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.

Terrible. Any doctor can come and do the whole better now how about now routine. This company treated me like just another number. I have insurance and called ahead and they said I would be completely covered for my contact and glasses exam, ask again when I get there, and asked if I owed before I left after the exam. Nope all good, take care. Then they call two hours later saying I needed to pay a contact fitting fee, said everyone charges for this that insurance won't cover it. I told her I have never been charged this before and called around and everyone I called doesn't charge for it either. I told her this and she basically called me a liar and said they would not release my prescription till the bill was paid. Well I paid it and I hope they use it wisely because they will not get another dime of my money or my business. They are unprofessional and care more about the bottom dollar and being crooked than about the individual. I will forever take my business else where and would suggest that you do the same.

If I could give Dr. McBryar and her staff 10 stars I would. She has been the most patient, caring, and understanding doctor. She vowed to help me no matter what. I can’t say enough good things about her. All other team members are fantastic as well. Highly recommend Amplify Eye Care.

Dr. Quackenbush is such a wonderful eye doctor! 5 stars isn't good enough. I have been coming to him for about 5 yrs. Such an easy process. No wait times. Gets my prescription just everything. I also, have now added my daughter Madison to his patient list. Madison has CP and vision problems. He got her prescription perfect as well. I am thankful it's a small office with the best eye doctor! Check him out!
