I can't say enough positive things about my experience with The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson…read more A few years ago, I had LASIK surgery, and since then, my vision has been pretty good. I hadn't been to an optometrist in years because I didn't feel the need. That all changed one morning when I woke up with an intense case of pink eye. The Envision Clinic was able to get me in so quickly, and Dr. Israelson was incredible. She was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, instantly putting me at ease. She prescribed treatment that worked immediately, and during our conversation, she took the time to discuss how eye health can often reveal other potential medical issues, including signs of a brain cancer recurrence--something that resonated with me deeply, as I'm a brain cancer survivor. A few weeks later, once my eye had healed, I returned for a comprehensive eye exam. I've never had such a thorough and thoughtful evaluation in my life! Dr. Israelson's attention to detail was unmatched. Although The Envision Clinic doesn't accept insurance, their pricing is very reasonable, and the quality of care is worth every penny. Dr. Israelson identified a slight astigmatism in my left eye and some mild degeneration in my LASIK correction. She explained everything clearly and practically, helping me understand why LASIK wouldn't be a good option for me again and recommending glasses specifically for driving and nighttime use to reduce glare. Her advice was incredibly practical and tailored to my unique needs, especially as someone with a complex medical history. The clinic itself is top-notch. It's clear they invest heavily in advanced equipment, staff training, and staying up-to-date with the latest research. They also have an impressive selection of frames--from trendy and fashionable to truly unique designs. Although I'm moving from Boulder to Denver soon, I'll happily make the drive back to see Dr. Israelson. She's one of the most compassionate and competent medical professionals I've ever encountered--and I've worked with many doctors over the years. If you're looking for exceptional care, practical insights, and a personalized experience, I can't recommend The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson enough.

I've been coming here for years for my sporting needs. First for polarized sun glasses for…read moreflyfishing/adventuring, then for my first pair of Zeal goggles. Last week I dropped in with my goggles as I'd had some issues with the lenses over this past winter. To be honest I hadn't done the best job keeping them safe while commuting to/from the mountain so the lenses had started to pop out every now and then. Apparently my #1 ski buddy did too good of a job popping the lenses back in at the end of last season as the staffers couldn't find a single thing wrong with them. Thankfully I had dropped in because Zeal was running 50% off of many awesome goggles. The staff shared which was their fave (of the sale goggles), I snagged a pair that caught my eye and the trying on began. I settled on a pair with a flashy purple band and sashayed on up to the register. It must have been my lucky day as the goggles also came with an alternate lens. I was thankful to be told the options along with what each alternate lens would best be used for. I settled on a pair for those snowy low visibility days. Score! Took my new goggles out for a spin the following day and am happy to report that they certainly delivered (and I looked pretty cool too)!

My mom recently accidentally broke a really old pair from here and they replaced them for free with a new model because they don't sell the ones she had anymore. The service is awesome and I wouldn't buy sporty eyewear from anywhere else.
