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.

Don't buy sunglasses from Warby Parker! I bought a pair and when they got scratched, I went in to buy another pair. At that time, I was told they had a 1 year lens scratch guarantee, but I had bought them over a year ago. So I bought a new pair. When they also got scratched, I called customer service to let them know and they said the policy was changed to a 6 month lens scratch guarantee. But good news! It was one day before the guarantee expired. I was asked if they were prescription glasses (the customer service person on the phone had pulled up my receipt and saw they were not prescription). I said no, you can see that on the receipt. I was then told their lens scratch guarantee was only on prescription glasses. Very disappointing.

This place has always been so great over the years. From the front desk staff to the Doctor herself, everyone is efficient and friendly and makes the whole appointment a breeze. I truly appreciate the care I've received here. I recommend this place to everyone needing eye care!

Dr. Borne has been our eye doctor since I started going to the eye doctor as an adult. We love her. Great service and she is the sweetest. Plus we get our glasses the same day.

Called 25 times to get a response the first time, just to ask if I could get an appointment to get my prescription checked. Was told I’d receive a call back within 30 minutes, had heard nothing back over a day later. Called another 10 times just to be told they aren’t checking prescriptions for contact lenses right now. Not sure why getting this information was this difficult.

By far, the best eye doctor in New Orleans. Dr. Jackson and her team are caring professionals who are knowledgeable and efficient. I wear contacts and glasses, and am so pleased with both. Will never change eye docs again!
