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.

BEWARE. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Their phone doesn’t work. They know this and have openly admitted to not caring about this. They refuse to give any order status. Even if you make an appointment, you will be waiting at least an hour in the waiting area. This place is a joke. I’ll be calling corporate to let them know about this scammy place working under their name, and I urge everyone else to do so, as well.

The new district manager is delightful to work with, as a customer. I've been dealing with Visionworks since my insurance changed and it was wonderful a year ago, but I needed to replace my new glasses and dealt with her, and I don't know how to spell her name, unfortunately, but I know she's from Brooklyn and so funny. I definitely would stay with this company.

A week ago I found Dr. Gioia's information and decided to make an appointment in the near future. When I awoke this morning with an uncomfortable red eye, I made a call to Integrative Vision praying they would be able to see me early next week - never dreaming they'd find a way to see me today - but they did. The front desk staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. And Dr. Gioia is perfection. She explained everything she was doing and took time to make sure she understood my complete eye history and medical history. I have found my new Optometrist and could not be more pleased.

I went to Visionworks to get an updated script for my contact lenses. Upon arriving you immediately realize that the staff is frazzled and they explain that they are short staffed. They have been saying this for some time now because they vocalized the same issue to me about a year and a half prior to me being there (during my last visit). That said, after a long wait I got my eye exam done but I was told that I can’t get my contact script because they don’t have the lenses I use in stock. They explained that the lenses would need to be ordered and I would get a phone call within two weeks when they come in. The issue with that is that they never answer their phones. They openly admit to having the volume off on their phones and not taking calls due to being short staffed. The only way to communicate with them is to actually show up. After a month, my lenses never came in they weren’t able to give me an estimated date. So I basically went there three times and got nothing. Lesson learned, I won’t be returning.

I love Dr. Gioia! She’s an incredible, integrative and functional eye doctor. She is so proactive, thorough, spends time with you, and is so knowledgeable about natural medicine that works. I love her office as it feels like a beautiful, Zen wellness center. You must go. They are all awesome
