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.

This was my first time at this place and it started out horrible. First of all, I made the appointment 4-5 weeks ago and at the time of scheduling I asked if my little brother can be seen with both Medicaid and Blue Cross Blue Shield. She put me on hold and came back saying yes that’s fine. So we show up to the appointment today and they said they won’t take the insurance unless Medicaid is primary. They called the insurance and was told Medicaid is secondary so I’d have to pay out of pocket. It was a good price but thats not the issue. If they would have just told me on the phone 5 weeks ago to make sure Medicaid is primary so it would be covered then I could have made an appointment somewhere else that would cover everything. That was just my experience with the front desk employees. The lady that did the eye exam was amazing and very helpful.

Friendly employees and Optometrist. I have been going here to get my eyes checked and get my contacts for the last decade. Great selection of frames, contacts, and sunglasses. There has been times when I needed a pair of contacts temporarily while my order was being placed and they were happy to help. Definitely recommend.

The office staff, assistants and Dr Jed were great. Very professional and personable. No wait. Made sure that I had no questions before I left. I told them I thought I was going to get my glasses from Zenni and he explained that their glasses were better quality, but for my prescription Zenni was probably just fine. They weren't pushy about making me buy their glasses. I'm going to recommend them to my husband and I think I'll start taking my 4-year-old here as well.

The eyedoctor is the best one I've seen period. I have dry eyes which I thought were just allergies this whole time. No other eyedoctor has given me eyedrops before. And she was very quick too. I will definitely be back. Very impressed with her.

I went in to get some help with a box of contacts I had purchased 2 weeks earlier because the contacts were defective and a large piece of the contact lens had broken off into my eye, so when I told this to the employee and asked for a replacement box she told me she couldn’t help me because the contacts had been opened and they couldn’t resell them now. I asked “so even though you sold me a defective product that could have damaged my vision you can do nothing about it?” She just shrugged her shoulders, said sorry and walked off. I could not believe how rude she was! I just wanted some help with a defective product that was sold to me, that could potentially cause injury to my eyes. I would hope that this Walmart vision center will take a look into their employee’s customer care, especially when it comes to the health and care of the customer’s eyes. Isn’t that their job?! Please take the time to drive to ANY OTHER vision care facility, it’s not worth your time or money to go here! Unfortunately I didn’t get the name of the employee who helped me, but she was working May 9th around 12:00 pm probably around 5’2 in height with black hair.
