Congratulations, Linda!

She took it upon herself to register for the exam, study hard and take many practice quizzes in preparation for the test and passed with flying colors! Linda is one of four opticians at ilumin that we are proud to have on […]
Community Supported Agriculture
Our kitchens have gotten brighter (and much more adventurous) this summer! Several of us have recently purchased shares in Fertile Ground Family Farm Co-op’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program to support eco-friendly local growers and be more mindful of responsible food consumption. Each Thursday evening, a surprise selection of healthy produce is brought to the […]
July 4th Eye Safety
The Fourth of July makes for great neighborhood celebrations and lots of family fun, but it is also, unfortunately, peak time for eye injuries. Please be careful! Fireworks (bottle rockets, sparklers and roman candles count, too) account for thousands of eye injuries each year.
Headed to Orlando
No, we aren’t planning a trip to The Magic Kingdom – We’re going to the 115th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) in October! This year, ilumin will be represented by two staff members and two physicians.

Trek up the Tower
Our offices are only one level, but the ilumin team proved our stair-stepping worth at the Wellness Council of the Midlands’ “Trek up the Tower” at First National Bank yesterday. We climbed 40 floors (870 steps) to the top of the tallest building between Chicago and Denver to get our hearts pumping. Our legs are […]
Full-Service Optical
Talk to someone who can once again see her granddaughter’s beautiful smile through custom lenses from ilumin’s optical salon, and she will tell you ilumin has redefined personalized eye care. Only she doesn’t put it in those exact terms. She simply says: “No one has ever done this for me before.” That statement, perhaps better than any other, reveals the essence of the patient experience at ilumin’s full-service optical salon.
