Maybe you just walk into an optical shop the way I used to before I found Clear Vision Optical and…read morePaul Scheie (rhymes with "day"), looking for the "best, most affordable" frames you can find to (1) flatter your face, (2) perhaps enhance your appearance in some way, or (3) just give you a "different" look. That's what i did my whole life, since i got glasses nearly 50 years ago at age 7. As long as I could read, I didn't complain about eye strain, as long as I got a current prescription my whole life; however, once I needed progressive lenses with different correction for near and distance vision, at around age 50, I only recently learned, after visiting Paul at Clear Vision Optical, how and why all of my "fashion-seeking" was *not* serving me well! I actually suffered with eye strain, and took pain medicine to ease my headaches around-the-clock during long hours of computer work, constant reading, doing my beloved detail-oriented hobbies and playing the piano. I didn't realize the furrows between my eyes were caused by tensing my eye muscles, straining to focus thru poorly-chosen and poorly-fit eyeglasses. Last April 2024, I learned that there is a "science of optics" that can be applied to personalize my eyewear to *properly* fit my face, as well as optimize my vision. Perfect vision is not meant to occur just once a year at the eye doctor's/optometrist's office! My chosen spectacles can actually enhance my eye health, minimize eye strain, and optimize visual experience for clarity in my everyday life! Complex principles I never understood before, like decentration, pantoscopic tilt, vertex, and more can be applied to end eye strain and improve my everyday visual experience-- thanks to Paul! He worked tirelessly and patiently answered my questions to help me understand that my vision could be better and my lenses could be designed and custom fit to my face, with the lenses perfectly aligned to my unique eyes, thru his generous application of optical expertise, developed over decades of practice and highly-skilled adjustments for comfort and vision, and the results have been amazing! I can't recommend his services highly enough! And if you aren't sure whether you can afford it, you may be surprised, considering the benefits; I considered my investment in my new eyewear this year, not just another prescription to help me see better, but an investment in attaining a better quality of life, insofar as comfortable spectacles and clear vision can affect! My deepest gratitude to Paul for being a diligent, hard working, skillful and pleasant expert in a world of seemingly greedy, unskilled, and uncaring so-called professionals. It took me too long to find you, and I will never be the same! My eyes thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.

I live far outside of any city, 2 hours from Billings so this is a major inconvenience. Not to mention, they do not take VSP so I had to pay out of pocket for the exam.

When you arrive the first time, you get a little tour. And you might think, like I did, oh boy, how much of this is my VSP insurance going to cover? Seems like a lot of overhead. But at the end of the day, what really matters is the care the docs provide. Everyone did a thorough job both using the latest technologies, as well as some good old traditional phoropter. Never felt rushed. The glasses I ordered came in faster than expected as well, and to my surprise the costs were all very reasonable.

That's the main point, but what puts them at such a high rating for me is the consistently excellent customer service! Everyone there is focused on giving the customer the best experience possible for them as an individual. It's really very apparent, and it clearly is an ongoing emphasis. As to eyecare, I can tell my glasses are doing what they should as I age. I'll be 60 this year. Before I went yesterday I was looking at my previous glasses, and I tried them on. I could clearly tell the last two prescriptions were very close, and were the best for my eyes. It's obvious that my eyecare there is working. Couple that with the service they provide, and Bauer and Clausen is just an amazing place!

The lady helping us pick out his glasses was great! She was good with my baby and she was patient with him continuously ripping them off. However when it came to billing, it was a nightmare. I asked the front desk ladies if I could talk to their insurance person because his is billed under medial not vision or vsp. And I have been in close contact with his insurance, they gave me the specific instructions how to bill, and even a direct phone number if there was questions. But I was told they had it handled and no need to talk to her. The next day the insurance lady called and told me he did not have vsp. I was livid. So I explained again it is billed under medical. I gave her the direct phone number to whom I've been in close contact from his insurance. She called he next day, confused on how it would be billed under medical. She did not call his insurance company, because "they wouldn't know". At this point I decided to go elsewhere! His vision is still developing and it is imperative that he gets his glasses. My sons vision didn't have time to argue with an insurance lady who would not listen
