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.

Tammy Krause Cruz | Rating: 5 | Dr. Troy Randgaard & Dr. Bryan Parrott - Highland
There was actually a sub in for the doctors that day. He was wonderful. However, no one told me that ahead of time - and if I was attached to a certain eye doctor (I'm not - they all seem to be great - but I haven't ever formed a patient relationship with my eye doctor like I have for my MD and DDS), I might have been disappointed. Everyone was attentive and nice. :)
Bob Thacker | Rating: 5 | Highland Family Eye Care
I've been coming to Highland Family Eyecare since Dr. Snyder first opened his doors. He and his staff are consummate professionals. I always know that I'm getting the best eyecare and no matter what frames I choose, I always get compliments on them which is a nice ego booster as well.
Caileen Yost | Rating: 5 | Specs Appeal
I went to see Ted at Specs Appeal after getting new glasses at some other place. Ted quickly identified the flaw in the lenses and advised me on my best options for resolving the issue - all for free! I recommend him for great service!
Clay Harris | Rating: 5 | Spectacle Shoppe, Inc
This place is fantastic. We were so well taken care of here. They have cookies and coffee while you shop and wait. The staff are excellent at what they do. They took great care with both my daughter and I since we both needed glasses. They will help you find the perfect pair of glasses. Joe is one of the best salesmen I've ever met. He knows his stuff and he truly cares for you. I've felt know and important each time he's helped me. I can't recommend this place highly enough! Also they sent us home with roses for my daughter's and my wife
