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.

I’ve visited Union Optical a few times, and through the times I’ve come both by walk ins and by appointments I was treated with great care. Their staff as well as their Optical Doctor were very well mannered and did everything they possibly could in order to assist me. Not only did I like their service, But I also liked their great variety in choice of frames. I’d recommend and would definitely go back for further check ups.

Disappointing experience for a local. Granted it was busy but this is supposed to be a high end optical retailer not a chain shop in a Walmart. I asked about a luxury brand I have purchased before but the frame broke. On their website it lists they are a retailer for the brand. I am immediately told they no longer carry it. They do. I knew the exact style I wanted and had my prescription from an eye exam on hand. All that had to happen was to tell me what I needed to do next (besides ‘well I can’t tell you unless I call them Monday.’) Overall, I felt so rushed I left my broken glasses on the counter. The associate didn’t even notice. I got about a half block away and realized. Went back, got them and the associate literally took a glance and shrugged. My fault for forgetting but the service was not what I expected. In the end, went to another luxury retailer who showed me a pair of beautiful Salt brand glasses that are handmade in Japan. They did not have it in stock but took all the information to order them on Monday. The other retailer fitted me for the Salt brand and in 25 mins had my sale of over $1K upfront for frames and prescription lenses.

Dr. Sarantakos and the rest of the staff were fantastic! Dr. Sarantakos answered all of my questions and gave me the best Exam experience ever! They also have a cool camera that takes an image of your eyes for 39 bucks. Definitely worth it! They have a beautiful selections of frames and sunglasses! Can’t wait for my Chanel to be ready in a few days!
