As someone fortunate enough to call Eyes on Broadway my professional home, I typically pen articles celebrating all the splendors of our diverse, creative city of Portland or sharing insights on maintaining eye health. But today, as we approach another round of the Willamette Weekly's Best of Portland Reader's Poll (voting begins June 1 !!!), it's time to give you a bit of the inside scoop on our vibrant optometry hub nestled in the heart of Broadway Street.

Over a decade ago, Eyes on Broadway set out to become more than an optometry clinic. We sought to embody the unique energy of Portland, harmonizing medical proficiency, innovative eyewear, and a community spirit that resonates with our city's eclectic ethos.

In this city of globally-inspired food trucks, eclectic music venues, and creative artisans, we've found our rhythm. Every patient we see, whether for emergencies or routine checkups, experiences the level of meticulous care you'd expect from a seasoned mixologist crafting the perfect cocktail. Our optometrists are as dedicated and detailed as Portland's revered chefs, providing comprehensive eye exams and various treatments for various eye conditions.

Eyes on Broadway is not just about eye health; it's also about style. Our eyewear collection is a veritable art gallery of designs featuring high-end brands like Jaqcues Marie Mage, Robert La Roche, and Francis Klein, along with unique pieces from creative, independent designers. Every frame in our store is a testament to our commitment to blending quality, function, and style, catering to all budgets. Explore all of our styles here.
