About Me

Dr. Claire Smith is a board-certified ophthalmologist providing comprehensive eye care for adults. She believes great outcomes start with listening, and she takes time to understand how vision changes affect work, hobbies, and daily life. Her visits focus on clear explanations, preventive care, and collaborative decision-making—whether monitoring a chronic condition or planning cataract surgery.

Dr. Smith completed medical school at the University of Chicago, an internship at Loyola MacNeal Hospital, and ophthalmology residency at the Jules Stein Eye Institute. She is part of a coordinated care team and helps patients navigate when specialty referrals or imaging are useful. Her goal is to keep patients comfortable, informed, and confident about the next step toward healthier eyes.
