About Joanna Slusky

Dr. Joanna Slusky is an Entrepreneur and an Integrative Medical Optometrist with nearly twenty years of experience. She immigrated from Poland with her Mother at age twelve with two suitcases, five-hundred dollars, and without the ability to speak English. A quick study, she achieved a 4.0 GPA, attended Northwestern University, and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Illinois College of Optometry. In 2007, during freshman year of Optometry school, she began caring for Chicagoland's eyes with the opening of Halsted Eye Boutique; expanding in 2021 with the acquisition of Eye See Ravenswood.Her passion for eyes began over twenty years ago when her grandfather, a primary care Doctor, was diagnosed with an eye tumor during an eye exam. Further diagnostic testing revealed an advanced case of prostate cancer. He passed away six months later, leaving a lasting impression on her; the eyes are the barometer of overall systemic health.In addition to providing comprehensive eye exams, Dr. Slusky is a dry eye expert, contact lens and myopia control specialist who prefers a holistic approach to eyecare. She incorporates newest technology, luxury eyewear, diet, lifestyle, nutraceuticals, as well as safe skincare and makeup recommendations to support patients’ eyecare needs. Dr. Slusky’s patients rave about her personalized approach, thoroughness, patience, and ability to optimize ocular health by focusing on the root cause rather than just symptoms, in order to improve vision clarity and comfort beyond expectations.In her free time, her passions include photography, art, music, dance, theater, fine dining, fitness, travel, and philanthropy. She’s a longtime supporter of causes that have the most meaning to her: Eyesight (Optometry Giving Sight, Eversight, Lighthouse for the Blind) and Cancer (H Foundation, Bear Necessities, Imerman Angels, and A Silver Lining Foundation). BONUS: Dr. Slusky is fluent in Polish and Russian, and understands Ukrainian and Spanish. "With dedication, dignity, and knowledge, our team and I look forward to supporting you and your family's vision care needs as your eyecare specialists. You are more than a patient in our practice; you are part of our family." - Dr. Joanna Slusky

Joanna Slusky Work Experience Details
  • Halsted Eye Boutique
    Integrative Optometrist, Dry Eye Expert, Contact Lens Specialist, Safe Eye Makeup/Skincare Educator
    Halsted Eye Boutique May 2010 - Present
    2852 N. Halsted St. Chicago Il 60657
    Integrative Optometrist, Safe-Beauty Educator & founder of Halsted Eye Boutique - one of the most state-of-the-art, patient-centered vision care practices in Chicago. My philosophy since opening the luxury eyewear salon in 2008, was to look at each patient in their entirety, ask "How can I improve your life?" and mean it. My optical team & I never settle for anything less than excellence when it comes to patients' visual needs, eye comfort, & inside-out health.Although I primarily focus on Specialty Contact Lenses, Dry Eye Management, prevention of Blue-Light Damage, & Pediatrics - Preventative Care & Education have always been my 1st passion. We constantly integrate latest technology into our “NoPuff - NoDrop” practice:The Optomap® Retinal Exam is quick, painless, requires no dilating drops & provides a 200 degree view of the back of the eye. It can lead to early detection of Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Retinal Detachment, Cholesterol, Diabetes, & even Cancer!As we spend more time looking at phones, tablets & computer screens, “Blue-Light Damage” is an increasing concern. Digital Eyestrain, Computer Vision Syndrome & Dry Eye Syndrome are becoming an epidemic. Anti-Fatigue “Blue-Light Blocking” Lenses are a new preventative measure for digital device users, even those with 20/20 vision. I also test your level of “Blue-Light Damage" & prescribe Therapies to reverse it - reducing your risk of Cataracts & Macular Degeneration later in life.LipiFlow treats Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) by using heat&pressure to unclog & preserve Meibomian glands, thereby treating the leading cause of Dry Eye. We also have IPL, Tearcare, Blephex and more!! As a Safe-Beauty Educator I recommend safer cosmetics & skincare patients can trust, empowering them to lead a healthier lifestyle & offering tools to help themselves.With every pair of glasses sold, we donate to Optometry Giving Sight "ICare&Share" program giving underserved communities access to vision care.

    Ocular Surface Disease, Safer Eye Makeup & Skincare Educator
    Beautycounter Jan 2017 - Present
    Greater Chicago Area
    Over the last decade, my passion for Dry Eye Management has led me to tirelessly investigate how my patients' lifestyle choices may interfere with their treatment success & overall well-being.Just as a diabetes educator must teach diabetic patients about their nutrition & lifestyle habits - I educate my Ocular Surface Disease patients about the importance of choosing safer products, techniques for application & comfort with cosmetics, and usage/removal habits. I ask them to bring photos of their regular skincare/cosmetics products to their OSD follow-up visits to help me ID the “bad guys” in their daily routines. I've uncovered massive exposure to OSD-exacerbating chemicals in some patients’ skin care products. Just because they're the most expensive beauty line at a department store, doesn't mean that they're safe. I've even seen so-called "eye creams" that were loaded with 9-13 OSD-exacerbating ingredients & labeled “Not for use around the eye”!We are all consumers. Many of us use eye cosmetics on a daily basis, but even men & women who don't use eye makeup may be inadvertently increasing their risk for ocular irritation through their facial cleansing habits.As an Optometrist, I am the guardian of my patients' ocular surface health. It's my duty & obligation to proactively address eye safety & ID what is safe to use around the eyes. I advocate label reading & choosing products with fewer unpronounceable ingredients. Don't trust the claims. Just because a package says “natural,” “vegan,” “not tested on animals,” or even “ophthalmologist tested,” does NOT guarantee that it's ocular surface–friendly. I use & recommend Beautycounter skincare & cosmetics because I am passionate about their mission - to get safe products into the hands of everyone. They're dedicated to radical transparency & their Ingredient Selection Process sets a new standard for health & safety while ensuring their products are effective & beautiful. www.Beautycounter.com/JoannaSlusky
