Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve - the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain. The optic nerve is made up of many nerve fibers, like an electric cable containing numerous wires. When damage to the optic nerve fibers occurs, blind spots develop. These blind spots usually go undetected until the optic nerve is significantly damaged.

This is hands down the best doctors office of any kind I've personally ever visited. The staff is kind. And Dr. Eldridge himself has a soul of gold and a contagious laughter. His examinations are thorough and personable. Nothing is ever rushed. The office is nostalgic and non pretentious. I'm not in network here with my insurance but I still come. It's a joy to pay people like this. This entire place is a gem in Kenosha. You just have to come for yourself! You will know what I mean once your here!

I found Dr. Eldridge through an online search. I am SO happy I decided to go to his office for my check up. The office is very easily accessible, clean, and up to date. The receptionist was so incredibly kind and helpful, as was Dr. Eldridge. I highly recommend visiting his office for ALL of your vision needs.

I've been seeing Dr. Eldridge for over 20 years. He detected my unknown detached retina and referred me to a great surgeon to have it repaired. He also took care of my mother who had glaucoma and other complicated seeing issues for years. I have moved 4 hours away from Kenosha and I still see him annually. I completely trust Dr. Eldridge to provide the best eye care available.

My mom has been seeing Dr. Eldridge for about 10 years and we have always been pleased with the care. He has managed to get her glaucoma under control and enable her at 96 years old to be able to continue to be able to read with just regular reading glasses. The employees are always friendly and professional. There is never a long wait and appointments are quick and efficient.
Easy to get an appointment in a timely fashion. We trust his knowledge and practice. He is also easy to talk to and ask questions. We live in Racine but drive to Kenosha to see Dr. Eldridge.
