If you have VSP vision coverage, you can use it here. Our optometrists, Dr. Maria Pica and Dr. Alexandria Halkias, are VSP network doctors. Both have appointments available right away at our St. Charles and Elgin offices.
Your routine eye exam, close to home
A yearly eye exam does more than update your glasses or contact lens prescription. It's also one of the best ways to catch eye problems early, often before you notice any symptoms. With VSP, a routine exam is usually one of your plan's main benefits, and many people don't use it every year.
Coverage details like copays, eyewear allowances and how often you can get an exam vary by plan. Our front desk team can check your VSP benefits before your visit, so you'll know what to expect.
Meet Dr. Maria Pica, O.D.
Dr. Pica earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Illinois College of Optometry. She has a special focus on myopia control for children, is certified in MiSight® contact lenses, and does advanced contact lens fittings. She also sees patients of all ages for primary eye care and for medical eye problems such as eye infections and dry eye. Newsweek named her one of America's Top 200 Optometrists. She is fluent in Spanish (¡Hablamos español!) and speaks conversational Italian.
Meet Dr. Alexandria Halkias, O.D.
Dr. Halkias has been caring for patients for more than 35 years. She earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Illinois College of Optometry after graduating from Loyola University Chicago. She specializes in advanced contact lens fitting, including multifocal contact lenses. She also provides pediatric and family eye care and treats medical eye conditions such as eye infections and glaucoma.
The advantage of a full ophthalmology practice
At Fox Valley Ophthalmology, your routine exam happens in a practice that also has ophthalmologists who specialize in cataracts, glaucoma and retina care. If your exam turns up something that needs a closer look, you can be seen by a specialist without leaving the practice.
Just keep in mind that vision plans like VSP cover routine eye care. If a visit turns into diagnosing or treating a medical eye condition, it's usually billed to your medical insurance instead. Here's a plain-language explanation of the difference.
