Eyecare Associates of Lewistown was founded in 1957 by Dr. Jack Payne, who served th e community until his retirement in 1995. Dr. Randall Hoch joined the practice in 1991 and continued caring for patients until his retirement in2024. Dr. Jason Ricks joined the practice in 2007, followed by Dr. Paige Nash in 2017.

Our mission is simple. We provide the highest quality health care available, with an emphasis on ocular wellness and prevention. Comprehensive eye care means more than writing a prescription for glasses or contacts. We watch closely for early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration, often before they threaten your sight. Every recommendation is grounded in what is best for your long term vision, not just today’s visit. Schedule your comprehensive exam and feel the difference.
Our patients are cared for by a team of skilled, dedicated optometrists. Dr. Jason Ricks brings expertise in sports vision, specialty contact lenses and ocular disease, along with seven years of service on the Montana Optometric Board. Dr. Paige Nash completed a residency in ocular disease with a focus on glaucoma care and brings advanced training in complex eye conditions. Together, they bring big city expertise to small town care. Learn more about each doctor on our Meet the Team page.
