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 was an anxious mess after my appointment with the Dr there. He was very abrupt and impatient with me. I was in a cold sweat by the time it was over. His demeanor was very abrasive and his tone was very frustrated. I will NEVER go here again. Do not bring children here either based on his lack of patience with me a 35 year old I cannot imagine what he would be like with a kid. There is also no insurance billing so be ready to pay out of pocket.

Dr Joe Neron was wonderful with my daughter who tends to be anxious. He was even able to talk her through putting in contacts! The staff also helped to find the right lenses for a few pairs of new glasses (they had a special) and adjusted them several times until she was happy. Very happy with our experience!

EDIT: The office's manager Rose reached out to me today to let me know that my glasses were ready and apologized for my experience. I really appreciate a manager who cares enough to speak to you in person. I would go to this store again since Rose made the effort to listen to my problem and tried to make it right. Thank you Rose. Changing from 1 star to 4 Original: I got someone who knew very little about the add on's she was trying to sell me. Also ran my insurance wrong and took about 40 minutes to finally ask a manager for help. Total waste of my time. Its better to admit that your new or maybe are having trouble and let the customer know that instead of making them just sit there while you tell them the wrong information because you don't want to ask for help. I was told my insurance was lapsing March 2020 when it just renewed Jan 2020. Turns out she didn't even run my benefits and had some complete strangers info she was relaying to me. I am not confident that my glasses will even turn out right, most likely will go to Costco next time and take less money from my insurance just to have someone that knows what they're doing.

Dr. Neron was amazing! And so was Barbara and Daniel. Dr Neron helped me into a comfortable pair of contacts and clearer vision! Barbara and Daniel were able to help get my prescription sunglasses fixed after they were dropped and scratched. They saved me lots of money and fixed my favorite pair of sunglasses. They heard my concern and address my problem individually :) Thank you all for all the amazing service!
