- Friendly, helpful and caring...made the experience easy!read moreread lessScott R.Pros: Expert, professional, and trustworthy optometry service; Helpful and knowledgeable opticians; Friendly administrative/reception staff; Quality frames and lenses; Socially responsibleCons: Could provide better glasses fitting serviceOptometry: 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.I hadn't been into a optometrist in ten years but knew I should get in for a checkup. Dr. John Lewis and his staff couldn't have made it a more comfortable and enjoyable visit. Every test that he did he explained what he was testing for and why, which was the first time I felt that I completely understand what was going on after an appointment. Thank you Beaumont Vision!read moreread lessTim E.
- Over the past six years I’ve received exceptional and professional customer service from Shenyah and the staff. My partner and bonus-kid have both received eye exams and the doctors have both been thorough and didn’t rush through the exam.The staff understand how to help you pick a frame looks good on your face and also meets the needs of your prescription.

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.
I'm deeply grateful and recommend highly.read moreread lessHope J.Dr. Sarah Pajot was excellent. She was extremely thorough in the exam and took the time to explain each process. I have worn contacts and glasses for 15 years and the exam she conducted was the best I have received. The eye health portion of the exam had more steps in it than I had received previously from other doctors. I can only assume she takes eye health a lot more seriously than the previous doctors I have went to see. I did not purchase contacts or glasses from them yet.

Services We Offer
Adjustments & Repairs
When you purchase your eyeglasses at Beaumont Vision, we offer full-service adjustments and repairs at no cost!
Our skilled opticians can replace a screw, adjust frame fits, replace nose pads, and fine-tune your eyeglasses for the perfect fit!
Eye Exams
An annual eye exam is one of the most important diagnostic and preventative measures you can take to protect your vision and health. We offer exceptionally thorough vision and eye health examinations for the whole family – infants to elders, and all points in between.
Dr. Lewis and Dr. Pajot will work patiently with you to ensure that your prescription suits your vision requirements perfectly.
Children’s Eye Care
It’s never too early for an eye exam! The American Optometric Association suggests that children should have their eyes examined at six months, three years, and just prior to starting school.
At Beaumont Vision, we have a large selection of children’s frames. Getting glasses is a big step for your child, but they’ll certainly find a style that makes them feel confident and comfortable.
Contact Lenses
Whether you’re a lifelong contact wearer or someone who has never tried on a pair of contact lenses, Beaumont Vision can help you find the perfect lens for your needs. And don’t worry: we’ll teach you how to put them in, too!
Dry Eye Management
Dry eye signs and symptoms could be associated with some other condition, or this might indicate a chronic problem. Whatever the case may be, the doctors and staff at Beaumont Vision can help. 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
Generally, cataract surgery is a successful procedure. However, proper care is necessary to ensure the best outcome and we provide co-management services for patients undergoing cataract surgery. From pre-procedure testing to post-surgery checkups, we’re here for you.
Emergency Eye Care
When the unexpected happens and you find yourself in need of emergency eye care, Beaumont Vision is able to evaluate and manage these situations.
Our state of the art optical lab and experienced optometric physicians can handle a wide array of emergency situations, from treating eye trauma to removing foreign bodies (metal or plastic fragments, organic material, etc.) from the eye.
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.
