Meet Our Founders: Mike Kogelis and Rasa Tamulavichus, O.D.
Co-founders Dr. Tamulavichus and Mike Kogelis created Big City Optical in 2017 when they decided to bring their ideal Chicago optometry practice to life. They envisioned a laid-back neighborhood shop where doctors knew the names of their clients, where appointments were convenient, and where everyone involved was having a great time. This ideal practice quickly became a Chicago staple, as our cozy neighborhood business now serves the community in 19 locations throughout the city.
Meet Our Eye Doctors
Our community-oriented group of optometrists are all local to the Chicago area. All are experts in their field, love their community, and serve it with pride. This means that not only will they provide high-end expert eye care — but they will be warm, understanding, and considerate along the way.
