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.

Staff was very nice. The girl doing eye pressures could have been more pleasant, but the doctors assistant and Dr Ben were very cool. He is good natured, and tells you things in an easy way to understand. Put me at ease! Lots of glasses to choose from!

This was a nice office until I had extra charges added to my account. I always check out and pay the day of my appointments. When I questioned the charges the woman couldn’t tell me what they were for and when she said it may be related to contacts I informed her I had paid about $150 after my contact appointment and don’t understand the extra charges. She wasn’t able to help me because it was “an old employee” who added the charge. I think I may be looking for a new eye doctor!

Phone operator is rude and not willing to help with scheduling for an appointment, I requested a appointment as soon as possible due to loss of contracts and was told I had to wait 2 weeks and when I requested to be notified if there is a cancellation I was told No we do not do that I’d have to call day before to check availability then I requested if I could atleast get a set of lenses to hold me over I again was told No! I said You do realize I can just go to 1800 contacts take an eye examination on line and order contacts on the spot her response was, o.k. I then canceled not only my up coming appointment but also me as being a patient, it’s a shame because Dr Klibanoff is very good but if he employs employees like this to represent his practice I’d have to question his judgment
Janet Petrini | Rating: 5 | Kaplan, Jonathan D OD - Family Eye Care Service
My last eye doctor was an absolute nightmare.. I found family eye care through Google and they immediately made me an emergency eye appointment with Dr. Kaplan. I am and have been suffering for months with severe chronic eye dry to the point of not being able to work..Dr. Kaplan and his support staff are superb. He examined my eyes and I told him every medication I have tried through another eye doctor who just kept putting me on the same OTC type meds that did nothing. Dr. Kaplan prescribed me Restasis and my insurance wanted a pre-auth which was done the same day and was approved within 24 hours.. Dr. Kaplan did say that it will take 4 weeks or so to feel a difference which is understandable. He also explained if for some reason this med doesn't work for me. I am to call the office and we will take it from there. Everyone there was so very polite, professional and thorough and I thank you all so much. They do everything there so for all your eye needs, please call them. They will go above and beyond and NOT leave you hanging or ignore your needs...THANK YOU!

What a great place for exceptional care. I have been seeing Dr. Benjamin Klibanoff for several years now. He is very aware of different eye conditions, including those that impact children. They do such a thorough job of evaluating, including pressure, pupil, and vision ability checks. My eyes are my most sacred sense and am very happy to know they are well cared for. The girls at the front are kind professionals that take good care of each person as an individual. Their eye glass choices are super nice. You are tended to with 1:1 help, and there is zero pressure to buy. So very helpful and each tried on pair is cleaned and sanitized for the next patient. There is no other Dr I want to see and am Very happy to have Dr. Benjamin Klibanoff! Tell him, #RockFromRI sent you for an extra smile!
