🎉 WELL, WELL, WELL… LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED! 👀

I blinked my eyes… and somehow we’re celebrating 30 YEARS of delivering exceptional eye health and vision care to our amazing community! 🥳

Between my 30 years (and counting!), Dr. Kraar’s 36 years 🙏 (Rest in Peace), and Dr. Kovulagh’s 40 years 🙏 (Rest in Peace), our clinic has proudly served this community for over 100 combined years! 💪

But let’s be honest—it’s not just about the doctors. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
It’s about our incredible team who make Primary Eye Care Associates such a special experience, and it’s about YOU, our loyal patients. 💙

Your support and faithfulness keep me energized—it’s the reason I walk into the clinic with a big smile every morning. You’ve allowed me to live my dream of serving great people like you since I was 14 years old… (and yes, I’m still 24! 😉).

It’s truly an honor caring for multiple generations of families. Some of you cross city lines, state lines—even fly in from other continents—to see us. ❤️
And now the children I once examined are bringing their children. (Still 24, though 😎)

👉 To celebrate, we’ve released our 30-Year Commemorative Tumbler, available in sleek black 🖤 or classic white 🤍.
Every purchase supports St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, one of my favorite causes. 🙏

Thank you for 30 incredible years. Here’s to another 30 of clear vision, great health, and even greater relationships. 🥂
-From Bottom of my Heart y'all,
Dr. Sandip Steven "Deepak" Chander❤️

We had a blast Friday night hosting Illinois College of Optometry students during their practice crawl!

For 30 years, we’ve been proud to serve Chicago with leading technology, AI, and a relentless focus on patient satisfaction. Sharing our story with such bright, motivated students was both rewarding and fun.

Big thanks to VSP, PECAA, and especially my daughter Sabrina for hosting with such energy and warmth. 👏

It’s an honor to give back and mentor the next generation of optometrists
