Cirugía ocular LASIK en Waukegan, IL

At Kraff Eye Institute, we provide a complete range of vision correction procedures tailored to your specific requirements:

LASIK eye surgery is our most popular procedure, using advanced laser technology to reshape your cornea and correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our state-of-the-art VISX laser system delivers precise results with minimal recovery time.

We also offer PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), an excellent alternative for patients whose corneal thickness or other factors make them better candidates for this approach rather than traditional LASIK.

For patients over 40 experiencing presbyopia (difficulty reading up close), we provide monovision LASIK and advanced lens replacement options that can reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses.

Implantable contact lenses (ICLs) serve as an innovative solution for those with severe refractive errors who may not be ideal candidates for laser procedures.

Each treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation where we determine the best approach for your unique vision profile and lifestyle needs.

Unparalleled Expertise Just Minutes From Your Bensenville Home

What sets Kraff Eye Institute apart from other vision correction centers near Bensenville is our unmatched experience and innovation in the field. Dr. Colman Kraff was the first ophthalmologist in the Chicagoland area to perform the VISX Excimer Laser procedure and brings over 35 years of specialized experience to your care.

Our center has performed more than 70,000 laser procedures since 1991, establishing ourselves as leaders in vision correction technology. As one of only ten eye care centers nationwide participating in FDA clinical trials for new laser vision technology, we offer Bensenville patients living near Redmond Park and the Bensenville Water Park & Splash Pad access to the most advanced treatment options available.

The journey from your home near White Pines Golf Course or the North Industrial District to our downtown Chicago location is a worthwhile investment in your vision. Many of our Bensenville patients from neighborhoods like Mohawk and Forestview find that the convenience of a single day trip down I-290 for their procedure far outweighs the lifetime cost and hassle of glasses and contacts. With our streamlined evaluation and treatment process, you can often complete your initial consultation and schedule your procedure all within the same visit, allowing you to be back home near York Road or Green Street by evening.

Inside Our Chicago Location

When you arrive at Kraff Eye Institute in downtown Chicago, you'll find yourself in the heart of the bustling Loop district. Our practice is housed in a professional medical building at 25 E Washington Street, Suite 606, just steps from the iconic State Street shopping corridor. The historic Chicago Theatre marquee serves as a convenient landmark, visible from our building entrance.

The surrounding area offers plenty of amenities for our patients. The Block 37 shopping center across the street provides convenient dining options for before or after your appointment. Millennium Park and its famous Cloud Gate sculpture (The Bean) are just three blocks east, offering a pleasant place to relax before heading back to Bensenville.

Our sixth-floor suite features a comfortable reception area with panoramic views of the city. The treatment areas are equipped with the latest diagnostic and surgical technology in a calming environment designed to put you at ease throughout your vision correction journey.

Getting to Kraff Eye Institute

  • From central Bensenville near the intersection of Irving Park Road and York Road, head south on York Road past the Bensenville Public Library and Fischer Farm
  • Continue on York Road for approximately 2 miles until you reach I-290 E/Eisenhower Expressway near the Elmhurst border
  • Enter I-290 E and continue for about 14 miles (expect 20-30 minute delays during morning rush hour between 7-9 AM, particularly near the O'Hare interchange)
  • As you pass the Hillside area, stay in the middle lanes to avoid exit-only lanes
  • Take exit 51H toward Congress Parkway/Loop after passing through Oak Park
  • Continue onto W Congress Pkwy, passing the Willis Tower on your right
  • Turn left onto S State St and continue for 3 blocks, passing Harold Washington Library
  • Turn left onto E Washington St
  • Kraff Eye Institute is located at 25 E Washington St, Suite 606, on your right, just past the Macy's department store

For parking, we recommend the Underground Grant Park Garages (enter on Michigan Ave) or the Block 37 Garage (enter on Dearborn St) for all-day rates lower than street parking – many Bensenville patients prefer the Block 37 Garage for its direct building access during winter months

Commuter Options from Bensenville

  • Metra: Take the Milwaukee District/West Line from the Bensenville Metra Station (located at Railroad Ave & Center St) to Union Station (approximately 30 minutes). We recommend the 8:19 AM train from Bensenville which arrives at Union Station at 8:54 AM, perfect timing for a 10:00 AM appointment
  • From Union Station, walk east on Jackson Blvd for 4 blocks, then north on State Street for 3 blocks to Washington St
  • CTA: Alternatively, take Pace Bus #332 from Bensenville to the CTA Blue Line Rosemont Station, then ride the Blue Line to Washington Station, which is just one block from our office
  • Rideshare: Uber or Lyft from Bensenville Community Public Library or Blackhawk Middle School typically costs $35-45 one-way and takes approximately 30-40 minutes depending on traffic
  • Many Bensenville patients coordinate with the NEDSRA transportation service for post-procedure rides if they have qualifying conditions

Recommended Downtown Accommodations

If you're scheduling your LASIK eye surgery and want to avoid the return trip to Bensenville immediately after your procedure, several excellent accommodation options are available near our office:

The Palmer House Hilton is just one block south on State Street, offering historic elegance and convenient access to our office for your next-day follow-up appointment. Several Bensenville patients have mentioned enjoying the hotel's proximity to Millennium Park for relaxing walks after their procedure.

The Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown is three blocks away and provides comfortable, moderately-priced rooms with complimentary breakfast – a favorite among our Bensenville patients who drive in from the Wood Dale border area.

For dining, The Gage on Michigan Avenue offers upscale comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere, while Sweetwater Tavern and Grille provides casual American fare reminiscent of Bensenville favorites like Green Street Grille but with a wider selection of beverages. Both are within walking distance of our office and the recommended hotels.

Many Bensenville patients who normally commute on I-290 find that staying overnight eliminates stress about morning traffic and allows them to rest immediately following their procedure, which is beneficial for healing and comfort. This is especially true for patients coming from northern Bensenville near O'Hare who would otherwise face significant traffic during rush hour.
