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.

HUGE difference from a year or two ago. I stopped coming here because the staff was just so unaccommodating and emotionless. Always seemed annoyed. Today I walked in with three broken glasses hoping to get them repaired in 48 hours. The staff was so nice, like super nice. They fixed two glasses on the spot for free even though I didn't even purchase them there, and then sold me a frame for the other pair which was beyond fixing. They even gave me 40% off the frames. They put the lenses in immediately. Whole thing took about 15 minutes. I was so impressed with the staff. They won me back as a customer. Thank you Visionworks Airport Center Saturday staff =)

First time using Visionworks and I was pleasantly greeted by Antoine who made me feel very welcomed. The lady who took me back to the doctor was really nice too, she even recommended a beach that I could take my kids to over their summer break. Dr. Chen was very friendly and knowledgeable. Last but not least, when I went to try on glasses, I felt overwhelmed and decided that I would just leave and come back another day. However, Emily offered to help pick some out for me. She definitely was knowledge about what glasses would fit me well, she went the extra mile to help me find a pair that I absolutely loved! I would definitely recommend this location.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The only decent person in the place is the doctor. Every single staff member other than the doctor is disgusting they have absolutely horrible attitudes and fight with patients telling them that they are wrong. ( and I know I’m not crazy because I was wondering on our very first visit here why there was a father also getting attitude and told he was wrong after bringing his child back and forth multiple times being told appt. Could not be kept due to inaccurate scheduling! I should have took this as the first red flag!) I’ve worked in the medical field a long time and would never do that to a patient, ever! I understand we are in different times and you would like to have patients be able to schedule their appointments with convenience either over the phone or online but then you should make it very clear that if your child is under a certain age you can only have a certain type of appointment with an in-house doctor versus what they call “telehealth”. Unfortunately, this is what I get for trying a company like this though and that is my fault. Places like this don’t care about the patients or staff they keep and how they treat patients. Trust me when I say it is NOT worth it you & your children are “just another number here”. If you want to get nasty attitudes from the time you walk in until the time you leave and be screamed at that you, the patient are wrong go ahead. But I would recommend waiting the extra week or two to get in at a decent place! TEACH YOUR STAFF HOW TO PROPERLY SCHEDULE AND DEAL WITH PATIENTS! Disgusting!
