Question AME in ORD area?

Hello everyone! Im glad to know im not the only person who dreads medicals. I'm a pretty healthy 26 year old guy but when it comes to vision, I start to get nervous. My right eye is just fine (almost 20/15) but my left eye has a "toric" condition. I can usually get close to 20/20 but usually 20/25. It always scares me because im getting ready to work on my CFI,CFII and MEI ratings and hope to fly for an airline some day. Ive been able to slide by the vision test at my old AME in PBI, he still used old Snellen wall eye chart. I memorized the damn thing after a while! I'm near Chicago now and was wondering if anyone knew of a "flexible" AME in these parts?

You can try Dr. Ostrom in Elgin, Il thats where I went to for my 1st class. I got some problems too with my vision, he said it was perfect. good luck man.
