Pediatric Care
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Loyola University in Chicago, in 1985, Dr. Halkias went on to a four-year professional program at the Illinois College of Optometry where she was awarded her Doctor of Optometry in 1989. While studying Optometry with some of the most renowned experts in the field, she received incomparable clinical experience during her Optometric Externship at the Great Lakes Naval Station. During her tenure at the Naval Station, she gained a special expertise in such areas as: pediatrics; binocular vision; contact lens prescription and management and advanced ophthalmic care as well as primary eye care. Through active participation and study, Dr. Halkias gained insights that now greatly benefit her patients as she specializes in fitting contact lenses, and providing eye care for patients of all ages and vision levels.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a condition caused by elevated fluid pressure within the eye. If the fluid does not drain adequately, pressure can build-up, causing damage to the optic nerve and eventual loss of sight. One of the dangers of glaucoma is that there are often no symptoms until vision loss becomes apparent. Consequently, it is important to have regular eye exams that include testing to measure intraocular pressure.
Ophthalmology
The retina of the eye is comparable to the film of a camera. It requires specialized care to maintain the health and treat disease or injury. Fox Valley Ophthalmology offers the services of a Medical retinologist.
Macular Degeneration
Although it does not lead to blindness, macular degeneration can severely limit a patient’s ability to see fine detail or read. To date, no cure has been found but in some cases that are diagnosed early, laser treatment may be effective. In most instances, magnifiers and other low vision aids are helpful to patients suffering from macular degeneration. At Fox Valley Ophthalmology, our doctors carefully track research being conducted to find new methods of treatment for this disease.
Laser Eye Surgery
LASIK, or In-Situ Keratomileusis is the most commonly performed refractive surgery used today to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Find out what millions around the World have already discovered through LASIK – clear vision and freedom from glasses or contacts.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eyeâ€™s naturally clear lens. Vision through eyes with cataracts is characterized as looking through a foggy window or piece of wax paper. Cataract development is usually a very gradual process of normal aging, but can occasionally occur rapidly. Many people are unaware that they have cataracts because the changes in their vision are so gradual. Cataracts are very common, affecting roughly 60% of people over the age of 60, and over 1.5 million cataract surgeries are performed in the United States each year.
Cataract Surgery
If you are nearing the age for cataract surgery and want a reliable vision correction solution, premium lens implants could be a suitable option. These lens implants are also referred to as â€œlifestyle lens implantsâ€ because they can provide excellent vision, sometimes without the need for glasses. Before determining if these premium lens implants are right for you, it is important to discuss your lens implant options with your cataract surgeon.
Eye Exam
When a person calls to make an eye appointment, he or she should be prepared to describe any current vision problems. In addition, patients should ask if the eye examination will affect their vision temporarily and if they will need someone to drive them home. They may also want to ask about the cost of the exam, if their insurance plan will cover any of the cost, and how payment is handled. Before going to the appointment, patients should gather the following information to help answer questions the eye care professional may ask...

Internal Medicine
After graduating Magna Cum laude from the University of California, Irvine, Dr. Saima Jalal received her medical degree from Northwestern University in Chicago. Her internship in Internal Medicine was also acquired in Chicago at Louis Weiss Memorial Hospital.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy
A major cause of blindness, diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and can be present with no noticeable symptoms. The best protection for diabetics, therefore, is to be aware of the risks, and have regular examinations and appropriate treatment by an ophthalmologist. In some cases, diabetes and other diseases may be detected through routine eye examinations of apparently healthy individuals.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic is a non-surgical, aesthetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines. BOTOXÂ® Cosmetic works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause those persistent frown lines that have developed over time. One 10-minute treatmentâ€”a few tiny injectionsâ€”and within days there’s a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.
