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.

Dr. Mortensen is so extremely kind and truly cares about his patients. If you want someone with ample experience and a sense of humor (but still very professional), then this is the place to go! I'd recommend him to anyone.

I had a great experience here. The eye Dr was friendly and funny. The front desk staff were friendly, smiling, and helpful. I saw a bad review saying “all the glasses are locked up in cases and no one would come help me.” But not 1 single pair of glasses is locked up in a case so that person must be thinking of somewhere else and left a review for the wrong company. Anyway, very satisfied. Thanks Eyeglass World crew!

I went here when I was pregnant with my second because my eyesight changed. (It has since changed back.) I went in and explained what I was experiencing (blurriness when using computer screens and some other symptoms that I thought might be specific to pregnancy) and he didn't listen to my concerns at all and prescribed me glasses for driving at night. (I've never had eye issues before so had no idea what the prescription meant until I went to go get frames and the lady seem confused when I explained why I'd come in.) Not only did he not listen to me or answer my questions, he also spent the ENTIRE session trying to convince me to go to a plastic surgeon friend of his to get a small mole under my eyebrow removed. When he first suggested it, I was confused and thought that maybe it was impacting my vision somehow. But then he clarified that it wasn't, but kept showing me close up pictures of my mole and talking up his plastic surgeon friend from med school. It was VERY weird and I felt very targeted. (Female in mid-twenties for plastic surgery.) He wouldn't let up and legitimately brought it up 5 different times and ended the visit telling me how much I'd like his friend. I cried on my way home because I felt so patronized and didn't get the help I was looking for. I'd also never cared about the mole in my life until he started zooming in on it on his computer screen. Just a gross experience all around and so disrespectful.

I've been a patient of Dr. Finley for over 7 years and he has kept a close eye on my changing sight. This year was great. We did not have to do the ocular test because my eyes have been doing really well. I recommend him to everyone because he is very thorough and tracks every little thing.

Saw Dr. McKell for exam and purchased pair of glasses from Costco. Started having headaches and dizziness after wearing glasses for extended periods when doing detailed work around the house or when reading. Thought it was because of a period of adjustment needed with new prescription but didn't resolve over time. After reading other reviews it appears I am another case of Dr. McKell over prescribing. Will go elsewhere for new glasses. Don't trust.
