Care for outdoor Montana lifestyles

Between Belt Creek, the Highwoods, and long days working outside, your eyes work hard. UV protection, dry eye management, and polarized prescription sunglasses are common conversations at every annual visit. We build Rx sunglasses in-house so you never have to choose between prescription accuracy and eye protection.

Diabetic and preventive screening

Every comprehensive exam includes digital retinal imaging so we can screen for glaucoma, macular changes, and diabetic retinopathy. Patients managing diabetes should have a dedicated diabetic eye exam each year, and we send a retinal report to your Belt-area primary care provider on request.

Insurance-wise, we currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Allegiance, Montana Medicaid, and Healthy Montana Kids. Self-pay pricing is transparent and quoted up front.
