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.

Very professional staff all around for the eye exam and picking out glasses for myself and my daughter. They were very efficient in this process; I've never had it go so quickly. We will definitely be back!

Yesterday was my first time at Dr Tavel & I was extremely happy with my experience! Everyone was super welcoming and made my first appointment stress free! I found not one, but two pairs of glasses in my budget! 10/10 would recommend everyone to come here!

Loved my experience. From showing up, to assistance picking out frames, to the exam, and finally ordering my glasses. Picked them up today and so far extremely happy with them. Highly recommend. They appear to enjoy their jobs and do them correctly.

Horrible customer service! They don’t accept my insurance so I don’t have enough money and the lady told to apply for care credit and if I was approved they will credit to my account $50, never happen .. Well I was approved and pay $400 for two pairs of glasses that supposed to be buy one and get second free. Anyways I pay this on october and and is december, 9 without any answer of my daughter glasses done. No refunds, no reassurance of my issue being solved. All the glasses we have purchased are never done in time or correctly! They don’t know how to do a proper job in taking care of the customer. Don’t shop here! 0 Stars!

Extremely friendly staff! Jessica was especially helpful when it came to helping me decide on frames, lens options that would best suit my vision, and even payment options. Thank you so much to everyone at Dr. Tavel for a pleasant experience.
