The Journey
How it all started
Dr. Aaron Evans started his journey to build a network of top eyecare facilities in South Florida with the acquisition of Visual Eyes at Mizner Park, his first practice, in 2009.
Despite economic challenges, he transformed this first practice into a leading optometry facility in Boca Raton through innovative interior redesigns, advanced eye care technology, and bold marketing strategies.
Over the years, Dr. Evans and his team have focused on improving patient experience and comfort, setting the stage for his network of elite eye care facilities in South Florida. Follow our journey below.
