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'm always terrible with names but the two woman I worked with who work the front desk are absolute superstars. They work very hard and I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful they were. Especially the blonde woman. I am such a man, not remembering their names, but she was very knowledgeable and kind. The doctor in charge of the place is very professional and courteous about offering products. The 3D eye mapping service they offer is super cool and really makes someone who is paranoid about eye health, like myself, feel much better about the mysteries of my eyeball.

I'm not at all thrilled. When I ordered two pair, a metal and a plastic, the person named Summer (Sommer?) was helpful, knowledgeable and quite pleasant. She was equally pleasant when I picked up the glasses. But... After using the metal pair for a few days, I could not focus at near and mid-vision. (Lined trifocal) I returned to have them checked & the Visionworks person said the center of vision was mistakenly placed too low. She was helpful about getting them replaced. (Can't remember her name. Nice person). Life's Good? Nope... One lens keeps falling out of the plastic pair. When I went to pick up the replacement for the mis-cut lens pair, after being ignored for about 12 minutes, asked the Visionworks person (name unknown) to check the plastic pair. I guess one is not supposed to ask such things in today's society. While appearing quite annoyed, I was rudely told "There's nothing I can do about it." Huh? Nothing? I'm stuck with a falling out lens? Forever? I was handed the glasses back with her fingerprints so smeared on the lenses, that I could not see out of them. Part Two: When I picked up the replacement for the mis-cut lens metal pair, it was: "Here", as I was handed the glasses. End of interaction? So she thought... I was not asked to try them on for fit. I had to get the person's attention and ask to have the ear pieces bent to fit. Again, she simply handed me the pair and walked away. (No other customers were in the showroom waiting for her during my entire "visit" so it was not like she had people clamoring for her attention.) I also wanted to test the vision. The person said "I don't have a reading card" and she walked away. Bam! Case Closed! You're Out! Dismissed! We Don't Care! My Plan: A) Go to another VisionWorks and ask to have the falling out lens pair fixed. B) Never spend any money at Visionworks again. And Here's A Hint: Since Covid-19 cases are increasing, influenza is rampant and respiratory syncytial cases are at record highs in this area, when the customer comes in with a mask on; the employee(s) should don a mask. It is common courtesy- and helps protect the customer and anyone with whom she or he interacts later. Any Good Stuff? Yes, the lenses on both pair now work fine- except for the falling out part. And: I got to explore the grocery store in that strip mall since I had to go there to wash the clerk's fingerprints off the lenses so that I could drive. Live and Learn!
Pam O | Rating: 5 | Claudio Eye Care
Amazing from beginning to end. From even the phone call, I felt supported. Once there, there is a sense of friendliness and family that transcends the entire visit. Dr. Claudio has the type of personality that makes you so comfortable, like you are hanging with your best friend. That is a rare gift! I had multiple people working with me to find the perfect glasses. Awesome experience!

I made my appointment same day on a recommendation from a friend and was very happy with my experience. Was in and out in about an hour. Doctor was great and very informative, and Trish was very helpful when it came time to select my new frames. All in all a very good experience.

Front end was good... medical portion (eye exam) was good... after sales sucked... and who sells $900 glasses... sorry, they are not made of gold... this is too much... I will be going anywhere else that will sell cheap plastic glasses for less money...
