Specialties

The premier, fashion forward optical boutique in Chicago. Widely recognized for our expertise in finding perfect eyeglasses for every face.

Dr. Chet here, owner of Visual Effects Optical. In the twenty five years we’ve been in business, I’ve had the opportunity to transform thousands of faces, with eyeglasses that look great.

I’m always asked «How do I find that perfect frame? How do I manage to do it on the first try?» The answer is simple. It comes from my gut; it is my gift, my art and my passion. I look at a face and picture shapes that compliment the natural flow of your features. I will even challenge you to try styles that you would never have imagined on your own.

I wouldn’t be able to do what I do at Visual Effects if it weren’t for our selection of thousands of contemporary and progressive frames all personally chosen by myself.

So — isn’t it time you let us work with you? Join the thousands of Visual Effects faces that for the first time, enjoy eyeglasses!

History

Established in 1989.

Visual Effects Optical was born out of Dr. Chet Steinmetz’s desire to have his own business. After graduating from optometry school in 1983, Dr. Chet worked as an employed optometrist. In early 1989 the location on Clybourn was discovered.

Within six months, the decision to open Visual Effects Optical became a reality, and in October 1989 history was made. It didn’t take long for the neighborhood to discover at Visual Effects an easy going, fashion knowledgeable optometrist in location with parking.

Over the next few years, as the selection of frames grew from 600 to 2000, the reputation of Dr. Chet’s ability to find great frames for faces grew as well.

Today, at 1013 W. Armitage, Visual Effects Optical thrives because of the commitment Dr. Chet maintains to superior service and quality products. It’s loyal client base returns again and again relying on Dr. Chet’s unique ability to find perfect frames for faces, utilizing the huge selection of contemporary & progressive eyewear
