EyeCareToday

Same-Day Visit

EyeCareToday at our Peoria office provides same day access to eye care for patients ages 5 years and older with acute/urgent eye conditions, or for routine vision exams.

Call ahead to schedule your eye appointment or walk-in to be seen.

Please call 309-243-2400 to schedule your appointment.

EyeCareToday is open Monday-Friday,

8:00am – 4:00pm at our Peoria location:

8921 North Wood Sage Road

Peoria, IL, 61615

An eye care provider will be dedicated to the EyeCareToday schedule each day, and will see all same day appointments and/or walk-ins. Patients may need to see different providers during their same day visit, based on necessity, exam findings, and availability.

During a routine eye exam, your eye doctor will check your vision, screen for eye disease, and/or update your eyeglass or contact lens prescription. Routine eye exams produce a final diagnosis, like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Patients with chronic (long-term) conditions should call our office at 309-243-2400 to make an appointment.

The most common reasons patients visit our eye doctor for urgent care are:
  • Eye infection or injury
  • Corneal scratches
  • Irritation from a foreign object
  • Foreign object stuck in eye
  • Extreme eye allergy symptoms

Curious if you should seek medical care for your eye symptoms?

Here’s a list of eye symptoms that could warrant an EyeCareToday visit:

  • Seeing flashes of light or dark shadows moving across vision

No matter what you need, your eye doctor will use precise diagnostics to gently assess your condition and provide the best treatment.
