Atwater Eyecare Center

A perfect ending… Sat evening while removing one of my soft contact lens it broke and a third of it remained in my eye. I could not see it to remove it but could feel it. Long story short I went to the Clinic Mon afternoon to see if they could have someone look at my eye. The Clinic was very busy but they worked me in to be seen. A intern did a very thorough exam but could not find it. She then had Dr Susan Kovacich take another look just in case she might have missed it. And it had lodged way up under my eye lid which Dr Kovacich removed. Thank you to both of them!

I’ve been to Atwater twice now. I had a weird, red eye issue that they solved. I swear I had this issue back when I lived in Chicago and the optometrist just told me to use more eye drops. This place actually took care of me.
The first visit the student who looked at my eyes couldn’t identify the issue after putting dye and using some bright lights in them. She was very friendly and got the doctor/​professor after examining as much as she could. The doctor identified the issue quickly and got me prescription drops and requested a follow-​up a week later. A week later, I saw a different student who looked at my eyes extensively again and then the same doctor came back. They gave me samples of new contact solution and drops and seem to have solved my issue. It’s been nearly a month, and I have an upcoming appointment for a regular eye exam.
I like Atwater Eye Care because it’s very close to campus. I’ve never had to wait very long, and I kind of like that two people look at you each time. It may take slightly longer, but I couldn’t really tell.

Getting your eyes checked by a fellow student sounds a little scary but the person I had did a great job. The exam does take a little longer than an exam at commercial clinic but they do a great job.
My previous eye doctor told me to wear my contact lenses less since it was doing something to my eyes. They told me that wasn’t the problem it was the lenses instead. They let me try out two different pairs of lenses and wear the ones I felt the most comfortable with.
Probably one of the best eye exams I have had since you get your eyes examined and then checked again by a professor.
The price wasn’t bad either at $ 90 minus $ 35 with the IU health insurance.
