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.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Steven Black for almost 16 years. We have never been disappointed in the great service we receive. Picking out glasses is a chore for me but the girls are always kind enough to give me their opinions. We would highly recommend.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kayla Black and her staff for over two years. I could not be more pleased with their professionalism, capabilities, or customer care. At 71, my vision is now better than any time in my life. Dr. Kayla Black was recommended to me by eye surgeons in Indianapolis. I recommend Dr. Black with no reservations. True quality! Jim Haas

Can't post below a 1 star. Wife and I ordered glasses a MONTH ago. Wife got hers 2 weeks ago, and asked where her husband's were. They informed her they would check. I called last week and was told I would be called when they come in. Called Monday morning ( had to leave a message every time I e called) and had a return call this morning at 9 am informing me they were trying to locate my glasses and would call me right back. I called them 3 times (after waiting 3 hrs for their return call) only to be told they JUST reordered my glasses this morning. I asked to talk to a manager, who was rude, uncaring and pushed blame onto the lab who makes the glasses. I told her the only reason I ordered glasses is because THEIR employee broke my frames while trying to adjust them, and she LAUGHED AT ME...and said well frames some last forever.. Will NEVER step foot in that store again

Dr. Harper is the best optometrist. He takes his time during the appointment to ensure quality of care. He’s thorough and listens to his patients. Karissa, a technician, provided the best service in picking frames, explaining insurance benefits and going above and behind to find what I was looking for!

My eye exam didn’t take very long, but the doctor was still very thorough in the exam and helped me with my eye sight. A lady helped me after and she was able to get me some nice frames for a really good price. The glasses were done in a day! I highly recommend this place if you’re on a budget.
