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.

I found this place New Year's Eve, when I was wanting to get an appointment before the start of a new "insurance" year. Dr. DeFaria was kind and accommodating. I got an appointment within the hour and stopped by. Parking was on street, but since the location is on a quieter street, it really wasn't a problem. A lot of selection on glasses and when I went in they were running a 60% off sale on BCBG frames and lenses. The eye appointment was quick and thorough. He recommended monthly lenses since I am great at caring for mine but was fine with prescribing me the Acuvue Oasys (every 2 weeks) since that is what I was used to. Contact eye exam, out of pocket, was only $110 which is the cheapest I have found around. Perfect place to go get your annual checkup to keep up with your contact purchases.

Having lost my progressive glasses, I needed an appointment with an optometrist and, of course, new glasses ASAP. Imagine how pleased I was when I walked into the Visionworks in Framingham just a 1/2 hour before closing and the staff went into overdrive. Not only was I able to get an appointment the very next morning, but I was able to pick our frames for both daily use and sunglasses. Lauren, the store manager, was my guide and was kind enough to be brutally honest on what looked good and what did not. In less than 10 days I received perfect pairs of glasses. What's more, the optometrist fit me with progressive contact lenses so that I could see in the interim while waiting for the glasses to be delivered. Thanks to you all for a spectacular job. I recommend everyone who needs eyewear to work with this establishment!

Beware of jerry ellis. If he is working there, do not let him repair your glasses! Earlier this week I went in to have a minor adjustment. He grabbed both sides with his plyers and wrenched them about 1/8" up, pulling the glasses away from the frames and almost popping out one of the lenses, then basically threw them at me. My $500 glasses are now distorted, the frames are bent, and one lense is still partially out. It seemed intentionally malicious, and now I can't even see out of the glasses.

Went in to do some window shopping for glasses on a busy Saturday and wanted to give a shout out to Katie at the front desk. Customers were constantly streaming in and she made an effort to greet every person. I asked her if she could look up a past purchase of my old glasses since I wasn't sure if I bought it at VisionWorks. She could not find my information in the system so she offered to look at my frames and instantly recognized that the brand was not a brand they ever carried. I was really impressed! And she answered my other questions about lens coatings as well. Due to her expertise she saved me a lot of time and walked out with my questions answered. Thanks!
