Our Story

A family-owned practice serving the Chicago Western Suburbs for over 50 years. In 1959 Dr. Samuel C. Vitale started the practice in Addison, Illinois. His son Dr. James A. Vitale joined the practice in 1986, and in 2021 third generation Dr. Jessica A. Vitale joined the practice.

Dr. James Vitale serves as an adjunct clinical assistant professor for Midwestern University Chicago College of Optometry. His focus is on the total health of the eye, treating infections, diseases, and injuries to the eye.

Dr. Jessica Vitale specializes in Medical Optometry, and her areas of interest include Dry Eye Syndrome, Glaucoma, Specialty Contact Lenses, and Pediatrics.

Our doctors provide comprehensive eye exams that allow each patient to achieve optimum vision. They use state of the art equipment, including digital photography, visual fields, and OCT scanning for macular generation and glaucoma. We co-manage cataract and LASIK surgeries working closely with some of the best surgeons in the Chicagoland area.

Our selection of eyewear ranges from modestly priced to the top designers. We frequently seek out new designer frames for those looking for the newest trends. Our trained staff works closely with our patients to achieve maximum satisfaction.

Our in-house lab and full-time optician make it convenient for our patients to fill their prescriptions in a timely fashion.

For those contact lens wearers our doctors fit a large variety of lenses including scleral lenses for keratoconus and dry eye syndrome. Patients are given trial lenses at no cost before the final prescription is settled upon.
