Eye Exams in Lake Bluff, IL
Comprehensive vision care and preventive eye health services to help you see clearly and protect your sight for years to come.

Routine Eye Exams
At Forest Bluff Optometry in Lake Bluff, IL, we believe your eye exam should be more than just a vision check- it’s a complete look at your eye health and overall well-being. During your routine exam, Dr. Diana Yin takes the time to listen, understand your visual needs, and assess every aspect of your eyes using the latest technology. Each visit includes non-elective Optos® ultra-widefield retinal imaging, which allows us to capture a detailed view of the back of your eye, often without the need for dilation. This advanced imaging helps us detect early signs of eye disease that could otherwise go unnoticed. By combining state of the art technology with compassionate care, we make sure you leave confident in your vision and cared for as a person, not just a prescription.
Diabetic Eye Exams
A diabetic eye exam is more than just checking your vision; it’s a detailed look at the health of your retina and blood vessels inside the eye, where diabetes can cause silent changes long before you notice symptoms. During this visit, Dr. Diana Yin performs a comprehensive evaluation that includes advanced retinal imaging and scans to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease. We also communicate our findings directly with your primary care physician or endocrinologist to ensure your eye health is part of your overall diabetes management.
Because diabetic eye exams address a medical condition, they are billed to your medical insurance rather than your routine vision plan. Our goal is to protect your sight, detect problems early, and partner with your healthcare team to keep your eyes, and your health, at their best.
Pediatric Eye Exams
At Forest Bluff Optometry in Lake Bluff, IL, we love caring for our youngest patients and helping them see the world clearly from the very start. The American Optometric Association recommends that children have their first comprehensive eye exam by age 1, again at age 3, and before starting kindergarten, then yearly thereafter to ensure healthy visual development and learning success.
Dr. Diana Yin takes a gentle, reassuring approach with every child, helping them feel comfortable and confident during their visit. From fun, age-appropriate testing to patient explanations for parents, we make each exam a positive experience. Early eye exams help detect vision problems before they affect learning or development, giving your child the best start for a lifetime of healthy sight.
Myopia Management
At Forest Bluff Optometry in Lake Bluff, IL, we offer myopia management to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry as the eye elongates in size. When myopia progresses quickly in childhood, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Using proven treatments like the new Essilor Stellest® lenses, MiSight® soft contact lenses, Ortho-Keratology overnight lenses, prescription compounded atropine drops, and other customized strategies, Dr. Diana Yin works closely with families to protect their child’s long-term vision and eye health. By managing myopia early, we can help your child see clearly today while safeguarding their sight for the future.
