At Big City Optical, we care deeply about our neighbors, our patients, and the sweet pets that enrich the lives of so many families. Today, our Broadway leader Michelle and the West Loop team are mourning a very special "honorary employee," Elsie.

For years, Elsie and her dad, Vinnie, have been the heart of our community. From hosting our Puppy Pool Parties to drawing a crowd in front of the store with her iconic bowl and fabulous costumes. She was an absolute delight who brightened every day she stopped by.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Vinnie. Elsie, you will be dearly missed by your BCO family.

EVO ICL uses a soft, biocompatible lens that sits just behind your iris to help correct stronger prescriptions without reshaping the cornea. ✨

It’s designed for people with moderate to severe nearsightedness or astigmatism, including those who may not be ideal LASIK candidates.

The procedure is quick — usually around 20–30 minutes — minimally invasive, and doesn’t typically cause dry eye, which is a big plus for many patients.

At Big City Optical, our doctors can evaluate whether EVO ICL might fit your vision needs and co-manage the process with trusted surgical partners here in Chicago.
