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. Thank you Dr. Lewis and staff for your expertise and skill.read moreread lessKathie W.

I've been to about 3 appointments there and am a current patient. The staff has always been awesome. They make sure I know different costs or coverage details up front, and are friendly. The person I've always seen has been Dr. Lewis, he's thorough, succinct, and an overall excellent optometrist. My last visit was an emergency visit because I had a lot of 'floaters' and I was kinda terrified. Lauren was the receptionist and because of a cancellation got me in within 2 hours, and the whole time was so understanding and helpful. For an urgent/scary visit it was so GD pleasant, because everyone was kind and good at their jobs, I left feeling a lot better and I would recommend them for anyone needing an optometrist!read moreread lessNina T.Awesome! 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.

- I came to Beaumont Vision with a severe medical condition that was previously treated elsewhere but not with success or with as much knowledge and instructions as with Dr. Lewis. 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.

- I had bought a pair of frames over a year ago from Beaumont Vision and then had a momentary loss of concentration while riding a powered scooter, and they were gone. Beaumont Vision was able to schedule me in the very next day. While my frames were not able to be fixed, they were somehow able to locate a replacement frame for me that was sitting on a shelf. They were incredibly kind and efficient in swapping out the lenses and ensuring that the new frames worked for me. If it was just that, it would be an incredible customer service story. What they didn’t know is that I was having a monumental bad month and this act of kindness not only restored my vision, but my hope. Words fail at expressing my gratitude.

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.

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.
