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.

Nice people, but........... Had an eye test age chose some new frames, even though my prescription had not changed. 10 working days later the glasses were ready and i picked them up. However, if i looked sideways out of the glasses, things were blurred, do they took their measurements again and sent them back to the lab. This time i waited 13 working days (!) and the exact same issue existed with the newly made glasses. At this point i decided a wanted a refund. After checking everything over AGAIN they agreed to issue me a refund. HOWEVER, despite the fact that i had paid by credit card, they could only issue a refund by faxing their corporate office and getting them to issue a check - which takes 2-4 weeks! I will not be using this company again and suggest you don't bother either.

From the first moment I walked in I felt comfortable. The ladies at the counter were very mice and Dr. Welter was terrific at explaining things and very thorough. The young lady (Audri) helping with the Eyeglass selection process was great. I hate to say it but I enjoyed the experience. I say that because I it's hard for me to part with hard earned money.

Dr. Roberts was great; staff member got a little nasty with me when I couldn't get their rediculously priced glasses. They must work off commission. I didn't even go there for glasses. My doctor sent me for an exam because I turned 50. When I told the girl I just want a copy of the exam she said "nope". I thought jeez, I can get reports from any other doctor. Like not getting mammogram report unless buy implants.

Outstanding! Dr. Cayon was absolutely amazing. Patient, thorough, kind, and professional. The staff were all so very nice and helpful. Being open on Saturday was so convenient. I will definitely be going back for future visits. Thank you.

This review was written when the office was Dr. Hubbell Eye care. I haven't been to Clarkson since it changed names. I have sensitive eyes and have a very difficult time with glasses. Especially wearing trifocal lenses. The whole staff are super polite and have tremendous patience with me. I highly recommend them. Also this is the only place that gets my wife's progressive lenses correct the first time and every time.
