Optometrist with over a decade of clinical eye care experience. Four year undergraduate education at Lake Forest College, then attending a four year graduate school program for Doctor of Optometry degree at the Illinois College of Optometry and an additional year long training in Ocular Disease at a VA Hospital.
Appointments are by request, evening and weekend hours are available for all patients, tele medicine exams available for all patients; home health is available if patient is not new to the office.
Office space is in the Roscoe Village Chicago area on Bel, contact below for specific information. Mobile eye exam set up is available given portable eye exam equipment (especially for small businesses that have health days for their staff in the office).
At Willow Vision Health, we provide thorough eye exams to assess the health of your eyes and detect any vision problems.
We offer a selection of eyeglasses and contact lenses to meet your vision needs.
If you have an eye condition such as dry eye, eye infection, eye trauma, our office can provide effective treatment options to manage your symptoms and improve your vision.
We provide eye care for children of all ages. Please when making an appointment, let us know if your child needs more time. Dr. Karina wants to help children with any level of comfort with doctor visits; whether a child needs non verbal accommodations or has any neuro divergent condition requiring modification from the conventional exam steps, every effort will be made to address those accommodations. As someone with adult ADHD herself, Dr. Karina understands that the mind works different for everyone and it should never deter ability to complete a comprehensive eye exam.
Considering laser corrective surgery? Option for refractive surgery procedure can be discussed. Dr. KARINA FULTON worked in an office with ophthalmologists focusing on preliminary and post operative exams.
Portable equipment is available to complete a comprehensive eye exam. Option is available for on site comprehensive eye exams for small businesses employees.
Integrative comprehensive eye exams are available. Our office welcomes patients of all age groups, with a strong emphasis on pediatric eye care as how vision affects learning and behavioral health. There is so much more to good vision health than being able to read the 20/20 line on the eye chart.
Please call the office to discuss in detail exact fees and insurance information. Currently we are waiting to be signed up to several plans, but the service model is predominantly independent pay WITHOUT corporate vision plans (examples: no VSP, no Davis, no Eyemed). Itemized receipt is provided upon request with proper billing codes to submit for out of network benefits mailed to patient from corporate insurance companies. Vision insurance companies make profit with patients' premiums and give a fraction of an actual deserved service fee to the doctors. For that reason and due to the rising costs of living, eliminating the middle step of insurance has been a route many doctors when possible. This way doctor is able to provide longer than a 15-minute visit. I recommend adding up cost of paying for vision insurance plan each month and compare that cost with a COMPREHENSIVE exam in our office. GLASSES PRESCRIPTION EXAM is $ 100 (ADDITIONAL cost for CONTACT LENS FITTING based on the complexity of the contact lens fit and time spent). I also work with affordable local labs, so I do not exaggerate prices for frame and lenses as many offices affiliated with corporate profits tend to do.
In order to provide a personalized exam, the care is fee for service set up as when people go for their hairstyle change, manicure/pedicure or any other beatification investment. We schedule in a way where you have time with the doctor as needed to address the issue, even if it takes 30-50 minutes for a comprehensive eye exam appointment with the doctor entirety of that time compared to the more commonly seen set up with exams every 15-20 minutes with a lot of that part is spent with preliminary testing staff and not the doctor.
. Even for medical exams for infection or trauma, cost of care with us is less than with major medical plans if going to the ER and treatment is more effective because we have a slit lamp tool most ER offices do not. For a COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM, our prices are less than average cost of PARTIAL highlights; fees are based on the level of expertise needed and amount of time spent with the doctor.
Given the trends for the past decades of VISION insurance reimbursements not changing as the cost of everything else rising, it is difficult for optometry offices to agree to contract with insurance companies that take advantage of their labor. For vision care companies, reimbursements to the doctors at times come weeks later or are partially paid, making it difficult for drs to maintain everyday costs. Raising awareness of corporate greed is key to changing our systems. Thank you for your time in reading this section.
