“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Wear Eyewear and Dr. Alexander Pitts, OD.
Wear has a Friendly staff, a beautiful suite and tools that aren't daunting like the air-puff tonometer. Dr. Alex answered all of my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment!”

“Great experience from start to finish. Staff was welcoming and incredibly friendly. Dr. Pitts was efficient and thorough and did a top notch job explaining the why behind everything. The check out process was smooth and efficient and I didn’t feel like I was being upsold a bunch of things I didn’t actually need.
The entire team at this office was great to work with and I was in and out in under an hour with an improved prescription, new lenses on my eyes and a new supply on the way. I was not in the market for glasses as well but will probably revisit that because of the great experience I had. ”

About Dr. Alexander Pitts
Alexander Pitts, O.D., received his Doctor of Optometry from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2023. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology with a certificate in Global Health from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018. Dr. Pitts' passion for optometry began when he got glasses in the 3rd grade and couldn't stop playing with all the machines in the doctor's office. Since then, his interest in the field has only deepened, driven by the ability to help people see better and improve their lives through quality vision care. His primary areas of interest in optometry include retinal disease, glaucoma, and soft contact lenses, with a strong focus on patient education at every exam. Dr. Pitts is committed to providing the highest level of care to his patients and has volunteered for several local and international service trips, offering eye exams and glasses to those in need. Outside of optometry, Dr. Pitts enjoys going to concerts, exploring the Chicago food scene, cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers, and traveling.

I loved everything about my eyewear appointment. Both receptionists were extremely friendly and helpful, and I didn’t have to wait at all—I was in and out in no time.
I had a few exams done, and the receptionist even contacted my previous eye doctor to obtain my prescription, which I truly appreciated. The doctor was just as wonderful—thorough, professional, and attentive. Overall, it was an excellent experience from start

The doctor was professional, high tech and thorough even though the office didn't look like a traditional optometrist office. The facility had lots of high tech toys and the Dr did an excellent job seeing me for the first time.

They are really great over there at Wear Eyewear. The doctor was down to earth and cared. He was very thorough but the appointment didn’t take long at all. The reception and other staff were also very nice and helpful with choosing eyewear and getting checked in and out smoothly and quickly. The office is lovely and has all the top notch equipment needed. Great selection of eyewear. Very happy I ended up there.

Walking into the office was so warming. You immediately feel as though you're going to be well-taken care of. The staff was amazing. The doctor was so thorough and shared his own personal experience with his vision. I would recommend this office to anyone.
Great Experience!!!!
