I've been going here too long to not write a review for this place. Dr. Lewis has been and is currently helping me through glaucoma. I'm right on that edge of medication or not for this disease. Because I'm on the younger side for the average glaucoma patient, he is attacking it in every way possible. When one medication doesn't work or causes an allergic reaction, he is right there holding my hand through the process. Dr. Lewis is super easy to talk to. He spends time with his patients and makes them feel comfortable with the decisions he is making.The people he uses up front for insurance and glasses are also right on point. They are helpful without being pushy. I'm sure you could find glasses cheaper somewhere else, but strong customer service has me coming back every time.read moreread lessJr P.Dr Lewis literally saved my sight.

Thank you!read moreread lessjudi M. - 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.
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.
