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

Optometry is a branch of ophthalmology that specializes in methods of correcting vision using optometric aids. An optometrist is a specialist who determines the degree of vision impairment and prescribes corrective aids such as glasses and contact lenses.

What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist?

What is the difference between the profession of an optometrist and an ophthalmologist? An optometrist only provides initial diagnosis and can only treat refractive errors with conservative methods.

What does an optometrist do?

Functionality: eye examinations, selection of types of vision correction (glasses, lenses), recommendations on eyeglass lens designs and contact lens materials, and advanced medical services.

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.

Dr. Z and his crew are the best! So helpful and my eyes are doing great after suffering from dryness for so long. Marie, Susan, Megan, Phil and Jackie have all been so helpful and are so cheery and delightful. It’s always a pleasure to visit the office and so productive!


Jeff Pelton  |  Rating: 5  |  Urban Optics Optometric Center

The people who work at Urban Optics were great from beginning to end. My eye exam was calm and relaxed, and the technician was happy to answer any questions I had about the different tests. Dr. Zucker is very professional and walks you through the advanced exam and the results step by step. When it came to selecting glasses, the staff was very knowledgeable about the different options manufacturers and never did I feel pressured to make any rushed decisions. Definitely recommend this group.

Dr. Santizo is a very good optometrist and offers helpful natural information for good eye health. Never had "rude" service at front desk as described in previous reviews. I wouldn't buy frames there anyway since it is a small place so no issue with sales.

Just walked in hoping to buy new glasses or get a appointment, since I have been told by several shops that my current glasses (bent missing screws) had no hope. Ricky greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked me what my glasses needed, without hesitation replaced the screws, tightened the frame, cleaned, all in less than 5 min. No charge, I'm so grateful. I will definitely be back soon to buy new glasses and contacts, great customer service. Thankyou.

I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Mietus and his whole team. Dr. Mietus is very professional and leaves no stone un-turned when it comes to getting the most accurate diagnosis and prescription. For someone like myself, who has a complicated prescription and has a number of vision issues that need to be considered when creating a prescription. Steve who is the front office manager is very responsive and helpful - does a great job of giving updates. I have not tried the vision therapy with Dr. Mietus but I've heard great things.
