Dr. Jeffrey Blanco and his staff have dedicated themselves to practicing at the highest level, providing quality vision care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors with a caring sense of compassion unparalleled in today’s rushed medical environment. Very few practices offer services to patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly.

Resource Room, Blanco Eye Associates, Morris Illinois, Family Eye Care and Low Vision SpecialistsTo provide the varied services Blanco Eye Associates offer, the office environment is different too. Vision testing is done with the newest high contrast acuity system, including evaluation for nonverbal patients.

Resource Room
Adjacent to the reception area is a Resource Room where pamphlets on various eye care topics are displayed. The pamphlets are free for those wishing to take them. There are also various aids for people that are visually impaired such as writing guides, a large button phone, and time keeping aids, just to name a few.Reception at Blanco Eye Associates

Your Visit To Our Office
 When you enter the office you will be greeted by our receptionist and asked to fill out a few forms including an Ocular History & Medical Questionnaire form.  If you have low vision (uncorrectable vision loss), you must also fill out a Low Vision Needs Assessment form. These forms are available on the Patient Resources page.

Pretest RoomPretest room at Blanco Eye Associates
Before you see the doctor you will have some preliminary testing by a technician. She/he will first review the reason for your visit and do several tests including imaging your retinal with a computer driven digital camera, autorefraction to determine how much out of focus your eyes are, visual acuity, color vision, and stereopsis (depth perception) analysis.

Doctor’s Exam
Eye health is the primary concern in every exam and pupil dilation is sometimes required. Because our digital imaging system is so advanced, the need for dilation of the pupil is minimized. All testing equipment is the most modern available.

Exam room at Blanco Eye AssociatesDigital imaging of the retina on every patient is one of the unique parts of our evaluation. Although most offices charge as much as $90 for photography, we do it on every patient at no extra charge. This can be very valuable in finding eye disease, capturing a high contrast retinal view of the retina in a sometimes uncooperative child, showing patients abnormalities that help them understand what’s happening to their eyes, and having a baseline image for future reference.

At the end of doctor’s examination, ample time is devoted to explain your condition and all your questions will be answered.

For more information on the various services offered after the doctor’s evaluation, see Lasik/Contact Lenses, Optical / Frames, Infants/Children, Glaucoma, Seniors/ Low Vision.
