About Our Doctors

Dr. Chad Lawson, Bethany Optical

Dr. Chad Lawson

Dr. Chad Lawson graduated from Pacific University school of Optometry in 2000. He started practicing immediately and in 2001 purchased Cornell Eyecare from Dr. Raymond Roy. Now, 22 years later, Cornell Eyecare relocated to Bethany Village, thus the name Bethany Optical. Dr. Lawson is proud to be serving the third and fourth generations of patients that started with Dr. Roy. We feel that our patients are family and look forward to their yearly exams.

When not at work, Dr. Lawson enjoys golf, any outdoor activities, camping, cooking and more golf. He is an avid sports fan, always ready to talk about Oregon Ducks football, Blazers basketball, and golf. He and his wife, Caryn, have been married since 1995. They have 5 children, 3 dogs and 2 cats. Dr. Lawson and Caryn are very excited that their children are starting to leave the nest. Travel is their favorite activity along with golf.

Patient Testimonials

This is my optician of choice. Everyone at the store is warm and patient.
They figured out my insurance before I was there and the wait time to get my glasses back was about two weeks, pretty fast.

Patient Testimonials

Probably the best customer service I have ever had from a business. I had glasses that I had wore for years suddenly start to feel heavy and put uncomfortable pressure on my face. They went above and beyond to make sure I had comfortable and lightweight glasses.

Took me a couple weeks to find a nice and friendly eye place near my new house, but I got lucky with this group. The doctor and the staff are so amazing and kind! They truly make you feel special and like they care about you.

What a great place! I was referred here for a specific sunglass frame and Caryn was amazing. I will be back when it comes time for my annual eye exam.
Thank you for being so welcoming.
