History

Established in 1982.

In 1982 Dr. James Doherty was offered the American Vision Center franchise in Waukegan which was the beginning of our one hour service. In 1988 a new private practice, AccuVISION, was opened in Lindenhurst. He was then offered the American Vision franchise on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. In 1995 the First Vision in Round Lake Beach was close to bankruptcy when Dr. Doherty took it over. It has now grown to become the largest optical in northwest Lake County. The Waukegan office was moved to its Gurnee Mill’s location in 2000. The patient growth at the Michigan Avenue office required a move in 2003 to double its size at a new location near the corner of Wacker and North Michigan. AccuVISION then opened in Mundelein in 2007 saving many of our Wauconda, Libertyville and Mundelein patients on the drive time to the other locations. We have recently expanded opening 2 new locations in the Wauconda and Schaumburg area. All of our offices proudly carry the AccuVISION name.
