Victoria A. Haynes, O.D.
Victoria A. Hanes, O.D., received her Doctor of Optometry degree in 1985 from the Illinois College of Optometry. She is a member of the American Optometric Association and the Illinois Optometric Association. Dr. Haynes is dedicated to providing her patients with personalized care, recognizing that good vision and eye health are a vital part of the quality of everyday life..

One of her passions is in children's vision. Dr. Haynes understands that while healthy eyes and good eyesight are essential to a child's development, functional vision must also be assessed. Eye teaming skills in coordination with proper focusing abilities are areas of vision that are key components to a child' performance and learning in school.

Her other areas of expertise are contact lenses and low vision. Dr. Haynes works with each of her contact lens patients in providing them with the best lens modality that will deliver optimal comfort, visual quality and eye health.
As our population lives longer certain eye diseases, such as macular degeneration, become increasingly prevalent. Dr. Haynes offers low vision care for those patients who's visual needs require more specialized optical and daily living operations.
She looks forward to meeting you and your family and to treating your eye health and vision needs.
