SoLo Eye Care & Eyewear Gallery - Michigan Ave

My eye doctor retired so I had to find a new doctor. I’m glad I found this place. It’s conveniently located in the South Loop and decor and ambiance is very welcoming. I didn’t have to wait more than a minute to be seen which I appreciate in a business. The staff was also great and a special shout out to Dr. Will. He was friendly and very knowledgeable and made the whole experience very pleasant by answering all of my questions. They also have high tech equipment which allowed me to see the back of my eye which was cool. I highly recommend going with this place for your vision needs. I walked away feeling like I got a thorough exam and that my future eye health will be in good hands. 🙌

I was a regular customer for the 10 years I lived in Chicago, and was very pleased with the excellent medical, technical and style advice I received from Dr. Bob and Michael. I moved abroad seven years ago, and have continued to rely on their advice from a far. Buying glasses in Spain is a unique process, requiring a different level of knowledge from the customer. Both Dr. Bob and Michael offered timely, spot-on advice that helped me successfully navigate my purchase following cataract surgery. They went above and beyond their typical exceptional customer service…..I didn’t even think that was possible. A million thanks!

I have been going to Solo for years! Dr. Bob has always been amazing and my kids adore Dr. Val! She is kind and gentle with my son with special needs! I have been recently seeing Dr. Greg and it is refreshing knowing that he has stepped into Dr. Bob’s role seamlessly! The staff is stellar and the space is inviting. I love Solo Eye Care!

Just had lenses made for my father's prescription glasses and brought our own frames. Staff were incredibly helpful and the customer service was impeccable. Absolute clinic in how a local business should be operated. Ask for Christina! She's amazing and very knowledgeable! It smells really nice in there, too! Reminds me of the Australian coast haha

THIS IS NOT A COMMENT ON THE DOCTOR OR VISION EXAMS. The staff was totally pleasant and no problems there whatsoever. I didn't get my vision checked during this visit. I have my current prescription and checked out SoLo because they accept my new insurance and I'm browsing for new frames. First of all, I realize this place has "gallery" in its name. I didn't understand why I couldn't walk in and browse frames without an appointment. I checked in (!) and waited 20 minutes before I could look at the frames. As someone that needs to wear glasses, I've always found the process of selecting frames agonizing enough: what looks good on me but might also get smashed at a concert? After 20 minutes wait, I come to find that frames aren't priced, leaving me to select solely on aesthetics. Gross. I'm not trying to find five pairs that look good on me only to learn that's they cost $500 apiece. I'm also in the market for a new pair of prescription sunglasses; cost is absolutely a consideration. I left immediately. I hate feeling less-than when trying to make a carefully-considered purchase for something I need. My glasses aren't an accessory. Save the no-price gimmick for the MP of the fish of the day at Chicago Firehouse.
