I ordered contacts 2 months ago while they were closed due to COVID and they were shipped to me directly, no charge for shipping, which was so helpful! Highly recommend!read moreread lessCarrie I.Pros: Expert, professional, and trustworthy optometry service; Helpful and knowledgeable opticians; Friendly administrative/reception staff; Quality frames and lenses; Socially responsible
Cons: Could provide better glasses fitting service
Optometry: My wife and I have been going to see Dr. Lewis for 12 years and we have had nothing but positive experiences. Dr. Lewis is knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy. He's also a great communicator. He explains what's going on with your eyes in plain English and is always willing to answer any questions you might have. We've also seen Dr. Pajot on different occasions and she is also very competent, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was especially helpful explaining color blindness to my young son.
Optician Services: The frames are a bit on the expensive side, but I've learned that it's because they don't source frames from the Luxottica conglomerate. This is why I included "socially responsible" above. They're opticians have educated me on this (see: youtube.com/watch?v=gDdq…). They also use high quality lens manufacturers like Zeiss, which is especially important if you have a difficult prescription. The opticians here are very helpful in breaking down the costs of lens features and what insurance will cover. I've also never felt pressured to add on lens features that I didn't want to pay for. The ONLY issue I've had is with getting my glasses fitted for comfort and have gone elsewhere to get my frames adjusted when needed. That said, you will be properly measured to ensure that the lens is set up in the frame properly in relation to your eye.
Administration/Reception: The reception staff are friendly and helpful. Scheduling appointments has never been an issue. I always get reminders via post card and my appointments are confirmed by phone. I receive the confirmations in time to cancel or reschedule the appointment if needed (they have a 24 hour cancellation policy like most places). They have also been very helpful and accommodating in getting summary statements for HSA/FSA.
I've been going to optometrists for over 30 years and have worn glasses and contact lenses my entire adult life. I've also recently had Lasik. I trust Beaumont Vision and would highly recommend their service.read moreread lessKei I.It is a great testimony to Beaumont Vision that my kids are EXCITED to see the Eye Doctor. Amazing place.

Super helpful and I had a hard time choosing which frames as they had soooo many!!read moreread lessVonna M.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Beaumont Vision in Portland, OR. Dr. Lewis was attentive and extremely thorough. He followed up with my husband to be sure an additional appointment was made for testing his eyes when we got back to California. The staff is professional and spent extra time helping me try on several different frames. They explained each step of the process before I met with Dr. Lewis and made sure I understood the difference in the type of lenses they were recommending. Once I received my glasses, it has been the best fitting and strength I've had in the 45 years I've been wearing glasses. I have purchased two different frames through them and love them both. My husband's are a perfect fit and we both noticed the "headache" that sometimes occurs with new glasses was non existent. Dr. Lewis was right on with our prescriptions.

I've been a patient of Dr. Lewis for several years now. Prior to going to Dr. Lewis, I went to ophthalmologists. Dr. Lewis's checkups are far more thorough than any of my prior ophthalmologist exams.

He was able to connect all the dots - from dry eyes to inflammation of the cornea - really educate me about my condition, and provided clear, thorough instructions about many many things I can do at home to treat my wide range of problems. He was able to test in depth a wide range of conditions to properly assess my condition -- that previous doctors didn't even consider were related at all.

We manage a significant number of dry eye patients, and we can provide dry eye sufferers with a wide array of effective options.
LASIK Patient Care
Recovery from LASIK surgery tends to be relatively comfortable and short. Having said that, proper outcomes require appropriate pre- and post-operative care. At Beaumont Vision, our doctors are thoroughly qualified to guide you through the LASIK recovery process, so you can get back to living your life as efficiently and comfortably as possible.
Cataract Co-Management

Digital Retinal Imaging
Digital retinal imaging allows our doctors to thoroughly examine the light-sensitive lining inside your eye. The high magnification and sharp resolution of our state-of-the-art digital retinal imaging help our doctors detect early warning signs of issues that could be strictly vision-related (such as macular degeneration) or conditions that could affect your whole body (such as diabetes and high blood pressure).
We recommend an evaluation of the retina with each comprehensive eye exam.
Visual Field Testing
Visual field testing allows our doctors to check your visual system for blind spots.
Visual field testing aids in detecting early signs of ocular and neurological diseases. This is highly valuable, non-invasive test that is commonly performed for a wide variety of conditions.
