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.

Really clean office, went in the middle of 2020, the staff was very friendly. Our regular optometrist hadn't opened yet so we thought we would give this office a try, my daughter's prescription wasn't working very well and she was having headaches. As I stated they were clean and polite as well. However, I have never had a visit that the Dr has told me I can't get her to 20/20, so that was a first. I reluctantly went ahead with the purchase of the glasses with new prescription with the hopes it would help until her regular Dr reopened. They didn't her older glasses were better and as soon as her regular Dr. reopened we were there purchasing a new pair of glasses, again.

Great experience. Dr. Jorgensen is very personable and knowledgeable. He helped me and my daughter with our vision issues and let me know information I was not aware of regarding my eye irritation. Definitely worth the drive to Benton. Would definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough good things about this office. I have been looking for a good eye care provider since moving to the area 5 years ago. I called around to many offices, and the staff here were by far the most helpful and willing to spend a few minutes looking into my insurance coverage for me. I was able to schedule an appointment much sooner than I was expecting. The office is clean and equipment is up to date. Dr.Jorgenson himself is very kind and knowledgeable, he took time to explain things and answer any questions I had about my eye care needs. I ordered glasses and they were in within a few days. I had trouble (with my insurance) ordering contacts and his staff were very prompt in returning my call with the information I needed.
