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.

Doctor Chang was great, he was very interactive. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The frame selections were just ok, but I did find a couple that I liked. I will be going back in a year for my next check up.

Dr Hixson is one of the best optometrist in La Mesa. I know so because I’ve been to several of them. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and cares about his patients. He fits contact lenses right on! He spends the time a patient needs and if needed, a patient goes home with trial lenses to make sure it’s the correct fit, then returns for final fitting. The office staff is friendly, helpful, informative and professional. They are very accommodating in regards to scheduling.

First of all, this is a where house big box supply store. Their prices are cheap, they have a ton in stock, therefore you will just have to put on your granny panties and expect to wait sometimes. :-P Otherwise, when exercising patience & understanding of where you are, their products and prices are above par! We've all gotten our glasses and Dr care here for the past 2 years. The Dr care is super speedy and efficient. My son said he can finally see with the care & glasses from Costco! We always took him to a Dr office for care & glasses, but they constantly missed something so his glasses would never help, and was so stinking EXPENSIVE! But when we switched to Costco 2 yrs ago, he got his sweet Ray Ban glasses for a huge fraction of the price his Dr office would've charged and his first reaction was, "I can SEE!" :-D

Dr Greg was super cool. Ever since this pandemic started I’ve been having a hard time finding an eye doctor. I was beyond grateful that he is open right now. Eye doctors are essential.. Thank you doc

Believe it or not, at (almost) 27 years old this was my first time seeing an eye doctor! Dr. Peters explained everything perfectly and was confident in everything she was doing/saying which I really appreciated. She also asked about my personal life and was very conversational which was nice. The staff there were also so great and friendly and let me ask a bunch of questions.
