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.

The staff at the SSP location were fantastic. I was greeted and seen on a timely basis. The process took about an hour from start to finish as I needed an exam, eye dilation and some photographs of my eyes. My questions were answered and when I didn't understand something it was explained to me again. It was a very thorough eye exam and Dr. Huron was wonderful. Thank you and I will return to this location in the future.

The staff was super nice and the office clean but 3 people in my family received prescriptions/glasses that offered no improvement from our previous. One lens I had them re-do my prescription for and replace because it didn't work for me at all. My wife and daughter returned back to their previous glasses as they found them much clearer.

I needed the nose pads replaced for my glasses. First time trying a LensCrafters at Macy’s instead of a standalone store. So convenient to have a store inside Macy’s and was helped immediately. The Optician is excellent and very experienced! He thoughtfully picked a pair of nose pads which are the most comfortable ever! Going to the stand alone LensCrafters stores had been stressful for me during the pandemic but this experience was so relaxing and the Optician did a perfect job adjusting my glasses and nose pads. I walked away so happy!

Best customer service and very personable. I try going to the other south shore plaza location but it always seems off-putting... the Macy's location is comforting and the guy there is so helpful-- 10/10 recommend

It was my first experience with this place and I loved everything, the doctor, the staff was amazing. A week later I Went back to pick up my 2 pair of glasses and the guy that was there supposed to help out with the pick up wasn’t helpful at all. I left with one of my glasses crooked because before I said something he said to me “you are all set” and didn’t even give me the opportunity to say that my glasses were crooked. I was happy with everything until then. I hope you guys find someone that is actually wanting to do their job.
