It is impossible to give universal advice on choosing the perfect frames and lenses. But there is one golden rule: when choosing frames you should consider not only their appearance but also discuss the following questions with a specialist (optometrist): Where and how, mostly, are you going to use your glasses? What are your habits? Do you plan to wear your glasses while playing sports, for example? Eyeglass lenses have different optical powers, which are expressed in dioptres. The optical power is determined by fitting glasses. Size of the frame - the larger the frame the more aberration (distortion) may be at the edges of the lens.
What frame fits on the lens?
Metal and plastic frames are equally suitable. In particular, active activities such as riding a motorcycle, running or playing ball require curved frames to protect the eyes from wind, insects, debris, etc.
How do you know if eyeglass lenses aren't right?
You can tell if lenses are not suitable by certain signs. It is important to understand that there is an adjustment period for any optics. Symptoms of improperly fitting glasses are as follows: headache; dizziness; a feeling of sand, increased tearfulness of the eyes; high fatigue of the organs of vision.
Why do my eyes hurt when wearing new glasses?
Eye muscles learn to compensate for changing visual demands. Because these muscles and focusing systems suddenly have to work differently, you may develop headaches, dizziness, or just a feeling that something is wrong with your eyes. (This also applies to contact lenses).
Which glass or plastic eyeglass lenses are better?
Glass makes it difficult to make a progressive or aspherical lens. Also, glass lenses do not fit rimless frames. Plastic lenses are twice as light as glass lenses, so glasses with them are more comfortable to wear for a long time, and plastic lenses are much less traumatic than glass lenses. Firstly, plastic itself is more resistant to breakage, and secondly, its splinters are not as sharp and dangerous.
Which lenses for glasses are more expensive?
The thinner and stronger the lenses, the more expensive they are. Lenses made of photochromic, polarizing or sunglasses are more expensive than colorless (clear) lenses. Lenses can be stock or prescription lenses. Stock lenses are cheaper - they are ready-made, in stock, and can be quickly fitted to eyeglasses.

This place is great and has an excellent variety of glasses to choose from! Everyone here is very polite, professional and knowledgeable. My only small complaint is when the doc was using the piece of equipment to check my vision, about half way through flipping from each lens, it was like the rest had been grabbed by someone and there were fingerprints all on them(?) Not sure, could have been someone messing with it prior to my exam. Don't be afraid to tell him it's dirty, he'll clean it right away! Other than that, honestly I'll keep going back for any of my eye needs. Retail stores are overrated and again, these guys (and gal) are extremely helpful! Thank you so much for helping me trust in a small business! Never going back to chain businesses again after this great experience.

AVOID this company and all of their locations. They lied me trying not to schedule a recheck for contacts. Also with the glasses I have a distortion view. And they said “it’s a matter of time while you get used to…”. That’s being made to prevent recheks. And more over they charge you completely upfront and when you try to correct issues with the vision they stick to their “Non-Refundanle” policy. In my case they gave me EXPIRED contact lenses. I don’t know how the State of Florida license a business like this. AVOID this place. DO NOT TRUST your eyes to this company.

I went to America's Best at University Plaza hoping to get my glasses frame repaired. I'm disabled and use a power chair for mobility. Unfortunately, I fell asleep in my chair and my glasses fell off. When I woke up, my power chair had run over the glasses and severely bent the bows and frame. I didn't know if they could be fixed or how much it would cost (since I had not purchased the glasses from this store). To my surprise the glasses technician was extremely kind and fixed the frames even better than new. Not only that but she did the repair at no charge. This kind of public service deserves my future business. The next time I need new glasses, I will go to America's Best at University Plaza. I can strongly recommend them for their willingness to help a disabled person for free during these COVID- related inflationary times. Everything seems to be more expensive nowadays. So a store willing to help for free gets my highest recommendation.
