Schedule ConsultationAt Kraff Eye Institute, we offer a comprehensive range of vision correction procedures tailored to your unique needs. Our primary focus is LASIK eye surgery, where we utilize the latest VISX laser technology to provide precise, customized vision correction.
Beyond LASIK, we also offer PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), an alternative laser vision correction procedure for patients who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK. Each treatment is performed by Dr. Colman Kraff, who brings over 35 years of ophthalmological expertise to every procedure across Chicago’s neighborhoods.
Your decision to travel from Kenilworth to our downtown Chicago location comes with distinct advantages. As one of only ten eye care centers nationwide participating in FDA clinical trials for new laser vision technology, we offer access to the most advanced treatment options available.
Our facility has successfully performed over 70,000 laser procedures since 1991, establishing a legacy of excellence that makes the short trip from Kenilworth worthwhile. Dr. Kraff's pioneering role in laser eye surgery, being the first ophthalmologist in the Chicagoland area to perform VISX Excimer Laser procedures, ensures you're receiving care from a true industry leader.
Our facility is situated in a landmark building at 25 E Washington Street, surrounded by Chicago's vibrant downtown atmosphere. The building features convenient indoor parking access via the adjacent Grant Park North Garage.
You'll find our modern suite on the 6th floor, where floor-to-ceiling windows offer calming views of the city while you wait. The building is nestled among notable landmarks including Millennium Park to the east, the Chicago Cultural Center across the street, and the historic Marshall Field's Building just steps away.
For your comfort after surgery, consider staying at the nearby Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown, just two blocks from our office. The Virgin Hotels Chicago offers another luxurious option within walking distance.
For dining, you'll find excellent options right in our building's vicinity, including The Dearborn for upscale American cuisine and Cherry Circle Room for a refined atmosphere. These locations are perfect for relaxing after your procedure, especially since we recommend minimal travel immediately following surgery.
Ready to take the first step toward clearer vision? Contact Kraff Eye Institute at 312-757-7335 to schedule your consultation. Our office at 25 E Washington St Ste 606, Chicago, IL 60602 is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We look forward to showing you why so many Kenilworth residents trust us with their vision care needs.
While LASIK can be performed on adults 18 and older, we typically recommend waiting until age 21 when vision has fully stabilized. For Kenilworth residents considering LASIK, we evaluate each case individually, taking into account factors like prescription stability and overall eye health. There's no upper age limit, though we carefully assess eye health conditions that become more common with age.
The actual LASIK procedure takes only about 15 minutes per eye. However, for Kenilworth patients making the trip downtown, plan to spend about two hours at our facility for preparation and initial recovery. The brevity of the procedure means you can easily return home or to a nearby hotel the same day, though we recommend having someone drive you.
This is a common concern among our Kenilworth patients, but there's no need to worry. Our advanced VISX laser system includes sophisticated eye-tracking technology that follows your eye's movements 4,000 times per second. (1)
“...LASIK offered outcomes with good safety standards in the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism throughout the 12-year observation period.”
If you move your eye during the procedure, the laser automatically adjusts or pauses to ensure precise treatment. This technology, combined with Dr. Kraff's extensive experience, ensures safe and accurate results regardless of minor eye movements.
