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.

The office staff were so nice and helpful. The technician assisting me was so great and helpful and knowledgeable about each eye test he was administering. Lastly, Dr. Gelb was the best. Super welcoming, informative, helpful and easy to talk to! Overall, I will be coming back to get my new glasses!

Made an appointment at 3:40pm because I’m already aware of how long the wait can be if you don’t make one. Arrived 20min early so that I can ensure all the necessary paperwork is filled ahead of time and so I can have time to pick out the frames of my choice. By 5:00pm I decided to ask the manager what is the hold up and why was a patient who came in 45 minutes after was seen. Her response was the doctor took him in before me because the patient was a follow up. So not only did I wait over an hour to be seen, a patient whose appointment time that was scheduled after mine was seen before me. It is so unprofessional to request patients make an appointment and then not go by the schedule, especially when the doctor is extremely slow when seeing his patients. If it takes someone that long to see a patient then the appointment slots should be made accordingly so that no one has to sit there for over an hour and still not be able to be seen. The manager was really nice and I understand it wasn’t her fault that the doctor decided to take in a patient out of place. I will NEVER go back to this particular Vision Works. I was super upset that I sat there for so long and unable to get the glasses I needed. Appointment times are made for a reason and should be followed accordingly. Not everyone has the time to sit around in waiting room to be seen at the doctor’s discretion.

ZERO STARS. I was left waiting on hold for so long today after calling the Woodbridge office, that their MAIN office picked up the call. The girl on the other line assured me SHE would get through to the Woodbridge store and have me connected immediately, but, she couldn't even get through to them! She then took down my name, phone number, and reason for my call, and promised someone would reach out today. I'm still waiting ... I'll update this review if someone happens to call me back. Unfortunately I need my daughters last exam faxed over to a specialist for an appointment, so I have no choice but to deal with this awful store at the moment. update * - no one ever called me back, as expected. My daughter ended up going there as a walk-in the next morning and she was seen for an emergency by Dr. Gor Shigol. He was able to get her in to see a retina specialist that same day at a different location. The stars are now for the doctor, not for Visionworks.

I'm writing this review as I sit here still waiting for almost 2 hours past my appointment time to be seen by the doctor. I waited over 45 minutes to see the tech, who informed me that there were 3 patients ahead of me. I asked her why there was such a delay in getting in, and she said there were some emergency patients that came in earlier that needed to be seen. The fact that I (or any other patient for that matter) was not informed of--or apologized to--for this delay is very disappointing and unprofessional. The office was quite busy when I arrived, but even the person who checked me in could have mentioned it as she asked me the same questions I had entered on the online admission forms I had completed prior to my visit (she said the forms didn't come through--ugh!). I've been coming here for the past 3-4 years, and this is by far the worst it has ever been.
