Bettner Vision
At Bettner Vision, our keratoconus and scleral lens institute specializes in diagnosing and treating patients with keratoconus - a progressive eye disorder that results in the thinning of the cornea. Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that specializes in eye anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eye.

Vision therapy, sometimes known as orthoptics, is akin to physical therapy for the eyes and brain. It is a non-surgical, customizable set of exercises and activities that aim to resolve symptoms that interfere with visual abilities, motor skills, and brain function. Our eyes and brain are inseparably linked.
Services
At Bettner Vision, our multifaceted optometry and ophthalmology practice is made up of the most experienced specialists in the eye care industry. We use state-of-the-art modern technologies and leverage global research to provide a comprehensive and unparalleled eye care experience. We are passionate about providing our patients with incomparable eye care in a comfortable and trusted environment.
Healthy, functioning eyes are the cornerstone of good vision. Regular eye exams can detect eye diseases early, which is the best way to protect, monitor, and manage the health and development of your visual system. Book an appointment with Bettner Vision today. We'll assess your vision and eye health using the latest diagnostic technology and cutting-edge procedural techniques while doing everything we can to keep you relaxed and comfortable.
Are your eyes dry and irritated most of the time? Do you find yourself rubbing or blinking excessively to produce moisture and relieve discomfort? If so, you may have a condition called dry eye. You wouldn't be alone: currently, there are an estimated 16 million Americans who have been diagnosed with this chronic condition.
Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that affects the way objects are seen: when a patient has myopia, close objects appear clear, and distant objects seem blurry and out of focus. A recent study indicates there are currently 9.6 million American adults who have myopia, and that number is expected to rise.
Laser eye surgery is a refractive surgery that involves reshaping the surface of the cornea, correcting the way light refracts into your eye so that it falls on the retina and provides clear vision. For a majority of patients, the recovery time is quick, so it is an increasingly popular option for vision correction in adults, offering freedom from glasses and contacts.

These people are literally the best. You’re having a bad day and have to go them? All better. They are so sweet and have the best personalities. I love going here (just to get treated so so SO nicely), not the point, haha, but the staff is the best thing you will ever experience. I would recommend this place to any/everyone.

Dr. Bettner is a wonderful doctor. He has helped me through some serious eye issues and is always very thorough in my check ups. Dr. Tobler helped me with a serious allergy reaction and I will always be grateful. Michelle helps me pick out glasses and she “gets me”! All of the technicians and staff that I have interacted with are kind and knowledgeable. This is a very well run office and I always get excellent care. They should get 10 stars, not just 5!

I've been going to Bettner Vision for several years.
I believe they have excellent doctors and even with recent employee turnover, as a whole, they still have a good staff.
My problem is this:
If I'm paying top of the line pricing for glasses, (If I remember correctly my sunglasses were approximately $850-$900), I don't expect to get surprise bills.
Around 3 months ago I had an eye exam at Bettner. I have AARP insurance as well as the best supplement you can get. (Due to macular degeneration in my eyes, I have received eye exams and shots in my eye every 6 weeks for years from

I would not trust anyone else with my vision needs.
Dr. Heather Van Law is an expert in her field and it definitely shows. She is always patient and professional. Dr. Van Law has gone to great lengths to help me navigate my complicated vision issues.
I trust her with my care and wouldn’t see anyone else.
A big shout out to her assistant, George. He is very knowledgeable and always welcoming. The level of his expertise is very evident.
The staff always greets me with a smile. It is nice to be recognized when I walk in the door.
This office is amazing. I highly recommend.

Will not use bettner vision again. after five trips to bettner and four trips to costco for three different prescriptions i still see better with my three year-old prescription glasses. my first exam was with dr tobler. he tested for cataracts and found that my left eye was worse than my right eye. took his prescription and had new glasses made which resulted no better vision. returned to bettner vision and had prescription adjusted. had new lenses made that resulted in no improvement. dr bettner did another more extensive exam and indicated that no prescription would give me really sharp vision

Honestly wish I remembered the name of the associate that attended to me. So sorry I forgot his name. But he was amazing. Very professional and took time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. He is the reason for this 5 star. Definitely recommend to everyone including veterans. Colorado springs is not known for good customer service so this company definitely stood out to me. Never change

Can't say anything negative at all about Dr. Bettner and his staff. He is very knowledgeable, his staff is friendly, and the office is very clean and professional. When you have any sort of eye condition I recommend coming to Dr. Bettner. My daughter was about 5 and had some redness and swelling to her eye lid and I didn't hesitate to take her here. They can get you in quickly and they take the time to explain your eye conditions and prescriptions. Highly recommend!

