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.

Excellent team here who are friendly and organized. They help with insurance and ordering if contacts. She updates her equipment constantly so the exams are fast and accurate. I haven’t purchased glasses here yet.

I don’t usually post reviews, but felt I had to share my experience because I just love Melrose Family Optometry! Kim is the sweetest - she is so professional and I always look forward to my annual eye exam to catch up with her. It is a very comfortable, family-like environment and the staff are all so kind. I was especially impressed with their cleaning protocols and how streamlined things were during COVID.

Their selection is large there hours are good. For what you pay they are not good X my glasses as failed tinting I bought them at another place in Melrose and they were fantastic they will always dock I take them out of the case today even though they are scratched and I get real doc you can't even see my eyes with these glasses from Melrose Family. I'm always squinting I returned them already once I give up and I'm going somewhere else

I was in need of a simple pair of reading glasses and visited a dozen separate optical shops. I found that all the locations I visited were two different types: glasses would be far to expensive and the vendors would try to sale you them using typical catchphrases so you would waste your money, or the glasses were far to cheap and the vendors didn't care that much about selling them. Then I visited Family Opticians in Melrose! The employees were very friendly right from the start and didn't try to push any sales on me. The selection of glasses were perfect and the prices were great for the quality of glasses they offered. It took me only about ten minutes to select a pair of comfortable glasses and then only a couple minutes more for the employee to confirm my insurance and place the order. I will gladly recommend Family Opticians to anyone who is looking for a quick, friendly location to select a pair of affordable, stylish glasses.
