Services
At Elkhorn Vision Center, each member of our vision care team is selected by Dr. David Hardy based upon his or her experience, professional demeanor, and dedication to providing personalized care to our optometry patients. Our entire optometry staff is committed to ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of each and every patient.
Angel is new to the state of Montana, coming to us all the way from Daytona Beach, Florida. Having an expansive eight-year background in Optical, she has worked all aspects of front desk, opticianry and some insurance billing, but most of all, laboratory work. As our lab technician, she will be providing you with quick, high-quality glasses that will keep you coming back.
Proper eye care is important for people of all ages and regular eye exams are encouraged for everyone, but especially for those already using glasses or contact lenses. Your vision plays a vital role in your life each and every day, which is why it is so important to take the right steps for maintaining good eye health.
At Elkhorn Vision Center we know that loving your frame is the first step in actually wearing your glasses. As such, we take pride in our large selection of stylish and affordable frames from top manufacturers in the industry! We have frame choices that span across both genders and all ages.

Not all frames will be currently available in office but if there are any that you are interested in, we would be more than happy to order them in for your approval.Square Face: A square face features a prominent jaw line, wide forehead, and angular features like the chin and cheekbones. The length and width of a square face are roughly the same.
New patients keep our business growing, so we are always proud to offer high quality optometry services to our patients. We understand that your first visit to the eye doctor can feel overwhelming and we try to accommodate all new patients with a comfortable and organized facility. Our goal is to cover everything you need with a full and efficient assessment, but without waiting to see the doctor.

Going to the eye doctor is like being called onto the principal’s office but the staff was very patient with me. Dr Hardy answered all my questions. They were a bit rushed with my son’s contact appointment but to be fair we were 4 appointments and he choose to go last so not really their fault.

Very professional with the latest equipment.. but what we really like is the laid back, comfortable atmosphere and friendliness. They take the time to make you feel like you're a friend of the family. They are also take time to explain or clarify any insurance or payment questions. Today I was throughly content with the answer the bookkeeper/head receptionist gave me regarding a billing question (Medicare versus our vision insurance) but she actually had the doc come out and explain the process in greater detail. I've been going to Dr. Hardy for over 25 years when he first came to Helena. I STILL

Dr. Hardy’s staff was able to fit me in for an emergency visit on a Saturday. I live out of state, was visiting the area, and needed to be seen before I could get home. When I got to his office the front desk person was friendly and professional. His office is spacious and well kept. Best of all is Dr. Hardy himself. He is relaxed yet professional. I explained I was having an issue with my left eye and he went right to work. He asked questions about what conditions I was experiencing and went through a variety of tests. He explained that I had a detached retina. He then took the time to schedule

I've seen Dr. Hardy and his staff on two different occasions. Both times I had a pleasant experience. The staff was professional, courteous, and made sure all my needs were met. I can safely recommend this practice to anyone looking for eye-care.

Dr. Hardy is an awesome eye doctor, he's very thorough and truly cares about your eyes. It's nice not to feel rushed and to feel truly listened to during a doctor appointment! The staff are awesome and always friendly, and who doesn't love a big goofy golden retriever greeting you at the door? Couldn't ask for a better office!

I received two eye exams at Elkhorn Vision Center after I experienced problems with my eye. The staff was polite, professional, and quick to cater to my needs. Their lab technician is highly experienced and dedicated to providing top notch service. I couldn't ask for more when seeking out an eye care facility. I highly recommend Elkhorn Vision Center!

I had been a customer of Elkhorn Vision for a number of years and also have brought my 4 children in each year just before school to get an eye exam. 3 out of 5 of us have to wear glasses/contacts. I had a co-pay of $4.00 that I was given a call about 7 months after my visit. When I asked for the bill to be mailed to me the person I spoke with said it wasn't worth the stamp to send it, but would email it me, and sent it to me on 04/21/17. I then received another email on June 2nd saying they were going to send me to collections for my $4.00 co-pay. The thing that upset me was that I have
