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.

Dr Dao is the best, 100% recommend! He actually talks to you about your eyes, the meaning of why he's doing certain things.. any question I asked he gave me an in depth answer. Wonderful man! Update: 10/22 ... having a lot of issues with the front office for months but just have let things slide. One time I came for my contacts 15 min before closing and they were all leaving together so I just left and came back the next day no problem but still, leaving early in an office setting like this is unprofessional.. Another time abd lately the hold times on the phone have exceeded 20 min. And they won't have any answers or they'll have half your order. They never call me when my contacts are in and that's why I always have to call and be put on hold for 20 min. This last time, which was last week, I had come to pick up my ONE MONTH box of contacts. I told them I wanted to reorder what I ordered last time which was ONE MONTH. They ordered 3 months and I paid $150 instead of the $70 I was expecting.. if I didnt, I would have waited another 2 weeks before my contacts would have come in. And that was it I just had to buy them or wait because of their mistake. I've never once bought 3 months of contacts in the 5+ years I've been going here. Dr Dao is still amazing but the front staff needs to do better.

Dr Forman charged 100.00 when the ins. company covers the entire bill! He claimed that he didn't see an insurance card, when on the paperwork that was filled out, it had both, the insurance company's name and the membership number. If he needed to see the card, he should have asked for it from her. This happened to my 15 year grand-daugher while I was in the optical center purchasing a pair of glasses for myself. She paid the 100.00 not understanding his procedure's. I had to go back to him insisting for the cash back. He was reluctant, until I was loud and persistent, then he pulled the cash out of his front pocket! And gave it back. He's going to submit her visit to the insurance company, AND take her cash! That's totally double dipping! I found him very rude and unprofessional. Do not trust him. On the other hand, the associates that sell the glasses, are very professional, friendly and helpful.

Dr Dao is so good that even though we live in California, we schedule our annual appointments to coincide with it our trips to the east coast, just so we can continue seeing him. Also, Rick is fantastic!

Went to see Dr Forman as a new patient, my wife and I both had an eye exam and he was charging us $100 / each for 6 months contacts prescription. Called my insurance company and they said everything should have been covered without any out of pocket expense. The only thing I would have to pay for is $10 co pay. Luckily, I didn’t purchase contacts today or else I would have been out $200 when it was not necessary. Even tried calling him and explaining to him what my insurance had said and he denied it saying otherwise. Would never go back to this establishment. Dishonest and untrustworthy.
