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. Steinberg did a wonderful job helping me out with my glasses and exam. I tried to use bifocal's and twice they did not work out. No problem they gladly exchanged the lenses out at no additional cost. Staff are always nice and helpful. Highly recommend you try these great people out!

Dr. Dupuis is an exceptional doctor. He took the time to really understand and address an issue I was having with my eyes, an issue never approached by any other eye doctor. I have been wearing contacts for over 15 years. His attentiveness to detail was outstanding. I feel so lucky to have found an eye doctor that cares.

Making an appointment was an easy process, I received reminders and was able to fill out paperwork online before going in. I found Paige to be knowledgeable, kind, and humorous. I had a pleasant experience here and I recommend it to anyone!
Daniel Bosco | Rating: 5 | Dr. Bollenbacher & Associates
While I did not meet with Dr. Bollenbacher, I did meet with one of his associates Dr. Marrocco. She was fantastic. I went in for what I thought would be a normal check up because I have was having vision/pain issues in my left eye. She was very thorough and detailed in the examination which lead her to refer me to an Ophthalmologist, which from there referred me to the ER for an MRI which lead to me being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It might sound like a leap, but I strongly believe that a lesser optometrist would not have had the attention to detail and care to start this referral process, and may have resulted in me not discovering this terrible condition as early as I did. I will always be thankful for Dr. Marrocco for what she did for me. I recommend her to anyone experiencing any vision issues. Plus she sings while doing the check up which was a treat.
Ian Mcadams | Rating: 5 | Pearle Vision
Thanks to Ashley and Adam for their help finding new frames, going through the options for frames and lenses, making sure all of my insurance stuff worked out, and in general just being fantastically helpful. I have had some bad experiences at other optometry places, so I'm very glad Pearle Vision is there to pick up the slack.
