It is impossible to give universal advice on choosing the perfect frames and lenses. But there is one golden rule: when choosing frames you should consider not only their appearance but also discuss the following questions with a specialist (optometrist): Where and how, mostly, are you going to use your glasses? What are your habits? Do you plan to wear your glasses while playing sports, for example? Eyeglass lenses have different optical powers, which are expressed in dioptres. The optical power is determined by fitting glasses. Size of the frame - the larger the frame the more aberration (distortion) may be at the edges of the lens.
What frame fits on the lens?
Metal and plastic frames are equally suitable. In particular, active activities such as riding a motorcycle, running or playing ball require curved frames to protect the eyes from wind, insects, debris, etc.
How do you know if eyeglass lenses aren't right?
You can tell if lenses are not suitable by certain signs. It is important to understand that there is an adjustment period for any optics. Symptoms of improperly fitting glasses are as follows: headache; dizziness; a feeling of sand, increased tearfulness of the eyes; high fatigue of the organs of vision.
Why do my eyes hurt when wearing new glasses?
Eye muscles learn to compensate for changing visual demands. Because these muscles and focusing systems suddenly have to work differently, you may develop headaches, dizziness, or just a feeling that something is wrong with your eyes. (This also applies to contact lenses).
Which glass or plastic eyeglass lenses are better?
Glass makes it difficult to make a progressive or aspherical lens. Also, glass lenses do not fit rimless frames. Plastic lenses are twice as light as glass lenses, so glasses with them are more comfortable to wear for a long time, and plastic lenses are much less traumatic than glass lenses. Firstly, plastic itself is more resistant to breakage, and secondly, its splinters are not as sharp and dangerous.
Which lenses for glasses are more expensive?
The thinner and stronger the lenses, the more expensive they are. Lenses made of photochromic, polarizing or sunglasses are more expensive than colorless (clear) lenses. Lenses can be stock or prescription lenses. Stock lenses are cheaper - they are ready-made, in stock, and can be quickly fitted to eyeglasses.

Bryant Jones | Rating: 5 | Eyeglass World
My glasses broke, and I was in a tough spot. I only had an old pair, and everything was blurry. I was afraid that I would have to mail my glasses in somewhere and wait a long time to get them fixed. I called around, and Eyeglass World said that they could help me. I didn't need an appointment--I just walked in. Hannah helped me and had them fixed in no time flat. What a help. She was very kind and professional and did a great job. The location was clean, professional and very convenient. I certainly recommend coming here for your eyeglass needs.

I first met John Roche in his Winchester location on a day when I was in that community for other business. After spending just a few minutes with him, it was easy to see his vast knowledge is the optical field and his total commitment to customer satisfaction. Upon returning home that evening I mentioned my encounter with John to my wife and we agreed that we were both ready for a change, having worked with a local but far higher volume optical shop. We visited his Lexington store that weekend and met with John and his son Francis, who oversees the Lexington location. We saw many great options for new eyeglasses and even got a solid recommendation from John for an established ophthalmologist for eye exams. A couple of Saturdays later we returned with our new prescriptions and chose some distinctive new eyewear. We both received our new glasses last week and are extremely happy with the frames, lenses, fitting and overall service from John, Francis and the entire Roche team. We're so happy to have found the RIGHT opticians for us! UPDATE: About a week ago I detected an issue with my new eyeglass frame and stopped by; Francis called later that day to ask me to bring them by to examine the issue and identify a solution. Received a call today to say that "your glasses are in" and was stunned to find that Francis had obtained an entirely new replacement frame to resolve the problem. What great service!

I love coming to this office. I chose this office because it was a small office owned by the Doctor. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. It is important to me that when I visit doctor's offices that it is run like a family-owned business and not a factory. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an optometrist. Dr. Costa is very friendly and she did an excellent job at informing me of my condition, and her staff did a great job helping me pick out my glasses. I cannot say enough good things about this office, and this is my new optometry home :)
