He has also participated in local and international missions, including a two week trip to Venezuela with the organization Gift of Sight. Why Optometry? “My choice of optometry as a career was an early decision influenced heavily by my own experiences, need for glasses, relationship with my optometrist, and the incredible difference that clear vision makes for an individual.” In What Aspects of Optometry Are You Most Interested? “The component of optometry that I enjoy the most is the medical site which includes working with people in management of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many other systemic and eye related problems.” Hobbies? “I enjoy automobiles and the creativity, power, and expressions of the designers and the times that they represent. I also enjoy new technologies, wood-working and being able to share all of these hobbies with my children.”
Dr. Liesl Kaye

She, like Dr. Preston, also had extensive training at both the Illinois Eye Institute in Chicago, as well as Olympia Fields Osteopathic Hospital. Dr. Kaye is also currently a member of the Illinois Optometric Association, and American Optometric Association. Dr. Kaye grew up in Prospect Heights and Long Grove. She majored in biology at Loyola University in Chicago and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Science. She practiced in Arlington Heights for seven years, before moving to Lake in the Hills in 2002 to open Kaye Eyecare of Huntley. “Our charter patients will remember our toddler sons, and later our newborn daughter, who still have a presence in many of the common tasks in the office. Jonathan now attends Iowa State University, Daniel will be graduating from Huntley High School, and Lillia is preparing to enter next fall.” “Our family enjoys the connections between our church, community, schools, and town activities. Our community is a mix of down home values and professional opportunities, and a wonderful place to raise our family and practice optometry.” Why Optometry? “When I was sixteen I strongly believed that the field of optometry was where I wanted to be. The importance of a medical profession, and the element of the immediate reward of being able to help someone see more clearly has not wavered since.” In What Aspects of Optometry Are You Most Interested? “Another reason I love the profession of optometry is the broad spectrum of patient care it offers. I enjoy showing kindness and extra care to an elderly patient struggling to understand dry eye, or glaucoma. I enjoy presenting the newest technology in lens treatments and instruments to high tech patients. Even more, I enjoy working with young children, infants, and children and adults with special needs. These patients whose caregivers are often unsure of where to go, are the very patients I adore!” Hobbies? “Mom” is a favorite role of mine! Spending time with my family, whether on simple walks or a long road trip, always brings me many smiles! I played the oboe in an orchestra for eighteen years, and studied the piano for ten, giving piano lessons to fifteen students of my own for four years while in college. I currently enjoy working with children in Sunday school and the Awana program each week.

Dr. Robertson has been practicing for 16 years in the Northwest Suburbs and we are excited to have her join our practice in her own hometown of Huntley! Why Optometry? “When I was a Freshman in high school, I knew I wanted a career in the medical field. I wanted to specialize in an area that I could really focus on (no pun intended). What greater gift than to help patients see their best, along with diagnosing and treating ocular diseases and emergencies to help maintain the best vision possible!” What Aspects of Optometry are you most interested in? “I enjoy discussing what visual demands patients have on a day to day basis and determining the best vision correcting options to achieve comfortable vision. It is also important to determine if there are any underlying ocular health issue that may be preventing a patient from achieving the clearest and most comfortable vision possible (clear vision can sometimes be more than simply the right prescription)! Hobbies? “I enjoy spending time with my two boys and my husband playing tennis, golfing, bike riding, playing board games and exploring new destinations!”
