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
