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.

I love the doctor! HOWEVER the staff member named “Kim” was soooo rude! I have gone there more times then I can count but every time she helps me she rude and doesn’t want to help. I needed a replacement pair of frames for my daughters glasses and she kept arguing with me telling me my daughter wasn’t in the system. Finally she decided to look for the frames but hmmm she couldn’t find them? Ok, well there was another man standing behind me and she said “we are busy helping other people take a seat and we will get to you whenever we can” but she said it in a rude voice. The man looked shocked. I told her nvm I’ll come back later. I’m so mad! That was the worst customer service. The only reason I go there is for the doctor because he is amazing and Lori.

I only called and spoke to a receptionist on the phone. I am protective of my kids and made sure to ask tons of questions. The person (I should have gotten a name) was so patient and worked with me to find the perfect appointment and time for my girls. She also discussed the Drs background, schooling, and experience in order to help me make an informed decision. I was also swayed to bring my girls here due to the community business. This center is not a chain and therefore could offer us better, more careful service. If this receptionist is any indication, I will be very pleased. I will post my review after our visit.

Because of the wonderful help I received from Chris, the manager, I have come back to Viaionworks with questions and concerns. Chris is always willing to take the time to help me and explain my options to me. He is both knowledgeable and kind! I am so grateful!

Chris was very professional and knowledgeable. He helped me pick out a couple of frames that fit my face and eyes appropriately. Their facility is clean and they carry a huge variety of frames. I just moved to Utah and fortunately found a this great provider for all of my vision needs.

5 starts for the doctor, not for Walmart. The eye doctor is amazing; we've been coming to him for years. But I suggest ordering your contacts elsewhere since Walmart gave me the wrong prescription when I ordered through them and the customer service was so bad that I never did get the incorrect prescription replaced. But the doctor is awesome. :)
