Binyon Vision Center

Dr. James R. Binyon opened the first Binyon Optical Company in 1911 on First Avenue in Seattle. He went on to open several other offices in Everett, Tacoma, Spokane, Richland, Yakima, Bremerton and Bellingham, which opened in 1934. At one time, it was estimated one of every three Washington families wore glasses dispensed by Binyon Optometrists.

The mission of Binyon Vision Center is to help every patient see their best, look their best and enjoy a lifetime of good eye health. Providing the best service from the initial phone call through the detailed eye exam to follow-up on any product ordered. Offering the highest quality eyewear and educating our patients on the most advanced technology to help them see and look their best.

Comprehensive eye exams consist of two parts: refraction (vision testing) and an eye health examination. After a discussion about how you use your eyes during the day, our optometrists will perform a refraction at multiple distances:. Using the phoropter (shown in image) the doctor measures the refractive error in your eyes which translates to a prescription for glasses.

In order to see well, we need healthy eyes. This is true for everyone and not just those who are wearing corrective lenses. Our eyes, like the rest of the body, need vital nutrients and sustained care to function at a high level. What does "healthy eyes" mean? An eye injury can cause vision loss or even blindness.

Our optometrists are available to address emergent eye problems, provide ongoing monitoring of eye conditions such as glaucoma or dry eyes and provide post operative care for Lasik and cataract removal. If you are experiencing any issues with your eyes, please call to discuss with one of our doctors as soon as possible.
