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 husband and I have always had wonderful service from the entire staff for many years! Dr. Gerig is very knowledgeable, gentle, and takes his time with you. We travel from Newberg to see him.

I've been getting my lenses/frames here for the past several years. Today April helped me and she has been by far the best. She's not pushy, very helpful, very pleasant demeanor and just and provides an all-around GREAT experience. I will continue to come back and will make sure I work with April every time.

Excellent service and communication. The team was great to deal with. Everything was explained and I was left with no questions. Glasses were expected 1-2 weeks and arrived 3 days later. Absolutely fantastic service. I will be returning annually.
Kimberlee Scotese | Rating: 5 | Ogata EyeCare, P.C.
From the moment I first called and spoke with their receptionist to actually being greeted in store, my experience was fabulous! Jill took care of the initial screenings -- thoroughly explaining the procedures and some of what they were for. Once with Dr. Ogata, he answered all of my questions and concerns, taking time to review the pictures taken of my eyes. And then to look for glasses ... the staff was so helpful in choosing frames to enhance my facial features. I will gladly go back again next year for an eye exam!

Not a well run location... just a bunch of kids with a friendly manager that has 0 follow up. I have been buying and using corrective glasses for about 20 years. It’s time for a new prescription and pair of glasses so I tried this location. I started with The eye exam( performed by a different company but is located within the Visionworks store) and it was great.. But then I went into the glasses store and dealt with Francine. I purchased 2 pair of new glasses, 1 were sunglasses and the other regular glasses and I I purchased a set of new lenses for my old frames. I was told it would be 7-10 days. After 7 days I called and was told that the sunglasses were ready and the other 2 glasses were in the “ready to ship” status from the place that does the lenses. After another 4 days I called and was told that the glasses were done but still in the ready to ship status. I asked them to call the lens place and figure out what was going on and call me back. They never did. I then called after 14 days and spoke with Francine again who told me the other 2 people who had said the glasses were in ready to ship were reading the wrong screen ..because the computer system was having problems.. and the glasses were actually still being tinted. I explained that it was over the time period to which she replied well they can take up to 3 weeks and that she would check on them and get back to me. She never did. I waited a few more days And then called and spoke with the Manager Carrigan and explained the situation and that I had waited long enough. I asked her to have the glasses sent back by that upcoming weekend regardless of if they were done or not. She said she understood and would do so. The weekend came and I called before heading over to confirm they were there. I spoke with Carrigan again.. she said they were still in the “tinting process”! I asked her why she had t had them sent back like she said she would and you could hear the wind blowing around upstairs.. I finally just said please have them sent back now and refund me. It then took another 3 days for that to happen. So after a month of waiting nothing was done to the other 2 glasses. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.
