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.

Amazing customer service! The staff here at America's Best took great care of me. Having made an appointment and taking care of the questionnaire via email set me up for an even better experience. I was in and out in about an hour and got some of the coolest glasses. Amir was so helpful and a straight shooter! Give that dude a raise!

Best optometrists I have been to in my 30 years of eye care. They take care with every visit from the receptionist to Dr. David and Dr. Harlan Snyder. I highly recommend these top notch optometrists.

I didn’t get my eyes examined here but i did purchase my glasses here. I had gone in to do a price comparison with physical and online retailers. I found out that for the price of 2 pairs of high index glasses with transition and blue light filter and anti reflective coating and scratch resistant coating, costs the same if not less than only one pair at the other retailers. The wait is long and there’s a lot of people. Some of the staff are courteous but others are not and unwilling to help/impatient. It’s really luck of the draw on what type one would encounter. But for the price, I would put up with the not so approachable staff and be extra appreciative of the awesome ones.

Went here today as a new patient after I switched my insurance plan. The staff were incredibly friendly, organized, and helpful. I've never seen a more organized office. They had different staff for each step of the process: checking in, initial eye check up, doctor check up, and payment plan processing. I didn't catch the name of my optometrist (she had a short bob hair cut if that's any help) but she answered all the questions I had and took extra care to make sure my prescription wasn't too high, which was a problem I had with previous offices that give me massive migraines if I wore my contacts for too long. I want to give my special thanks to Amairani, who helped me with processing my payment and choosing the right frames for my glasses. I expressed my dissatisfaction with my current frames (which were metal, old, and made me look older than I was) and she was so helpful in helping me find what I wanted. In the end, after trying on tens of frames that Amairani personally handpicked out for me, I found a pair that I loved and immediatly purchased. During the process, I never felt like I was being rushed and I felt truly cared for as a customer, especially one that isn't too good with current trends. This is now my most preferred optometrist office! It also helps that this location is near a giant plaza with endless parking spots!

Popped into this place randomly, needed to get some glasses fixed. Owner here, Keith is a one man show! Super friendly and great customer service! He even hooked it up with fixing my mom's glasses nosepads for free! Store has a large variety too! Planning to get a new pair of glasses soon here since its so close to home! Because of the welcoming service and the distance, definitely hard to find in the Alhambra area since there's so many Asian business here! I'd definitely recommend anyone to come here.
