History
Established in 1995.
Originally established in 1978 at 20 North Michigan Avenue as an American Vision Center franchise.
Dr. Jim Doherty purchased the franchise in 1994 and moved it to its current location at 321 N. Michigan in the summer of 2000, doubling its size.
After Pearle Vision purchased the franchise rights to the American Visions Doherty changed the name to his private practice Accuvision in order to save his patients the cost of excessive franchise and advertising fees.
