Who is an optometrist and what does he or she do?

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.

It's hard to get an appointment with Dr. Klaahsen as all her patients like her. And new patients definitely will need to wait in line. Her staff always follow up with you after and they make you feel like family. There is a family owned store opening to her office. The store has new collection of glasses everytime I go. I always get my contact lenses from them and they are the best at suggestions on anything eye care and they even give you samples so you can try which ones suit you best and place your order.
Merry Murray Meade | Rating: 2 | Warby Parker Cambridge
Well I went in because my lens were scratched and was told I just hadn’t cleaned them properly. So I bought their cleaner and the only thing it did is show my lens are indeed scratched. At my eye doctor appt. They asked if I knew how scratched my lens were and I said yes I did.
Eeshaan Adiga | Rating: 5 | Harvard Square Eye Care
Appointment was very thorough. The doctor was very understanding of the discomfort and issues I was facing with my sight, and was very clear in explaining possible root causes for them. i have been a patient at the Harvard square practice for about a year now, if not for my insurance limitations, I would be getting my eyes checked regularly at this practice. Highly recommend.

After picking and paying for a new pair of glasses, I waited 2 weeks to receive my glasses that never came. When I called, they told me they couldn't make the prism glasses they sold me. The salesgirl I spoke to on the phone suggested I get my prescription changed so that they can get glasses for me. They should have called me to let me know. I ended up ordering a cheaper, better fitting pair of glasses online. Warby Parker SHOULD NOT be instructing patients to get their prescription changed so they can sell more.

My wife suffered diplopia at the hands of a hack anesthetist at Mass Eye & Ear. The intermittent double vision made life very difficult. No one there offered any recourse or help other than suggesting New England College of Optometry. They offered no help either. Dr. Phillips persevered with my wife and finally arrived at a combination of astigmatic and prism correction which enabled her to see reasonably well most of the time. We shall be forever grateful for his competence and caring.
