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.

Didn't feel confident in my eye exam. Dr wore a mask.but he was to quick and told me he thought I was to demanding. Next To get glasses, picked out Frames I wanted, trifocal and Translation lens. thought $600 was a little high but I walked out because the people working there didn't wear masks. There was one guy who came over wearing one then while sitting right in front of me 3' away. took it off. I just instantly got up said I'm leaving. for $600 they didn't care. They didn't take covid19 seriously. Not risking my life for a pair of glasses..

The manager of this institution, I believe her name is Sandra, an African-American lady, is the absolute rudest woman in the world! She really needs to take a class in customer service and manners if she’s going to be a manager!

Love doctor Ortiz but the dude that answers the phone for him has lost me as a customer! Dr should be where he has a good front person. If you can’t help a patient then you should have the Dr call them not just answer for him. I am more than unhappy to have to go to another Dr because of a poor front person.

The staff was wonderful and patient and went beyond their duties. The Doctor explained step by step my results and was so kind and informative. Best eye facility I have ever been to for myself. Thank you Wilson Eye Center for your excellence.

I'm on the road 90% of the time ,I try to spend my money on local businesses. While I was in town I had an exam, where I got my glasses the lady at the desk just handed them to me without fitting them. I called back because their was a problem. The lens crafter made an adjustment and made my Safety glasses before I had to leave town. I called that next day to explain I was still having problems. I spent 1000.00 for the WORST set of glasses I've ever had. The explanation was my eyes will adjust to them .
