Who is an optometrist and what does he or she do?

Why do eyeglasses cost so much?

Eyeglasses are a complex optical device that is manufactured with high-precision equipment. Often expensive materials are used for the glasses. All of this explains why eyeglasses can be expensive.

What should you do before buying glasses?

Let's look at what to look for when buying eyeglasses. The first is, of course, quality. The second is the choice of lenses of glasses. Here we focus attention on the material: they can be either glass or plastic. The third is the choice of frames.

What's the difference between expensive glasses and cheap glasses for vision?

The quality and accordingly the price of the lens depends on the presence of coatings on the lenses. The higher the price, the more coatings on the lens. Coatings make our vision more comfortable. Lens manufacturers do not stand still and improve the quality of lenses.

How do I know which glasses fit my face?

It's best if the width of the frame is equal to or slightly larger than the widest part of your face. The upper line of the frames should coincide with the line of eyebrows. Smooth shapes of glasses will emphasize rounded curves of the face. To emphasize high cheekbones choose the "butterfly" or "cat-eye" glasses.

Where can I see better with glasses or contact lenses?

With lenses, you can see better, so it turns out that extra obstacles don't distort the image. Lenses don't shed dust, don't catch glare from the sun and don't distort peripheral vision-no matter where we look, the image stays sharp.

I am convinced the people who work here are angels. I was so late to my appointment due to a parade downtown today, I was so stressed and upset and they showed me nothing but kindness and took me right in whenever I finally got there. Seriously, this place is the best!

Very professional, competent and attentive staff. I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience there. Everything from intake to choosing glasses and contacts, was far beyond my expectations. The eye examination was so very thorough and, the clinician actually took the time to explain options for dealing with my eyesight problems. Can't say enough good things about Visionworks on 5th Avenue.

I went here about 2 years ago for my first pair of glasses. I had gone to a more expensive retailer for my exam without knowing their prices. I had an awesome experience getting my first pair of glasses. The staff then were welcoming and warm. That is why they get 2 stars and the second woman I encountered at this visit. This time I had scheduled online and they gave a 5pm appointment availability not aware they closed at 5 so I took it. I left early trying to account for rush hour but ended up late by 10 minutes due to construction. I'm very personable by nature and I am very understanding of policies. It was the way I was greeted by the first woman and a third woman that rubbed me wrong. I was treated as if I wasn't welcome and told they took someone because of my lateness. She told me I don't know if he'll see you and I was so taken back by the reception I almost just left. I waited and the next person was way nicer. She asked me to reschedule and looked me up. The other woman also had an attitude informing her No going along with the first woman. I had my 7 year old with me who even felt the negativity.She asked why they were so mean to me! I just said I would contact them when I checked my schedule. I just wanted to get out of there. I won't be returning to this or any other location.
