Sears Optical

The doctor was so good with my daughter for her kindergarten eye exam. We’ve been to the dentist 3 times and she wouldn’t open her mouth, so I wasn’t sure how the eye exam would go, but she loved the Dr. Joe! He was very patient with her and knew how to distract her with humor! She says «that guys too funny!»

Love Dr Joe. He is one of the best doctors of any who I take my kids to. His manner with kids and parents is incredible and he is an amazing doctor !! Recommend him highly if you need glasses or something with your eyes any time!!!

Dr. Joe is the best! Before we started seeing Dr. Joe, we were going to Sears Optical in Wauconda (so many moons ago that I forgot his name). That eye doctor was fantastic too, but he ended up moving to Arizona. Turns out he and Dr. Joe are friends! He gets our prescription perfect every time and he takes his time with you. The front staff changes from time to time. Sometimes their bedside manner isn’t the greatest — it depends on who you get. I was there in February 2015 for my annual exam and it was all new staff who were really courteous and pleasant.
Disclaimer: I’m an employee of Sears Holdings, and our preferred vision provider is Sears Optical. But I would go just for Dr. Joe even if I didn’t work for the company.

Haven’t had my eye’s checked in 6 years so I thought I would give SEARS Optical a try since my wife works for the Home Care division. The whole experience was fantastic! When I called to make an appointment Becky was courteous and gave me multiple choices. I was greeted with a smile when I walked in and Becky promptly took care of me. Within a few minutes I was in the exam room with Dr. Joseph Herba. He was very friendly, warm and cheerful. He explained everything he was doing and really took the time to make sure I got a good exam. Not only is he a good Optometrist, but he’s a good listener. He even cheered me up when I explained I was going through a major life change at 56. I should have asked him if he took calls after hours, LOL
My wife and mother-​in-​law plan on going to see him soon. I would highly recommend him for children and adults of all ages.
Update, got my new glasses and after 3 days I was seeing double after a few hours of wearing them. Made another appointment and they had to redo my prescription because they didn’t take into consideration of my working distance, which I told Dr. Joe on the first visit. However, they were happy to have my prescription remade and so far so good after a day.

The eye doctor was incredible with my 4 year old daughter getting her first vision test before starting kindergarten. I would highly recommend for young kids!
