General Practitioners

Arthritis
Emergency Care
If you require immediate attention, please call us at (309) 243-2400. After hours, our answering service will contact us on your behalf. Depending on the severity of your situation, you may need to go to the Emergency Department at the hospital. The emergency department physician will examine you and then contact us.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
The optic nerve is made up of a large number of nerve fibers, like an electric cable containing a huge number of wires. Glaucoma can damage nerve fibers causing blind spots to develop. Usually people don’t notice these blind areas until much of the optic nerve damage has already occurred. If the entire nerve is destroyed, blindness results. Early detection and treatment by a qualified ophthalmologist are the keys to preventing optic nerve damage and blindness from glaucoma.
Ophthalmology
You will see an eye care provider who has completed training in either optometry or ophthalmology. Your eye care provider will use their extensive experience and cutting-edge diagnostics to get to the root of your symptoms, and recommend an appropriate course of treatment.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is damage or breakdown of the macula. The macula is a small area at the back of the eye that allows us to see fine details clearly. When the macula doesn’t function correctly, we experience blurriness or darkness in the center of our vision. Macular degeneration affects both distance and close vision, and can make some activities – like threading a needle or reading – difficult or impossible.
Laser Eye Surgery
CareCredit® is the credit card exclusively for healthcare services. CareCredit® offers low monthly payment plans for healthcare procedures not commonly covered by insurance, including LASIK. Don’t put off improving your vision – get your procedure now!
Cataracts
Illinois Eye Center’s satellite office in Kewanee opened in 2019 to provide cataract services to additional communities outside of the Peoria Tri-County area.
Cataract Surgery
Our doctors will work with you to help you decide when cataract surgery is needed. Generally, you will want to consider surgery when your cataracts have progressed enough to seriously impair your vision and affect your daily life. Many people consider poor vision an inevitable fact of aging, but cataract surgery is a simple, relatively painless procedure to regain vision, and cataract surgery recovery is a fairly simple process.
Eye Exam
During a routine eye exam, an eye doctor will assess your medical history and then complete a series of tests to determine the overall health of your eyes. Routine exams should take place periodically to ensure optimum visual health. We recommend the following guidelines (Should you have any eye problems or risk factors, you may need to see your eye doctor more often than recommended below)...

Neurology
Neuro-ophthalmologists have unique training in both ophthalmology and neurology. They care for patients with vision issues related to the brain, nerves, and muscles.
Multiple Sclerosis

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
If you have diabetes, you are at risk for developing diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss. Diabetes can cause weakening of the tiny, delicate blood vessels in your retina. If you develop retinopathy, it may cause leakage or closure of capillaries (tiny blood vessels) or growth of new weak capillaries. There are two main types of diabetic retinopathy: nonproliferative retinopathy (blood vessels leak and then close) and proliferative retinopathy (new, weak blood vessels grow, or proliferate).

General Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
You may only know BOTOX® as a wrinkle treatment, but botulinum toxin type A was used to treat medical problems, such as Blepharospasm (abnormal spasms of the eyelid), years before it was used for cosmetic purposes.
Brow Lift
Eyelid Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery, called blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both, and give a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested.
Plastic Surgery
Oculoplastic Surgeons are ophthalmologists who have additional, specialized training in plastic surgery of the region around the eye. They repair eyelids, tear drainage system damage, and also focus on the bones and other structures around the eye. In the office, they perform medical injections around the eyes and face to improve the function of facial structures.
