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.

Walked in and was immediately greeting by staff. Deja helped me out today and honestly I wish I would’ve known about this place years ago! She was the absolute best and customer service was PERFECTION!

The best customer service and team around Houston, especially for children. I had my daughter 6 years old go there and they were loving, graceful and understanding. My daughter's first two experiences at other optometrist were not pleasant. Pearle Vision Bunker Hill was absolutely incredible, everything you would want for your child. The entire process was above average. My daughter left feeling proud and happy. I highly recommend.

Dr Pham was still goody caring, and professional, but Service has dropped completely. I first noticed staff service level dropped after I told them I am not purchasing contacts and glasses. What really got me to post here was I have to try couple of prescriptions for the right fitting. When I finally confirmed with them on the right prescription over the phone, the lady said it will be on the portal and didn’t want to email me the prescription. Two weeks later i saw the prescription is still wrong on the portal. Luckily, I know what my prescription is and contacted them they haven’t updated yet. They finally called back to confirm the prescription one more time and said they made a mistake, but NO APOLOGY. I could have gotten a wrong prescription for contacts! I have been here for years and purchased glasses and contacts many times. I decided to hold off on glasses/contacts and use my flexible spending account for a medical procedure this year. Sadly, if this is the reason to lower service or because of new owner, I will need to look for a new eye doctor. ***** post from 4 years ago Dr at Perfect Vision are very thorough in there examination. I had Dr Mark and Dr Lo. Both are extremely careful in their exam and provided clear communication/advice. And everyone at the front desk is friendly/helpful.

Dr Barnes was great, my fiancé and I received our annual eye exam, and she found a pair of glasses! I am handicap and Dr Barnes staff was very welcoming, and friendly. Dr Barnes is a great Doctor that will thoroughly go through your diagnostics, as well as any questions you have. We will be back next year!

Staff was friendly and courteous and very helpful in getting my family 2 pair each using my insurance. Highly recommend them and the OUTSTANDING Doctor's office next door to them (Dr. Nguyen). She was thorough and took the time to explain everything!
