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.

Nice clean office! Excellent service! Really nice staff! This company accepts Care Credit Card. Supplied with lens cleaner & cloth as well as care instructions. They have a day with late hours; so we didn't have to loose time @ work. Really good warranty! Highly recommend!

I will never be back. The optometrists are great, but separate from the store. When we tried to purchase frames/ lenses the staff could not, for the 3rd year in a row, get our insurance to work. We drove a mile and a half to Eyemart Express and walked out with EIGHT pairs of glasses for 2 of us using our benefits for $88. Absolutely DONE with Lens Crafters who blamed us when they could not enter our insurance info correctly so we could use our benefits. The "manager" person has treated us poorly 3 times. We are done with Lenscrafters. Go to Eyemart Express.

Dr is awesome. One particular staff member needs a class on patient experience. We will not be back which is too bad because we like the doctor but I refuse to be treated badly by someone on a power trip.

I went to Midwest Eye Consultants & Dr. Faust for the first time this month. It was a wonderful experience - especially finding new glasses. I have been to other eye businesses and was discouraged at finding the right glasses. But at Midwest I had a personal meeting and fitting for the right glasses with Jessica, and it was like having a fashion show for eye glasses! Everyone was so helpful and informational. I feel so happy that I finally found the right place for my eye visits.
