The Eye Doc Who Truly Sees You
With over 22 years of experience, my mission is clear: to help you enjoy a lifetime of sharp, comfortable vision and to make your eye care experience one you actually look forward to.
At Joliet Eye Care, we take time to understand you, not just your eyes. We answer your questions, listen carefully, and never rush through appointments. Sure, anyone can give you a 5-minute exam — but we’re not just checking boxes. We’re building a trusted relationship, focused on long-term care and real results.

As for me — I'm a lifelong learner, a hands-on problem solver, and a lifelong armature builder / fixer. I am probably working on my next 3D printing project, taking pictures of amazing insects, or flying a RC airplane or helicopter! My hobbies are rooted in creativity and precision - the perfect complement to my profession. LEARN more about them here!

Did you know optometrists can do more than you think! Yes — optometrists do much more than just check vision or prescribe glasses.
Dr. Tahir is specially trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of eye diseases, eye traumas, and eye infections — and can even detect early signs of systemic health and eye conditions such as glaucoma, strokes, vision loss and retinal detachments. Fully DPA and TPA certified, he can prescribe both eye drops and oral medications as needed for your best overall care.

I believe in treating everyone with kindness and warmth. The diversity in this field is exciting and I look forward to continually learn other aspects of vision care. I love being active and believe you get what you put in. The gym, hiking, photography, and working on cars are only some of my hobbies. I look forward in meeting and helping in your care.
