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.

Sally Mesta | Rating: 2 | Gene Bennett Optometrists
I have gone to Dr. Bennett office for eye exams since i was 12 years old and they always helped out because I get paid once a month the manager would let me order my contacts and pay when they came iN. Staff was nice enough and understanding that they would give me a pair if needed until my order came in and didn't charge me. New assistant manager isn't so compassionate or nice. She says she looked at my chart and said I do that alot, ok, and, contacts do get paid for! It just isn't the same anymore. Need to find a new eye Dr. Disappointed because Dr. BEnnett and DR. Haddon has been my Dr.'s for ever. :(

So many good things I can say here - Dr. West AND his staff are among the most patient and persistent people anywhere. I had so many issues with my vision, and they all had to be addressed in a very small piece of glass - this made for many visits. Not once during those visits did I ever sense that they were ready for me to be done! I highly recommend this doctor and his staff.
Jessica Hess | Rating: 5 | Vision Source of Tyler
This is by far the BEST experience I have ever had. Dr. Chism is so kind and he truly cares about his patients being satisfied. The nurse and people who check you out are also so helpful and sweet. I don't have insurance so they went out of their way to help me and make sure I got the best deal on glasses as well. I don't normally do reviews (and I feel that most people that do typically had a bad experience) but Vision Source was so awesome I decided to let you guys know so you can have a great experience too!

Great customer service! I have bought many sets of glasses over the years from R&M and no one can match what they do for their customers. Dr. Johnson was amazing w my 11 year old son and made him feel very comfortable. They even replaced his glasses at no cost because he had broken the screw.
Ethan Taylor | Rating: 5 | Gene Bennett Optometrists
The staff was very nice. Very tidy inside. Was a quick wait. The doctor was fast and efficient. The price was great for an eye exam and I just had to walk next door to get my glasses. The parking lot was difficult to manage but that is due to the 89th Starbucks in tyler being built feet from their door.
