A Brief History

  In 1971 the Arce family realized the need for quality vision care in their community. The Arce Family created a small Optical on Chicago’s west side that provides excellent vision service at competitive prices for all their customers. Today, Tropical Optical Vision Centers has 5 locations in Chicago land. 


The commitment to provide quality vision services and products remains foremost.
