Best Optometrist

For 16 years---13 of them at his own practice ---Gaetan Lang has been servicing the eyeballs of the Bayers Lake and Fairview communities. In fact, some of his wee patients, whose first glasses he helped fit, are now in college. “It makes me feel older,” he laughs. Lang says patients either visit him for preventative purposes or because they’re having problems with their vision. But even those with sparkling 20/20s, who are in their 20s, should consider a trip to the eye doctor every two years. The Village at Bayers Road, 453-6100
