Who is an optometrist and what does he or she do?
Optometry is a branch of ophthalmology that specializes in methods of correcting vision using optometric aids. An optometrist is a specialist who determines the degree of vision impairment and prescribes corrective aids such as glasses and contact lenses.
What is the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist?
What is the difference between the profession of an optometrist and an ophthalmologist? An optometrist only provides initial diagnosis and can only treat refractive errors with conservative methods.

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.

Dr. Burr is my all time favorite Optometrist! Professional but down to earth providing above and beyond eye services. Definitely recommend. Her practice was formerly on NE side of Cedar Rapids but now is located in Target store SW Cedar Rapids. I live in Marion that means she's now about 15 miles from me but I will continue to be her patient. So worth it 100!

They won’t answer the phone or my voice messages! I can’t even get a copy of my prescription to get my glasses! Such a joke! This is probably the 10th time I’ve called since my first visit…. Ridiculous and a waste of my time and money….. useless prescription. Can’t go in since I moved back home….

optometrist was awesome, efficient, super funny and friendly. i told her i had a little white coat syndrome (scared of doctors) and she told me she does too, and the white coat culture can be frightening, so she made a point to make me feel comfortable and actually showed me the details of the ocular images (not sure what they’re actually called). i’ve never had anyone do that for me before! normally i just get an “it’s all good” and they show me out, but she pointed out all the details for me including a little bit of wear on my left eye, and made sure i knew it was all normal, not a problem and that kind of “wear” is very common in folks who are nearsighted. she talked to me about how my vision appears to be reaching the stabilizing point in my 20’s and audibly celebrated, which made me feel really good, because i’ve always been told my vision will get worse for my whole life. she even told me i picked out cute glasses :) rory in the lobby was great too. he’s a really nice guy. he was very very busy but didn’t let it get to him at all and made sure we all felt seen and taken care of. all around great team, great experience.
