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.

Cathy Owen | Rating: 1 | John Alexander, OD
I had an appointment with Cathy Alexander this morning at 8:40 AM and I am very sick. Doing the right thing, I called at 8:00 AM to cancel. Here it is 8:44 AM. I have been on hold for 44 minutes! Now I am late and still no answer. Is anybody there???

I have a complex prescription, and from the initial ordering to me walking out the door and seeing images so clearly, I am impressed with your professionalism and customer service. Thank you, Rick.
Chris Cervantez | Rating: 5 | Visionworks Cherryvale Mall
I purchased my glasses here a while ago and needed them adjusted. Shelley cleaned my glasses and was extremely friendly and helpful. My previous experiences at this store have always been great! I would highly recommend this store for eye exams, glasses and contacts!
Brittany Krulock | Rating: 5 | All About Eyes - Rockford
Absolutely love all about eyes! Their staff is so polite and professional! I scheduled my appointment online and was able to get in the same day twice now! Once for glasses and once for contacts. The doctors are friendly, polite, and personalable! All the saff is highly knowledgeable and very quick to answer any questions. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

What a wonderful experience I had at Eyedeal Optical! The staff was very kind and helpful. Service was very attentive and swift. I couldn't believe the extensive selection of frames! Thank you for taking such great care of me! I now have a cute, sassy pair of glasses and sunglasses with my prescription. I'll be back soon to build my repertoire of stylish glasses!
