Who is an optometrist and what does he or she do?

Optometry is a branch of ophthalmology that specializes in methods of correcting vision using optometric aids. An optometrist is a specialist who determines the degree of vision impairment and prescribes corrective aids such as glasses and contact lenses.

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.

Dr. GARREFFA is a professional, thorough very knowledgeable eye doctor with a great "bedside" manner. I never feel rushed for my appointments or my daughter's, and we've received excellent care from him. His staff is also professional, helpful and very kind. Highly recommend Forest Park Eye Care.

I definitely do not recommend this place at all. One of my pairs of glasses came with the lenses incorrectly positioned so they made me very dizzy and were out of focus. Then when I took them back to see what they can do they took the glasses and never contacted me again. So they basically stole a $200 pair of glasses from me. My contacts were also incorrectly sized so they were very uncomfortable and out of focus. Finally the prescription was incorrect for one of my eyes (I have astigmatism). They did not help with any of these concerns and took no responsibility for completely messing up everything. I spent almost $600 there and it wasn’t worth it at all. So if receiving good customer service, correct prescriptions, and not having your glasses stolen, then do not go here.

I love this place. Having lived in three countries and who knows how many states, this is one of the few doctors I felt actually takes me seriously. I kid you not, this gentleman spent over two months trying to get my ultra finicky specifications down to a tee. I know, two months sounds extreme, but this was not due to a lack of skill, more that my eyes are in fact that finicky. His patience and his dedication to his customers go above and beyond. I have seen so many opticians, I have had the same complaints of not being able to see just right. I am stunned that this gentleman took me seriously.

Got an exam done for $70 as the ad stated you'd get a free exam if you bought a pair for $70. That's not what happened and wasn't in the mood to argue with staff that was not interested in their employers best interest. Even the optometrist whose name is 16 letters long showed no passion for her trade. I had to extract information to get direction about what is best for me. What happened to taking pride in your work??? 2 Stars for convenience and at least learning I have a need for reading glasses. Do not recommend otherwise.

If I could give this location ZERO stars, I would. The individual seated at the front desk REFUSED to thoroughly verify our insurance even though I provided them with the insurance name, group number, last four of SSN AND and phone number to call. Long story short, I has to make the call myself and ended up just getting a plain eye exam because I didn't want to give them any more of my money. Don't come here! These people don't want to do their jobs.
