Dr. Silvia Pelini
Illinois College of Optometry, 1993, O.D.
Specializes in complex contact lens fittings, dry eye syndrome, and computer vision solutions.
Dr. Silvia Pelini has been dedicated to taking care of the vision and ocular health needs of Chicago families since acquiring her Michigan Avenue office in 1996, and has built her successful practice by earning each patient’s trust and respect. She is passionate about her work, and takes great joy in finding solutions that bring better vision to her patients.
Hailing from Michigan, Dr. Pelini moved to Chicago in 1988 and loves the variety of exciting experiences this amazing city has to offer. She believes strongly in giving back to her community, and frequently volunteers for local low-income vision care clinics, Room to Read, and her neighborhood church food pantry. Dr. Pelini also volunteers internationally, beginning as a student and continuing on annual vision care mission trips to Thailand, Haiti, Chile, El Salvador, and Honduras. When not in the office, she loves to travel, cook, play squash, and practice speaking Italian.
