Welcome to the
Panton Eye Center!

The Panton Eye Center is a comprehensive ophthalmology and optometry practice serving patients throughout Elmwood Park, Oak Park, River Forest, and neighboring communities in the Chicagoland area.

The Panton Eye Center offers comprehensive ophthalmologic care, which includes medical, surgical and optical services. Care is rendered by board-certified ophthalmologists, assisted by a staff which includes optometrists, ophthalmic technicians, ophthalmic photographers, and opticians.

Medical Director and Founder, Dr. John H. Panton, describes his philosophy of practice: "Two words can summarize our approach to eye care: innovation and compassion. Surgical techniques and medical treatment are constantly changing and we intend to be at the leading edge of those changes. Nonetheless, one thing remains constant-the respect and empathy which we demonstrate to every patient. The need to comfort is every bit as important as the need to cure."
