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.

My 2 daughters and I had our first eye appointment here and it was a smooth and pleasant experience for us all! The patience everyone had with all 3 of us while we tried to pick out eye glasses was awesome! Not so easy for a 9 year old and a 16 year old to choose the perfect eye wear for themselves, for the first time ever getting glasses.....ugh....I thank them all for the kindness and patience once again!

Had been telling her for two years that my vision was worsening. All she would do is “tweak” my prescription for my contacts. Never dilated my pupils. I just got new insurance and went elsewhere for a second opinion. Ends up I have cataracts and need surgery. She should have caught this way before now. The one position side of my visits was Colleen. She is a gem!

The store smelled of urine, and mr. clean was very unprofessional. I felt very uncomfortable as the guy that was “taking care of me” was making it very clear he was only there for the paycheck.

Very good and kind office. Doctors are thorough in their examinations and explanations, same with giving you a rundown of what your insurance covers. No pressure to buy glasses through them, they had no issues giving us copies of our prescriptions to buy elsewhere (Zenni, etc). The very tiny parking lot may look worrisome, but there was not issue getting in or out.

I never even got in the door. :-) I called to see if they took Medicaid. The lady who answered asked me what kind. I read off to her things on my Medicaid card but she was uncertain. When I asked her if she could find out for sure and give me a call back, she said uuuhhh and then said we are a small company and I'm certain they can't. I don't know what to say about that. I hope they do well and grow into a solid company that knows for sure what service they provide and benefit plans they work with.
