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

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.

Faythia Williams | Rating: 5 | Eyemart Express
Everyone was very helpful. I can't remember the lady who took my order. Her name started with a T. When I picked them up Shannon I waited on me. She made sure I felt good with the glasses, she explained everything to me and she was extremely nice. I noticed her with a couple before me and she was the same way.
Lorna Purvis | Rating: 5 | BSGI Holding
This was my first appointment with Dr. Zach and his staff. Everything was explained to me in detail so that I understood what all the machines were for and how they would work. The exam itself was very interesting watching the new technology that Dr. Zach has in his exam room. I would recommend the Target Optical office to my friends and family
Kevin Diekroeger | Rating: 5 | Bergh White Opticians
5 stars, this business bent over backwards to help me out and I was not even a regular customer. They were able to get me replacement frames for expensive lenses when SEVERAL optic shops in Champaign said there we none available, And I would have to get new glasses. Thanks Bergh-White for your help.
Victoria Nichols Johnson | Rating: 4 | Target Optical
Rachel at Target Optical has been most helpful. But the staff that handled making my new lenses damaged my frames and did not inform me until I called to find out why they hadn’t come in. At least I get a free replacement.

I have been dealing with obstructed vision for months following a car accident. After seeing four specialists, and several attempts to remedy the problem, my eyesight was still declining. It was Dr. Hendricks that spent the extra time and found posterior subcapsular cataracts to be the problem. Ally from the office went out of her way to get me in with an ophthalmologist for surgery. Many thanks for the extra time and care!
