• Exclusive Designer Collections: Forget generic displays—our handpicked eyewear selection features brands like Cartier, Oliver Peoples, Gucci, Prada, Tom Ford, and more. You’ll find frames and sunglasses rarely seen at big-box opticals in Glen Ellyn.
• Advanced Technology: We use Optikam digital measurements to ensure every pair of sunglasses or prescription lenses fits exactly as it should—even if you need high-index, progressive, or specialty lenses.
• Easy Insurance Experience: We accept major plans (VSP, Eyemed, Cigna, Superior Vision, Aetna, Blue Cross, DavisVision, NVA, Spectera, Medicare, United Healthcare Vision), making top-tier sunglass protection affordable for Glen Ellyn households. We’ll help you maximize your benefits without the hassle.

We’re located at 132 E. Army Trail Rd. in Glendale Heights, just a short drive (about 10-15 minutes) from Glen Ellyn via North Avenue or Army Trail Road. We routinely serve patients from neighborhoods near Lake Ellyn, downtown Glen Ellyn, and close to Glenbard West High School.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Eyes and Choosing the Right Sunglasses in Glen Ellyn

• Always Look for 100% UVA/UVB Protection: Even when clouds roll in over Lake Ellyn or the Prairie Path, UV rays can damage your eyes. All sunglasses at iDoctor meet or exceed current ANSI UV standards.
• Consider Polarized Lenses for Outdoor Activities: Whether you’re driving along Roosevelt Road, cheering at Memorial Field, or biking with the family, polarized lenses cut glare, enhance contrast, and help you see comfortably in the sun.
• Make Prescription Sunglasses a Priority: Don’t settle for clip-ons or risky over-the-glasses options. Prescription sunglasses mean you’ll enjoy safe, sharp vision for ballgames at Newton Park, kids’ soccer matches, and everyday life.
• Choose Lens Tints & Coatings for Your Lifestyle:
  • Grey: Best for true color and all-purpose sunwear.
  • Brown/Copper: Increases contrast—great for sports.
  • Mirrored/Gradient: Fashion-forward and ideal for bright summer days out in Glen Ellyn parks.
  • Photochromic: Adapts from indoor to outdoor—perfect if you want sun protection and indoor wear in one lens.
• Prioritize Fit—Especially for Kids: Even the best sun lens is ineffective if frames slip or fit poorly. We custom fit for the unique needs of every Glen Ellyn child, athlete, or adult patient—ensuring comfort at recess, on the field, or running errands downtown.
• Don’t Forget Seasonal Eye Care: Summer brings intense sunlight and allergy season in Glen Ellyn. Ask us about anti-allergy solutions and sunglasses that protect your eyes from wind and pollen as well as sun.
