Get to know your doctor

A personal connection
to eye care.

Dr. Saher Sayed’s interest in eye care began when she first needed glasses at age 10. She earned her Doctor of Optometry from the Illinois College of Optometry and brings experience in both corporate and private practice to her care at iDoctor.

Her care combines a warm, attentive approach with thorough eye exams and contact lens fittings. Advanced diagnostic technology, including retinal imaging, supports a closer look at eye health. She takes time to listen, explain findings, and tailor recommendations to each patient’s vision needs and lifestyle.

Fluent in English, Spanish, and Urdu, Dr. Sayed welcomes patients of all backgrounds. A lifelong member of the Bloomingdale community, she values her connection to the area and enjoys spending time with her family.

Her approach to your care

Good care starts
with listening.
