Big City Optical: Personalized Care for Busy Chicagoans
With 19 locations across Chicago, Big City Optical combines the cutting-edge expertise of a big retailer with the warmth and convenience of a neighborhood shop. From high-tech eye care to a vast selection of designer frames, we make your eye health our top priority.
Eye Care, One Neighborhood at a Time
At Big City Optical, we’ve discovered a better way to care for your vision—by being professional friends rather than just friendly professionals. As a proud Chicago original, we’ve built our business to make your life easier.
Our many locations throughout Chicago reflect the unique character and needs of each neighborhood. No matter where you visit—whether it’s West Loop, Lincoln Park, or Pilsen—you’ll find friendly, familiar faces, tailored service, and advanced technology. Every store offers a unique experience designed with your community in mind.
Unlike one-size-fits-all retailers, we cater specifically to the busy lifestyles of Chicagoans. Need an appointment on the weekend? We’ve got you covered. Prefer a digital eye exam that works around your schedule? No problem—we’re here for you.
High-Tech Expertise with a Local Touch
At Big City Optical, we prioritize technology to ensure every client receives top-tier care. From digital eye exams to advanced diagnostic equipment, our services provide precise, efficient results. But here’s what makes us different: all our doctors are local experts who work out of multiple locations, so you get cutting-edge care from professionals who truly understand your community.
The Frames You’ve Been Searching For
We know eyewear is personal, and it’s our mission to help you find your perfect pair. With over 700 designer frames in every store, we offer something for everyone—from classic silhouettes to bold statement pieces. Our expert opticians guide you through the options, ensuring your glasses fit your face, lifestyle, and personality.
Looking for versatility? Why not invest in multiple pairs—sleek frames for work, bold ones for social events, and prescription sunglasses for sunny Chicago afternoons? With so many choices, the possibilities are endless.
Care That Goes Beyond the Exam Room
We understand that great care doesn’t end when you leave our store. That’s why we offer a one-year warranty on every pair of glasses. And if your frames need fixing, we’re happy to help—even if you didn’t buy them from us. Our hassle-free approach ensures your eyewear is always in top condition, giving you peace of mind.
Eye Care Made Convenient
With 19 locations across Chicago, we’ve designed Big City Optical to fit seamlessly into your life. Our stores are strategically located to provide “block-to-block” benefits, making it easier than ever to prioritize your eye health. Whether you’re commuting downtown or running errands in your neighborhood, we’re just around the corner.
We also accept FSA and HSA benefits, making high-quality eye care accessible and affordable for everyone.
