At The Eye Clinic, we’ve been taking care of the vision of our Portland patients for over 70 years. Our mission has been to offer wide-ranging expertise in eye conditions such as glaucoma, along with the finest general eye care for regular eye exams, and a wide assortment of frames and contacts in our optical shop.
We recently moved and updated our offices to increase our capabilities. We’re still in the St. Vincent East Pavilion, but we moved down a floor to a better space in suite 340.
While this has been a crazy spring, we’re looking forward to getting back to normal this summer and we look forward to seeing you for your next eye exam or other optical need.
