What Patient's Near Colorado Springs & Cañon City are Saying About Our Optometrists
Patient Testimonial:
"I was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in late 2017. I was hesitant at first due to other optometrists prescribing wrong lenses. I was referred to Dr. Blair by a friend do to Dr. Blairs specialty dealing with patients with TBI. Dr. Blair listened to my complaints and concerns. He told me what the process was, what it would do and how it would help me with not only my vision but also my balance and perception. For me this would be the first time that I put my health first. I was skeptical at first that the therapy that Dr. Blair offered would work. But it did. This therapy has helped me with not only my vision, awareness of my space, balance, but also my constant headaches. I can not thank Dr. Blair enough for what he has done for me. This therapy has changed my life."

Dr. Santos was amazing! She took the time to explain unique situations with my eyes that other doctors had touched on... but never fully explained. She is a breath of fresh air in the medical field. My experience started out positive when calling to schedule the appointment. The front desk is kind, courteous, and empathetic too. I would drive great distances to visit!read more

I have been using Blair Vision for all my eye care since 2017. The sign of a we'll run business, is their staff... retention. Every staff member that was there in 2017, are still there today. I in this day and age that speaks volumes about the kind of management that is here. Dr Blair, in my opinion, wants all his patients to see the best they can see. He goes out of his way to make sure that the prescription is as near perfect as it can be. Dr Blair never makes you feel less than you are his most important patient, and does not rush through the exam. I have always dealt with Michelle on the ordering and fitting of my glasses, and you can tell you that if something is wrong, she will fix it. Her personality puts you at ease immediately, I have never seen a business quite like this. I highly recommend Blair Vision.read more

He has diagnosed problems with our daughter that we didn't know were... going on...just by giving her an eye exam and putting her in therapeutic lenses. He changed the treatment plan for our son's lenses, and his eyes are tracking better and he goes down in his prisms every few months. He has been a big blessing!read more

Plan 3 hours for a visit (doc was good and very approachable, explained things very well - 20 min of the visit),... assistants were rude and very condescending when insurance information was disclosed, told it would take 2 weeks for glasses to come in.... called today because there has been no follow up and was told it could be up to 8 weeks due to insurance. This was not told when we PAID and ordered the glasses. NOT GOING BACK because of office staff professionalism. I will not be treated that way or let my kids see people treat others this way. Extremely disappointing. I would not reccomend going here.read more

Front desk staff was very friendly. My technician was rough and didn’t seem on top of things. Terrible... conversationalist as she spoke maybe seven words. No warning or explanation about the very invasive procedure she conducted on my eyeballs that were already in pain. Worst care in an eye clinic and perhaps in any medical clinic. The doctor was nice and did a great job but I won’t be back because of the tech.read more

Initially I called in to get a quote on an eye exam for a contacts prescription. Theresa helped me and quoted me. I... called back later to set up an appointment and Theresa was very helpful and polite again.
At my appointment I was checked in timely and orderly and treated professional and with respect.
Dr. Jaxon was informative. He was very kind and personable. He also wrote me two prescriptions for different brands of contacts so I did not have to come in for a followup. Overall my experience was extremely pleasant and I look forward to any correspondence or business I have with Blair Vision Care in the future.
I am truly satisfied by the exceptional service and care I was shown at this office.read more

Dr. Blair has been my husband Michael's optometrist since he began his practice in Walmart. My husband may of been... blinded (in both eyes) if Dr. Blair didnt take immediate action to get him into surgery for a detached retina. This happened in the other eye in the following year. Also, Dr. Blair trusted my husband enough to accept payments on his contacts when he could pay until paid off and could receive his contacts. Definitely, a kind, caring, attentive, and skilled optometrist. My husband Michael refuses to go to anyone else, even when we lost our vision insurance.read more

Today I was greeted with smiles by Val & Heather at the front desk. These two ladies are warm, welcoming, friendly and... very helpful. On this visit I had come to see Kelly. He is an Optician and is a Lens Cutter Specialist. I will tell you from past experience that Kelly's lens cutting is spot on. He is very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of his position. After I'd left my visit with him I was confident I had all the information I needed to make informed decision regarding which lens' I wanted to purchase. My eyes are the windows to my world and I greatly appreciate the staff at Blair Vision Care in Canon City for their wonderful care. As a side note, when I walked in there was a table of all homemade treats including chocolate chip cookies, a queso cheese dip with tortilla chips, and chili. The smell was heavenly.

I was referred to this practice for multiple symptoms like pressure in head, new difficulty with reading, and doing... office tasks at my job, which were not resolving after a car accident months ago.
The ophthalmologist and ALL the staff at this practice were welcoming and looked invested in helping me diagnose the problem. They assist me with paperwork, testing prior to seeing the doctor and picking the frames to start the treatment with “prismatic glasses” to help resolve an eye muscle strain or misalignment that is causing problems.
Now, I am looking forward for the treatment to work. Great service so far!

Dr. Blair and his amazing staff took great care of me, and I can see better than I have in years. Through an in depth... and thorough exam from Dr. Blair, I went from single vision to progressive prism lenses. Michelle helped me pick my new frames and fitted me for them. Within a week and a half I had my new glasses! Both Michelle and Kelly have been fantastic about me coming in once a week to make sure the glasses were adjusted perfectly for the prism lenses and that I was adjusting to my new progressive lenses. Even the office staff are fantastic, every time I come in to have my lenses adjusted they call me by my first name, WOW!

I came to Blair Vision Care simply for an eye examination to refill my contacts and was very impressed by the detail... and extensiveness of the exam and communication. Also some of the friendliest front desk staff I’ve come across in a medical office.
As another health care practitioner, it is important to understand and listen to the patient’s need and these guys go above and beyond to find the patient the best solution to a visual problem. They even have extensive training in brain injury and neck trauma and how it related to the eyes.
If you or a family member is suffering from visual problems, especially after a head injury, these are hands down the doctors you’re looking for.read more

I was very nervous going into this. I had an accident and received a concussion from it along with other problems. I... went to Blair Vision and the treatment I received was over the top. I started thinking I was loosing my mind because what my eyes and brain were doing. But what it was is I have a serve visual midline shift. .my eyes and brain are fighting one another to work correctly. The lady that helped me the most( everyone there was so very helpful) but Sharon I believe was her name, helped me by knowing what I was going through. She assured me I was not going crazy. She helped me with the paper work and talked to me and asked about my symptoms. I was relieved to hear that I'm not the only one that knew. So with this being said.if you need a great group of people for your vision, go see the great people at the Blair Vision on Austin bluffs. In the springs.
I'm betting you will see that these professionals actually care!!!read more
