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.

Hands down the worst place to consider purchasing glasses. Limited selection compared to other brick and mortar chains and locally-owned shops. All told the cost for a pair would have been $500+ and receive them in the mail in 7 to 10 days. I'll go to a locally owned shop and reinvest my monies in the community instead. If I could have zero stars I would.

When I scheduled my appointment the woman helping me seemed like she had absolutely no idea how to simply book an appointment and I was put on hold 3 times before it was finally booked. Then when I arrived to the appointment there was no record of me having one scheduled so they had to "squeeze" me in. On top of that I sat at the counter waiting to be helped for 10 minutes and I had to flag somebody down to help me... Nothing but a hassle, but I should have expected it as this is easily the worst wal mart in Minnesota...

I have been coming here since I was 12, every time I have called to make an appt with Dr.Hadden, he is usually at another location and no one is helpful about where I could go to schedule at a different location. If you have insurance nothing is no longer kept on file so they make you enter everything over again and the last three times I've called the person had selective hearing and after repeating myself 4 times I was beyond irritated, so I'm choosing a new optometrist. Dr.Hayden is amazing but the service has gone down drastically.
Jen Yerhot | Rating: 5 | Stephen P. Tonner, OD
My family moved here 3 years ago and I needed my eyes examined. I lucked out and went to Lyndale Optical and met Stephan Tonner, OD. He is amazing. He is professional and excellent at his profession. Made me feel comfortable and educated about what he was doing. This is a great place to go! The receptionist was wonderful too. I'm going back tomorrow for a second exam 3 years later! You won't find a better place to go. Wide selection of frames and I am a contact wearer so even though my eyes have some issues, I can still wear them. All in all, this business gets my thumbs up.

Dan was EXTREME;Y helpful. He initially helped me schedule my eye exam. Then I return to inquire pricing for my glasses because the day of my exam i was given a price for glasses but wasn’t asked for opinion or if what was being selected was ok but Dan helped me out. And luckily that I didn’t order anything on the day of my exam because i was looking at getting sunglasses and the sunglasses i had selected were not a good match for my prescription and when I returned Dan helped with that and confirmed with another colleague. Dan was very patient and answered to my questions without gestation. Thanks Dan for your great customer service and finger cross the 50% off frames and lenses last a little bit longer so I can return to order my sunglasses.
