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.

Every staff member was extremely professional and friendly. Customer service was absolutely exceptional. Kathryn called to advise me that my child’s glasses should’ve had polycarbonate lenses being that she in under 13. She and her manager too it upon themselves to order the lenses for me. She’s the best!

Still waiting on the correct set of contacts. I’ve been waiting for months. Went for a eye exam on Aug 30th 2022 Got contacts ordered I then picked them up about a week or so later but the demo pair was different from the ones I received. I came into the office again and the receptionist told me she was going to re order them ( didn’t hesitate to tell me she was in a hurry because they were closing) & those contacts, They never came. Here it is NOVEMBER and I still don’t have contacts. The Dr. was nice & seemed to know what he was talking about but I’m honestly not sure who’s at fault here. The Dr. or the LOUD and GHETTO staff. Insurance benefits and money WASTED

I went into the store to get glasses frames replaced. The glue that hold the glasses came apart and cause the frames to separate from the lenses. I brought the glasses approximately one month ago. I was told there was nothing the store could do about the frames. Feel that there maybe a defect in the frames. I was told by the manager that the store could not replace the frames. I had no choice to repurchase the frames. I felt that the manufacturer warranty should apply to my situation. I am very disappointed ☹️ n the customer service I received from Ashlee and the store manager.
