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.

It was a great choice going to this clinic for my eye care needs! When I arrived I was met by a welcoming staff and an immaculate showroom. Dr. Varney is beyond thorough, making complex problems simple to understand. They are true professionals I would recommend to anyone!

Recently saw Dr. Spoula for eye exam, contacts, and dry eye evaluation. Dr. Spoula was very professional, knowledgeable, and took time to explain all her recommendations to me. I felt comfortable and confident with her suggestions. In fact, the entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable from the time I made the appointment through choosing my glasses and contacts.

Cyren was extremely nice and caring. She handled multiple customer issues back to back and kept her composure and a smile on her face. She is a wonderful fit for the company and i hope to work with her next time I come in. Go Cyren!

Wow. The staff is so friendly and pleasant, that I'm writing a review for the first time ever! My Dr. was extremely talented, knowledgeable and THOROUGH! All staff - the front desk, assistants, the doctor, and eye glass sales staff also provided excellent custom service. Sincere thanks to David Mejia!

Visited five times in two months to get my contact prescription corrected to no avail. Yes, you read that right (probably because your contacts actually work). On my sixth visit I settled for a prescription. It wasn’t great but I accepted that seeing the world blurry was my new reality. I paid with my insurance and they sent me the wrong prescription. What did they send me? One of my old prescriptions? Guess again. A box of a six month supply for some made-up prescription. Their computer lost all of my previous data and said it was an anomaly so there was no going back to the prescription I had a year prior. They told me that reversing my insurance wasn’t possible so they would do a “swap out” when I finally found a prescription I liked. Well, I wasn’t ever coming back so that wasn’t going to happen. Talked to every worker, every manager, left multiple messages to the GM and never got contacted back to fix this mess. A few weeks later I called the headquarters and they said it was being handled. And it finally did. The GM, Louis called me to apologize. He told me the insurance was reversed and my money was sent back to my card. Still waiting…