I was in this morning to pick out frames for new glasses. Bethany & Shannon were so helpful in helping me choose the best frames that fit my face, complexion and hair color. I chose Bettner Vision among a long list the VA gave me because of their 5 star rating. From the moment I walked in and through the whole process, it was clear why they have earned their 5 star rating. As a bonus, they are only 5 minutes away from my house. Bethany held my top 3 choices for me to go home and discuss/show my wife to help make a final decision. It is easy to recommend a place that gives you great service

I want to take a moment of my time to express how much I was impressed with Bettner Vision. I had heard a radio commercial that had a good feel to it and being in the market for a good pair of prescription sunglasses and actively seeking another optometry shop I decided to give Bettner a visit. I am sure glad I did. Bettner will be my go to for all my glasses from now on.
All the persons I came in contact with were very professional. I worked directly with several individuals and all were a pleasure throughout the entire process, from my first phone contact to my pick up & fitting.

I was thoroughly impressed with my visit to Bettner. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. No pushy sales people for glasses. The seamlessly easy check in process for new patients didn't have me spending 15-30 minutes filling out paperwork. Technology was an added bonus. My appointment started before time, and they got me in and out without lacking in quality of service. The doctor was knowledgeable and explained things so clearly. He made a serious effort to perform a full and thorough exam.

We are so grateful to have found Dr Bettner. I have now brought three of my kids to him, from age 12 to age six. He has set a new standard for pediatric eye care on my experience, because of his patient, kind and friendly approach. The clincher is that while his manner brings relaxation and puts the patient at ease, he maintains efficiency and expediency. You won't be left waiting or wasting time. He obviously sets the tone in his management because I would say the same glowing things about his whole staff.

Friend of a friend recommended Bettner Vision and I am so glad she did. Best customer service I have ever received at an optometrist. Never did they try and up-sell, were genuinely interested in the health of my eye and made what is usually a dull hour getting an eye exam seem so much more fun! Highly recommend Bettner Vision for your next eye exam.

I would consider going back if everyone in there wasn't a salesman.
Every single person I came across- front desk, person leading me to exam room, doctor, lady helping me choose a pair of glasses, & someone I didn't notice until the end of my appointment- tried selling me. On contacts, upgrading the eyeglass wear, everything.
All very pushy, explaining to me that insurance would take care of it, all I had to do was sit for a contact exam.
I wanted a simple eye exam. Not take advantage of my insurance for you.

Love a Saturday appointment, they had a little lounge area that my 5 year old sat in and watched Batman, soooo many brands for glasses and had 2 of the women helping me with suggestions. Didn't have to dilate my eyes, just took retinal scans? Photos? No puff of air in the eye (yay). Dr. Bettner was quick and efficient with the overall exam, offered so many options ie. Lasik, contacts, daily's, glasses, prescription sunglasses, without being pushy or salesy AT ALL. It was so nice. Picked out a few different frames, finally decided on Ray-Bans which were only about $100 after insurance

Bettner Vision lacks significant customer service standards and business ethics that one hopes for when dealing with eye glasses. I've gone to Bettner Vision for my eye care needs for the last ten years, but throughout this past year, I've had major problems getting a simple prescription pair of sunglasses. Initially, Dr. Christopher Bettner agreed to comp the pair of sunglasses due to my mistreatment by the staff and all of the drawn-out issues with fitting the bad pair of glasses. However, when I went to collect the money for my "comped" pair of glasses, the office manager

By far the best eye visit I have ever had. Easy to make an appointment, all staff was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Bettner was the best optometrist I have seen (and I have seen many different eye doctors)...he answered all of my questions, was very educational and easy to talk to. I can tell he is an expert in his field. I will continue to go to this office and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great eye doctor!

Very happy with Dr Bettner. He treated my 6 year old with great care. Very good with kids Dr. Bettner really shows a great deal of patience. The insurance wasn't an issue and picking out frames was a snap. They are the best eye doctor that "eye" have ever been to.
