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.

Adam Welmerink | Rating: 5 | Family Eyecare Associates
My family has been going to Family Eyecare Associates since I was 2 years old. For the past 33 years they have taken great care of me and my family. We have seen all of the doctors in the practice and have had amazing experiences with all of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, quality care.
Larena Fry | Rating: 5 | Costco Vision Center
We have been coming to Costco for frames and lenses for several years now. It was nice several years ago when we were in Disneyland and my daughter lost a contact. We contacted the Costco in Anaheim and they were able to access her prescription and we were able to purchase a set. What a nice benefit. I like the fact that I can receive my order at my mailbox. Believe it or not but Costco has eye glass frames, sunglasses and contacts! They also have deals and specials on them. Costco exclusively offers a variety of contact lens online for members only. They can even ship them to your home. Offering the latest in technology and high definition lenses. There is a large array of frames and sunglasses with brand name designer frames. They offer HD progressive lenses, polarized lenses, transitions photochromic lenses, blue anti reflective treatment, and anti reflective treatment. They can send your new lenses to Costco for you to pick up or directly to your home. They accept most insurances. How awesome is that! All of their opticians are trained and their certification is posted on the wall for all to see. We recently received the two pair of glasses that we ordered and they needed to be adjusted. We live closer to the Costco in Sparks but we prefer the Optometrist in Reno. So that's why we ordered from Reno, Costco but went to Sparks, Costco to have them adjusted. Jordan was the Optician who helped us. He was very warm, friendly and kind. He adjusted them and we were on our way in a few minuets. Thanks Jordan!
R Wilcox | Rating: 2 | Paul A. Speakman, O.D.
As long-time patients of Dr. Speakman, we are very disappointed that he chose to sell his practice to Pritchett Eye Care. The front office staff is incredibly rude, misinformed with billing practices and downright obnoxious. We will not be returning to anyone within this company and strongly advise others to be aware of their rights with this company otherwise you will be paying more for services not to mention raising your blood pressure with the immature young girls who work there.
Lewis Overfield | Rating: 1 | 20/20 Vision
Don't even want to give a one and after the reviews that I've seen won't even comment on any of it After 2 years you finally replied and yes my wife and I were patients of your office and all it takes is one time and that was the last time. I should have called my insurance and told them about your bad service that you provided so you have a good day and GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

Great experience. The staff was very professional and timely. I have a very difficult prescription and they were able to find solutions. The staff help me find frames that worked efficiently.
