General Practitioners

Arthritis
Some causes of dry eye include side effects from medications for allergies, anxiety, beta-blockers and blood pressure, diseases like thyroid disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Lifestyle causes include dry climates, smoky environments, long-term contact lens use, looking at computers, smartphones, tablets, and engaging in activities that reduce blinking.
Primary Care
Please contact your insurance carrier to determine if Geneva Eye Clinic is contracted with your specific health plan. If you are covered by an HMO plan, please contact your Primary Care Physician to obtain a referral and prior authorization before your appointment.
Emergency Care
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye condition with increased pressure in the inner eye (intraocular pressure, IOP) due to excess fluid buildup that ultimately causes damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. It is considered the “silent thief of vision” as it slowly and progressively damages your sight.
Ophthalmology
All our ophthalmologists are certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. They have all completed extensive training in a subspecialty fellowship. Our optometrist is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is damage or breakdown of the macula, the small part of the retina responsible for central vision. It affects both distance and close vision and can make some activities like threading a needle or reading very difficult or impossible. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe visual loss in people over 65.
Laser Eye Surgery
Geneva Eye Clinic is a state-of-the-art comprehensive eye care center of excellence, dedicated to rendering compassionate eye care for the entire family. Our experienced ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians and technicians offer patients the highest level of optical, specialty treatment and eye surgery procedures in Kane County, from routine eye care to complex eyesight issues.
Cataracts
A cataract is a loss of transparency, or clouding, of the eye lens. The eye lens plays a vital role in focusing images on the retina. A cloudy lens interferes with light passing through to the retina, the light-sensing layer of cells at the back of the eye. Compare a cataract to looking at the world through a foggy or blurry window. Light rays do not focus clearly if the lens loses its clarity, as it does when a cataract develops. Glasses or contact lenses cannot sharpen vision if a cataract is present.
Cataract Surgery
A refraction checks the prescription of your eyes and can be used to obtain glasses. A refraction test might be included even if you do not wish to get new glasses. Performing refraction shows the doctor your best-corrected vision and the best vision you can attain. A decrease in visual acuity can be the first sign that something is wrong. Knowing your best-corrected vision can help the doctor monitor changes in eye conditions or help to decide when cataract surgery is necessary. For children, especially preverbal children, the eye doctor will use additional expertise to perform this specialized measurement, whether or not the child ultimately requires glasses.
Eye Exam
The retina is the layer of cells that line the back of the inner wall of your eye. Our retinas sense light and send signals to our brain to see. Many different eye disorders affect the retina. Retinal diseases are detected during your annual comprehensive eye exam.

Mental Health
Protected health information (PHI), about you, is maintained as a written and/or electronic record of your contacts or visits for healthcare services with our practice. Specifically, PHI is information about you, including demographic information (i.e., name, address, phone, etc.), that may identify you and relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health condition and related healthcare services.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Diabetic Retinopathy
Vitrectomy surgery is a specialized procedure (done off-site via referral) to treat severe eye injuries, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, macular puckers (wrinkling of the retina), and macular holes.

Radiology
Illinois Public Act 96-1523 bans balance billing for anesthesiology, emergency, neonatology, pathology and radiology services provided at in-network hospitals or ambulatory surgery centers. Patients must be billed as though in-network providers furnished such services for cost sharing purposes. The law does not apply to ERISA health plans or to group or individual health plans that are self-funded.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Strabismus is often treated by surgically adjusting the tension on the eye muscles. The goal of surgery is to get the eyes close enough to be perfectly straight that it is hard to see any residual deviation. Surgery usually improves the conditions though the results are rarely perfect. Results are generally better in young children. Surgery can be done with local anesthesia in some adults but requires general anesthesia in children, usually outpatient. In some cases, prisms and Botox injections of the eye muscles are alternatives to surgery. Eye exercises rarely help.
Brow Lift
Swelling and bruising, typical after a brow lift or forehead lift, subside in seven to 14 days. Numbness and itching are expected during the healing process. Sutures are removed within seven to ten days after surgery. Incisions in the hairline may damage hair follicles and result in some hair loss.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is usually performed outpatient using local anesthesia to repair ectropion or entropion. After surgery, an eye patch is generally worn, and antibiotic ointment is prescribed.
Plastic Surgery
Oculofacial plastic surgery is specialized plastic surgery that treats the eyelids and the area around them. Reconstructive oculofacial plastic surgery, considered medically necessary, restores obstructed vision. It is usually covered by insurance. In contrast, cosmetic variations are performed for appearances only and are generally not covered by insurance. Most surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is the surgical procedure to remove excess eyelid tissue (skin, muscle, or fat) around the eyes. The delicate skin around the eyes can appear puffy or saggy as we age. The skin stretches, muscles weaken, and the deposits of protective fat around the eye bulge.
Nose Surgery
Nasolacrimal duct obstructions can happen with no apparent cause. Sometimes previous sinus or nose surgery, or facial trauma with broken facial bones, can obstruct the tear duct.
Forehead Lift
A brow lift or forehead lift elevates the brow and smooths forehead skin, removing the vertical lines between the eyebrows. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places, either behind the hairline, in one of the forehead wrinkles, or immediately above the eyebrows. If an endoscope (a small tube with a fiberoptic light) is used, tiny incisions are made. After the muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed, the incision is closed with sutures. The operation is usually an outpatient procedure that can take several hours.

Skin Cancer
Malignant melanoma makes up almost 1% of all malignant eyelid tumors but accounts for many deaths from malignant eyelid tumors. As with any other type of malignant melanoma, these tumors on the eyelid can arise from a pre-existing nevus or mole or may appear with no other pre-existing cause. Again, these tumors tend to occur in sun-exposed areas of elderly fair-skinned people. Any pigmented area should be examined, especially if it grows or changes color. Surgical removal is usually the recommended treatment.
Lesions
Kathryn Winkler, M.D. joined as an ophthalmologist, treating diseases affecting the eyelids, lacrimal (or tear drain) system, orbit (tissue and bone around the eye), thyroid eye disease, lesions and cancers of the eyelids and orbit, reconstruction of the eyelids and orbit, and aesthetic surgery around the eyes and forehead
