Who we are and what separates us from the competition

Have you ever been to an eyecare practice where you felt underappreciated and your eye exam was rushed? This is one of the main complaints that we have heard from our growing patient population and the main reason why they decided to make the switch to our private practice in Woodridge, Illinois.

One of the biggest issues with the state of modern optometry is the growth of online retailers as well as private equity groups taking over private practices. These two factors are decreasing the amount of personalized care that patients are used to receiving from their eye doctors in previous years. The obvious appeal to go to these online retailers or commercial retail practices is the cheaper costs. However, cheaper is not al

ways better, and that holds true for your vision.

What separates us from the competition is we prioritize the patient first rather than their wallet. It is reported and documented that vision is the number

1 sense that people value the most. At Mint Vision, the health of your eyes is our number 1 priority. From medically based eye exams to educating patients on proper eye hygiene, our patients have raved about the thoroughness of our eye exams. This allows us to practice optometry to the fullest scope in Illinois and can help treat and manage ocular diseases in house.

Not only do we offer state or the art medical care for your eyes, but quality eyewear that wont break the bank. Another complaint th

at we have heard from our patients and why they made the switch to our practice is overpaying for eyewear or being up-charged. There are some practices that implement astronomical up-charges that give other practices a bad reputation. We offer different levels of products

based on your budget as well as needs. This allows YOU to be the main driver for your optical experience at our practice.

Overall, I could type a novel on reasons why people should make the switch to our practice but we would rather have you come in for an exam and see it for yourself. We are happy to be apart of the community and hope to be ingrained in it for years to come! Thank you to our established patients and appreciate your support throughout the past few years. Stay tuned for more blogs that we will be posting weekly!
