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.

Terri Whitworth | Rating: 1 | Mayes & Ware Eye Care
My first time going to Dr. Ware. Upon after my eye exam I picked out my frames and bought very expensive lens/frames total cost for both was over 600.00 for one pair. Such a lesson I learned and that’s not the most expensive frames. I had to return my glasses after a few weeks because of pour Quality frames that was not cheap. Now 9 months after having different frames the color has chipped off in 4 places plus I have a smog section in the middle of my right lens. Called today to be told by the eye glass Dept that my frames are covered for one year it’s now been 9 months since I bought them and my defective lens I have now that coverage ended at 6 months which was 3 months ago. I also explained I bought the glass cleaner wipes as instructed by their staff since it was a special kind that’s safe for my lens. Then during my conversation, I was told the staff should have not told me to use the cleaner wipes to use Dawn liquid Instead.

After Dr Avery retired I had to find a different eye doctor, so when my husband started his new job he got his safety glasses here, and they was really good to him. so I came for my eye exam to get my contacts and Dr Compton was excellent. The best next to Dr. Avery.
Brad Hill | Rating: 5 | My Eyelab
All the employees were very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. They didn't rush me through and they took their time making sure everything was right. My experience could not have gone any better or smoother. I had no issues with the exam, receiving my new contacts or my new glasses. The caring helpful ladies were even great at helping me pick out eyeglass frames that they thought looked good on me. I will highly recommend My Eyelab to everyone.

Everyone from the moment I arrived were very professional, courteous and kind. Brittany, who did my pre-exam was especially caring and recognized the fact I may be a little apprehensive about the outcome of my exam. She was reassuring and I appreciated that very much. Everyone I encountered from start to finish was great!

Excellent and friendly customer service from literally every employee. They are incredibly helpful and patient with any questions and/or suggestions insurance issues. I received my glasses two days after ordering them and my contacts will be shipped to my home for free. I know others have stated that they had poor experiences, but I had just the opposite experience.
