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.

Excellent service, I bought a pair of glasses online and they helped me without an appointment figure out the problem with the glasses I ordered. When I called the help line they refunded my payment and applied it to the glasses I purchased in the store no questions asked. I always knew Walmart had great prices but now I know they have great customer service to boot.

Used my insurance to pay for my contacts since they would be more costly and never got my contacts. They gave me a trial pair and those weren't right for me so they sent out for 2 more pair so see if I'd like either of those. Said it would be a few weeks before they got them in. A few weeks went by, which turned into over a month with no call, email, or text, I finally called them and was told since it's a new year I might as well make another appointment and come in, there's nothing they can do about last year. Should be able to get my trail pair next week, hopefully it's a good fit and can actually get my contacts. There was a new woman there who seemed really nice so hopefully she calls like she said she would, I have faith in her.

At 4:30 this afternoon, a pretty blonde haired lady tightened a loose fitting on my glasses for free. I did not buy my glasses there. She wasn't sure if she could fix them, but, she went in the back, and, voila, it was done! Thank you!

I have done everything possible to be as nice as possible to the vision center staff. In return, I have been patronized and accused of having an "issue". Dr. Durnan is great, but the staff is horrible. They don't communicate with each other which often results in different staff members getting half the story and making mistakes to try and fix other mistakes. If you go here, make sure you deal with the Dr or the office manager directly if you have trouble with your contacts.

First off the Dr was great with my daughter how ever Jennifer my her feel horrible so I was trying to talk to her and joke but she was haveing none of it so Katrina was awesome we Were speaking and joking with each other went to check out and Katrina and I were speaking about how the associates joke and cut up when Jennifer aproched the register and accused me of talking about her to her manager at which point she pointed out that Katrina was the manager first of all we changed personnel so I did not have to deal with her and secondly we Did not say anything about her I wanted to move because my daughter was uncomfortable with Jennifer and I did not even make that an issue I just ask if some one else could wait on us to checkout .
