Hastings Vision Clinic, P.C. is an optometrist in Hastings, Nebraska. The practice provides comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, and treatment of eye diseases, along with an optical and lab for eyewear, glasses adjustments and repairs, and pre- and post-operative care for LASIK or cataract surgery.

The practice traces its history to 1972, when Dr. John McBride opened the McBride Vision Clinic in downtown Hastings. He practiced there for more than 25 years before moving to the office on west 12th Street. Dr. Richard Arneson joined him in 1987 and has practiced there since, and Dr. McBride retired in 2006. In 2011, Dr. Eric Arneson joined the practice after graduating from Pennsylvania School of Optometry. The practice has grown steadily over the years and continues to offer the latest frames and lenses as well as the newest contact lenses on the market.

Its services include routine eye exams, which the practice describes as a vital part of preventive eye care because many eye disorders do not have clear symptoms. A contact lens exam begins with a comprehensive eye exam covering health history, eye focusing, eye teaming, depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, pupil response, eye fluid pressure to check for glaucoma, and evaluation of the retina and optic nerve. The optical lab is equipped with tools and staffed by professionals who fit eyewear, and the practice also handles precise adjustments and repairs for glasses that need them. Patients can order contacts through the practice's ordering portals.

The clinic is located on W 12th St, about 0.2 miles from Hawthorne Elementary School and 0.4 miles from Raymond A Watson Elementary School. Oswego Park is roughly 0.6 miles away, with Chatauqua Pavilion and Libs Park each about 0.7 miles from the office.

The practice is known for the positive rating its customers have given it, reflected in reviews that describe helpful, kind and cheerful staff, thorough and friendly care from Dr. Eric and his team, a comfortable setting, and short waits to be seen.
