Our eye care clinic is located on the first floor which is addressed 1616 Cornwall Ave. Suite 105 Bellingham, WA 98225. We are in the same building with Bellingham Athletic Club, Unity Care Dental, and Performance Physical Therapy.
Vision insurance - aka "eye insurance" or "vision plan" or even "vision discount plans" are all types of vision benefits that cover all, or part of a routine eye exam the type of eye exam that is a check up which does not include management of medical eye problems like glaucoma, cataracts, corneal abrasions, strabismus, amblyopia, convergence insufficiency, eye tracking problems, diabetes or even eye allergies or pink eye.
We are a small business located in Bellingham, WA. We offer competitive wages, good benefits and a great work environment.

Great experience. All of the staff are friendly and take good care of their patients. They provided an explanation of my vision benefits and were very helpful guiding me through the process as somebody who hasn’t been to the optometrist in more than a decade.

I felt very happy with my visit to Northwest Vision. Dr. Charron listened to what I had to say about what I felt was happening with my eyes and was very helpful with responses afterwards. Leah was immensely helpful on the day before my appointment. She texted me through the process of any problems that occurred. Overall, it was such a friendly, stress-free environment. I have no complaints!

Everyone in this office is wonderful and vision therapy has been a HUGE turning point for me, I can’t recommend them enough! Recovery from an injury is bittersweet because I’m feeling so much better but I’ll miss my regular visits.

Having lived in quite a few towns around the country, I've been to many different vision clinics. I can confidently say that Northwest Vision is my favorite! Everyone I've interacted with has been so kind, helpful, and caring. Their knowledge is top-notch and the space very inviting. If you are looking for a local Bellingham clinic, I highly recommend Northwest Vision!

I usually don't leave reviews, but Dr. Charron is absolutely amazing! I felt like the examination was really thorough and he took the time to ask me detailed questions about my eye health/history - not to mention a really friendly person! The office staff were all incredible as well, super helpful, patient and kind. I really recommend northwest vision development!

Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They have a large selection of frames with a lot of support. The office has a laid back but efficient feel. I highly recommend Dr. Charron and his office.

Super helpful and knowledgeable. Friendly staff that explains everything really well. Clean, professional space.
Dr. Charron really knows what he’s doing and how to set you up for success. I’ve struggled for years (and with three doctors) trying to figure out what was happening with my vision, and he nailed it in 40 minutes. Impressive. Leah does a great job of explaining every step of every process in a kind and patient way.
