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.

Worst experience ever with an optometrist. I have contacts/glasses in the -8 range (actually -7.5 but my Dr Potts had me in up to -8.5 due to my eyes being so inflamed from the products he recommends) so it's not ideal to wear glasses (distorted around edges/no peripheral vision due to such bad vision) much of the day - only in emergencies. His wife is the office personnel and she goes on and on about how many awards Dr Potts has, etc. On my last visit, he actually yelled at me about wearing my contacts "too much" (I never slept in them, we're just talking about normal daily use), because my eyes were so inflamed and I routinely had eye issues that he was unable to help me with after several visits and using his products. After having him yell at me about contacts usage (enough to cause tears but I was quite pregnant so perhaps extra sensitive - though that didn't stop him from being completely and utterly rude) and telling me to stop using contacts (using the only brand he recommends, which I can't remember the name because this was years ago), I decided to go to real ophthalmologists - started with Kresge Eye Institute. She took a look at my eyes and brand of contacts and immediately said they were some of the worst choices - they do not let hardly any oxygen in to the eye and my eyes had been starving of oxygen which was causing serious problems. Tons of tiny blood vessels were growing across my field of vision due to the lack of oxygen, the eye was trying to find other ways to get air. This would eventually lead to blindness. Thankfully, this expert Dr gave me recommendations for proper contacts and many years later I refuse to go to trust any Optometrist to care for my eyes - only professionals /experts, ophthalmologists. Dr Potts also was a bad experience for my husband as well. I currently use Biofinity contacts which lets a ton of air through compared to the ones Dr Potts insists on. Thankfully my eyes are in good health, and on top of that, it took a few months but they recovered from the damage Dr Potts caused and my eyesight is down to -7.5 in both eyes. Do not go here - I would have eventually gone blind under Dr Potts supervision. The office is horribly run down and depressing as well, a good sign to run the other direction. Not professional service and not an expert in his field as much as they love to tell you otherwise. I 100% regret picking his name from my insurance Dr list.

Loved my experience with LensCrafters. The Optometrist was very pleasant and answered all my questions. Suzanne was more than helpful from picking out the frame down to the payment process. I would come there again.

Dr is excellent! We travel back from Farmington Hills because she is professional, kind, knowledgeable and instructive. Best we have experienced. And, current staff is professional and helpful as well. We wouldn't make the drive if we didn't have strong, positive experience here.
Nameer | Rating: 1 | JCPenney Optical
I used to go to the JCPenny Optical location in novi but it closed. I was transferred over to this location. I just needed a refill on my contacts prescription but the woman who answered the phone refused and said the doctor at Troy isn’t the same from Novi and can’t allow an extension. How is this my fault? Now I have to go get an eye exam because ny JCPenny location closed, costing me $60 + Unprofessional. This will close too and you will be on the look for a new optical center.

Dr. Caldwell and Maryan were fantastic. They were super friendly and welcoming. My visit was a breeze. I was in and out in a timely manner and my new glasses were ready within minutes. I will definitely come back to the Somerset location.
