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.

Jackie Branco | Rating: 5 | Oronoque Eye Care: Waterbury
My son is 4 years old and has what is referred to as a lazy eye. We spent the.last year at another office and during that time I started to feel that it was all about the money. We where not happy with the long wait times and push to purchase services not covered by insurance. After our first visit with Dr. Bonnanzio and her staff we where thrilled. Everyone was so nice and we did not wait long to get in. My son and I had our appointments scheduled together which was great. Dr. Bonnanzio took the time to explain her treatment plan for my sons condition and made sure we understood it. She was very patent with my son who had a million questions. We picked out our glasses and Marie was great with her recomindations. When there was a coverage issue she even called to let me know and explain what was done to help us. I can't recommend Oronoque Eye Care enough and really am looking forward to our next visit.
