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 could tell shortly after my exam began—that East Lansing Family Eyecare was a professional atmosphere. I felt at ease with their attention to detail and the clean peaceful surroundings. I would highly recommend to someone hesitant about eye care—to make an appointment without delay.

He was nice and helped me get my prescriptions. But two years ago I asked him if he thinks I would qualify for LASIK surgery and he told me that because I’m far sited I did NOT qualify and I would have to get the more invasive and expensive clear lens exchange surgery if I wanted to go that route. I found out recently LASIK treats both far sited and astigmatism patients so I went in to see if I qualify and I definitely do. This goes to show how he cares more about his business and keeping patients than he does about what they want. But I suppose it’s hard to find people who genuinely care about what the patient wants and needs over making money these days. Disappointed that I waited two years to challenge the testimony of this doctor and I wish I went in initially with distrust and asked for a second opinion from the beginning. But now I do not need to worry about having an eye doctor anymore! Follow up: so far my eye site has been amazing. No issues and the surgery went really well and the follow up did as well. I am thrilled for the first time in my life being able to go without glasses and I am so glad I went through it!

This was one of the best eye exams I have ever had. It is very clear that Dr. Jacobs loves his job and really enjoys educating his patients. The staff was phenomenal and helped us pick out eyewear. They quickly figured out our style and likes and dislikes in glasses and were able to suggest other styles we may like. This process wasn't overbearing at all either. Altogether, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend seeing Dr. Jacobs to friends, family, and anyone here.

Dr. Thompson and his staff have always been extremely helpful when we needed anything- no matter the day or time. He is professional and very knowledgeable about all of our somewhat unique eye care needs. I would recommend him to anyone.

We love this office. They are always ontime, the ladies who work there are super nice and they are great with our kids. The eye doctor is the best one I've seen in decades. She never seems rushed and takes time to explain concerns. Highly recommend.
