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.

There is no method to determine who is next. I was told to sit down, then was ignored while staff waited on others who came in after. The next time I came in, I talked with the customers to organize ourselves into a line. Some of the staff seem annoyed at having anyone there at all. Others are patient, kind and helpful. A staff member taught my son how to use contacts. She washed her hands, then answered the phone, opened files...back to the contacts -never washing hands again. I had to pay her to teach my son. Only to go home and reteach him clean tecnique. On the upside, the doctor was great. Our glasses were very reasonable in cost. The staff member did an excellent fitting. I came in later for repairs which were done at no cost. Avoid picking glasses during busy times.

Saying I liked these guys would be an understatement. I'll drive out of my way to work with this team. Jim and Donna take great pride in making sure the customer experience is second to none. I won't go anywhere else... whether I have insurance coverage or not and regardless of how far I have to drive. My vision is very important to me and it's important to them too.

Love their selection! It's organized really nicely so you don't feel overwhelmed! Good lighting & beautiful space! The guys who work there are so kind + helpful. They repaired my 5 years olds glasses to brand new. Highly recommend!

My reason for going was I lost my glasses. I only use my glasses for driving at night. The eye exam was good and the price was great. When I went to pick out frames, I was shocked at the price. With the economy being so rough now due to covid, I would think that the price would be within my budget, since I only use my glasses for driving. The frames were $200.00 and the lenses were $532.00. With my military benefits my final cost was $440.00. I will never recommend anyone to go to LensCrafters. I am 67 and I am sure that this is probably my last pair that I will be purchasing. I will say, the staff at this location were great and very friendly.

Every time I call I'm told to call back in an hour. Then when I call back in an hour the woman who usually answers the phone puts me on hold. I've been hung up on (I'm certain that was more user error than anything else) or I've had to repeat myself several times to different people only to be told to hold again. Ordering contacts is this huge process that I'm beginning to think is not worth the savings.
