Evanston, IL Eye Care Services
Big City Optical provides services that cater to your preferences in terms of availability, location, and timing. Whether you need a comprehensive eye exam or help selecting a smashing pair of glasses that fits your style, we’ll make sure you feel cared for every step of the way.

Eye Exams
We offer in-person and digital comprehensive eye exams, which significantly enhances the flexibility we offer to our patients. During these exams, we assess your vision and closely examine your eyes and vision, identifying any potential issues or concerns.

Myopia Management
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a prevalent condition that typically manifests during childhood. Although glasses can aid in vision correction, they don’t effectively address the root causes of myopia. Our team of highly trained eye doctors offers a range of myopia management options, allowing us to tailor the most suitable treatment plan for both you and your child.

Eye Disease Management
Big City Optical is highly proficient in managing a variety of eye conditions including glaucoma, dry eye, and macular degeneration. We specialize in tackling challenging and early emergent cases, ensuring you achieve clear vision and maintain optimal eye health for a more comfortable and enhanced quality of life.

Eye Emergencies
All our facilities are well-prepared to address critical eye emergencies. If you or a family member are facing an eye-related crisis within our operating hours, please contact us promptly. We are better equipped to handle critical eye health situations than a typical hospital ER.

Surgery Co-Management
We collaborate closely with ophthalmologists and surgeons to guarantee that your eye health needs are met with seamless and exceptional care. We understand that the idea of surgery can be daunting, and that’s why we go the extra mile to educate and reassure our clients throughout the entire process.
