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.

These doctors are theee best. My family has been coming here for over 20 years. I couldn't see for like 6 months after I moved away and went to a different provider who gave me the wrong contacts Rx. Thank you Dr. Gutierrez I can read street signs again! She is kind and helpful, highly recommend.

I was greeted within 20 secs of getting there even though they were busy took me in on my appt got my through the process of exam and showed me frames and went through the lenses with me as well but this really impressed me I didn't even realize the insurance I had was accepted here and I figure I would be paying for exam and all out of pocket but I only had a co payment that was fantastic thanks to OLIVIA who was the manager she was awesome I will defiantely be back for my next exam

Great service and selection. Dr Hitomi and Maria are professional and just awesome. Never feel pressured to make an extra purchase or service. Prescriptions are spot on or they make it right. Will be back year over year.

At a very early age I was diagnosed with ambylopia and astigmatism, I wore glasses since I was around the age of Five years old and loathed looking at anything with or without glasses. Everyday was a struggle and just felt like a grueling chore to go to school, reading, tests, and trying to take notes looking at a chalkboard was just... Terrible. Around middle school I went to SoCal Eye center where they diagnosed me with ambylopia and astigmatism yet again, we got referrals to see an optometrist in LA but to no avail they could provide no assistance to my cause.At this point I lost hope, and when my aunt said Dr. Stephy has "Vision Therapy" and such I shrugged it off as another quack trying to sell a scam. This was not the case, his one consultation opened my "eyes" (haha) and realized he had a solution. After his one meeting I was eagered to order a new pair of glasses with him which was HALF the cost I was paying for glasses at the LA optometrist. That\s right glasses that offer more help to my eyes for HALF the cost! Dr. Stephy changed my life forever, he is a legitimate angel, and I will never forget what he did for me. If you suffered all your life like me, PLEASE JUST MAKE ONE APPOINTMENT WITH HIM IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! HE EVEN SET ME UP WITH A 504 PLAN (HE PUSHED FOR IT AND ACTUALLY HELPED ME GET IT) AND NOW MY SCHOOL WORK HAS IMPROVED AND MY GRADES PLUS I GET EXTRA SAT TIME. THIS MAN IS A GOD LIVING AMONG MEN!
