hour.
Consummate professionals all around (there were others whose names I simply can’t recall), and I highly recommend this store to anyone who lives in the city that needs eye care or eyewear.

Top notch service fixing my sunglasses! I came in without an appointment and I walked out of its them looking like new in less than two minutes.

Dr. Ralph Geiderman was awesome to say the least. The staff at this location really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable in my new contacts. I have been wearing glasses for years, so they let me try 2 brands before deciding which ones I liked to buy! You don’t find too many businesses these days who care more about the customer than the bottom line.
I would recommend this location of Pearl Vision to all me friends.
Thank you Dr. Geiderman!

Very very glad I went to this place to get my glasses,
I was in a rush to get the glasses the same day because I had a depth perception exam the following day and my old glasses had broken. Guys makes sure that when you come here ask for Jeff .I repeat ASK FOR JEFF. Jeff is a very professional yet friendly person, I know professional and friendly are oxymoron but if you don’t believe me go meet him.
I went in at 6:40, closing time is 7:00. The receptionist was very nice .I told her I was short on budget but I don’t want regular glasses, I want something that stands out.
Jeff helped me pick up spectacles that were nice and in my budget
Thank you Jeff and thank you Pearle, I will be coming to you guys again. I don’t know about anyone else, but you guys totally understand College students who don’t want to spend too much on spectacles.

I decided to go here for three reasons. A. They take VSP, B. The proximity to my house, and C. The reviews. I now know why there is a consistent consensus that the staff here is just amazing… because they are. I’ve been working with Doctor Andrea for a few weeks now, and she has been incredibly patient with me while I try to fit contacts for my astigmatism. Bare in mind, this is my first time ever being fitted for contacts. The experience has been extremely down to earth and personal, and every staff member I’ve worked with, in person, or on the phone has been eager to help me out. Thanks so much guys!

I thank you so much for the extra effort in sending me the eye drop samples. You saved my eyes on my wedding day on a 100 degree+ day in Vegas. I had no itchy, squinty eyes, and wore my contacts all day and into the night. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Everyone here is so helpful. I was a little hesitant going to a «chain store» but all the staff there provided us with individualized attention and personalized care!

i can see again! Thank you, Dr Beth and the sweet staff at Pearl Vision.
I was very impressed with how everyone working seemed to sincerely care.
It feels great to see clearly again.
Thanks again!

I just took my son here to get his eyes checked to start kindergarten. They were the nicest people ever! My son met with Amber first and she was so fun and nice. She made him feel like he was playing «games». I also complained to Amber that I have the hardest time finding sunglasses because I have a small head. She said she had the same issue and let me try on several pairs of her own glasses! AMAZING!
Dr. Mokaya finished the exam with my son. She relates
very well to children and made him feel comfortable about the process. My son said it was FUN when we left! I would highly recommend Pearl Vision on Lincoln!

So, here’s a funny/​sad story.
I had the same glasses/​contacts Rx for roughly 2 years. I started to realize that, soon after getting this Rx (NOT from Pearle, mind you, but from a shall-​remain-​unnamed place that definitely does not rhyme with Schmens Schmafters), I really couldn’t see all that well. Now, one would think you’d be like «hey, this isn’t right!» … but not me. I was all «well, maybe THIS is how I’m supposed to see?» … Anyway. One day about a month ago, my boyfriend asked for some help with Excel, so I went to the computer to try to help him, «Hold on a second,» I said, «I need to put on my glasses.» I return, put on my glasses, only to realize I ALREADY HAD MY CONTACTS IN and just couldn’t see. Needless to say, the next call I made was to Pearle Vision for a new checkup.
Fast forward, I meet with the doctor (unfortunately I don’t remember which she was, but she was SUPER nice) and sure enough, my Rx has been pretty wrong this entire time.
Jeff helped me pick out my frames & was insanely helpful… very patient with my indecisiveness & giving great feedback, and even had a specific frame sent to the store so I could try it on a week later before purchasing. He helped me with the price & figuring out my insurance & all that jazz, so that was much appreciated as well.
I left Pearle with a new Rx, new contacts, new glasses & Rx sunglasses, along with a new revolution of SEEING! I think I was so overjoyed to see, that I wanted all the things to enjoy this newfound sense of mine. They even fixed my old glasses so they weren’t falling off my face.
Man, I sound like a hot mess.
Either way, everyone here is great. I had a wonderful experience & I’ll definitely be going back for future needs.

If you are looking for your first pair of glasses, this is the place to go. Vanessa did an incredible job at explaining how different types of frames would work with my face (or not), she was very patient and was not trying to hard sale at all. I’m very happy with my new glasses

I booked an appointment pretty late in the day, and I was late, AND my new vision insurance caused some problems yet still everyone I encountered was awesome. I haven’t been to the eye dr in quite some time and I found out I needed bifocals (ugh), but Amber and Dr. Mokaya made me feel very comfortable about it and showed me how far that technology has come. You can’t even tell. Another thing, I love my current frames, but obviously need new lenses… they can build the lenses for your existing frames! Did you know this?! Am I behind? Whatever, I’m happy.
Nice team, fun interaction, secret bifocals. A+

Everyone at this location is great and extremely helpful! I would recommend this location to anyone in the Chicagoland area.

Such a great place! Everyone I encountered (and observed) here was so pleasant and patient. No hard selling, just a genuine desire to help you find the best contacts/​glasses for your insurance and budget.
Appreciated them staying open late to cut my glasses on a Saturday night during the holiday season as well!

If there were 10 stars available to give, I would grant them willingly. After sitting in epic traffic only to get there within 8 minutes of closing, I arrived expecting to just start the process then come back on Saturday to actually get the lenses I needed for my existing frames. They had the lenses in stock and blew me away by saying they’d get then done tonight! Twenty minutes later, I had a pair of perfectly cut lenses back in my super cute frames and I was ready to go.
Amazingly nice staff, easy parking (street and behind the building) and an incredibly pleasant experience. I know where I will go in the future!

I had Dr. Beth, and she was the perfect combination of friendly (but not overly friendly) and professional. I was in and out quickly. I was worried beforehand that I would have trouble parking, so I scheduled my exam during a weekday — no issue parking out front.
I fell in love with some Warby Parker glasses online ($ 95 versus the $ 300 ones here), and they didn’t pressure me to buy anything. Instead they just printed out my prescription and wished me a good day.
I overheard an elderly woman come in and complain about her glasses (I think she got them somewhere else a long time ago) and she rudely asked if there were any buy-​one-​get-​one deals here. While I don’t think there were any deals available, the sales person was more friendly with her than I would have been and said they would help her out with something.
I ding a star because the whole time there was a man loitering around and talking very loudly to everyone, at one point talking about some woman he once dated. He was wearing old jeans and flip flops, and then I happened to notice that he was actually an optometrist — and the owner nonetheless. I guess I just expected him to dress and act more professionally because I was pretty put-​off.
Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to coming back.
