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.

Cancelled one hour before appointment after sending two confirmation texts and three confirmation emails and accepting insurance information. Receptionist said it was my fault because I didn't read a notice at the top left of their website saying they weren't accepting new patients (again, even though appointment was accepted and confirmed).

We love the care we receive from Dr. Daniel Hunsicker. Any questions or concerns are always addressed. Education is always being provided as he conducts our exams. Always an excellent experience. Sale staff provides the same level of care. Very helpful with choosing products and transparent with insurance cost and coverage. We have recommended Pearle Vision White Marsh to several people because of the staff and service.

I really love my glasses and I got them in just one hour. Your customer service agent was spectacular. She helped me select the right glasses for my face. She was very helpful, kind, and attentive. While I cannot remember her name, I know you can locate her just by using my name. Because of her, I would refer anyone to Lens Crafter at the White Marsh mall in Maryland. Respectfully, Ofelia R.

The customer service at this location is exceptional. I have always purchased my contact lenses here and this year after a bad experience buying glasses online, I decided to also purchase a new pair at the store. I can't express what a difference it made, the associate that worked with me on my eyeglasses was superb. I am thrilled with my new glasses and even more so with the overall experience!

I bought 2 pairs of glasses in 2015 or 16. I still have them and in good condition. I just bought 3 more at a reasonable price. You can work out payments if you are consistent if the prices for the frames are a bit too high to pay flat out. Customer Service is still Decent over the years
