CONFUSED ABOUT EYEGLASS PRICING?

Let us help you learn to evaluate the differences in lens and frame products. ...

EYEGLASSES FUNCTION vs. FASHION Eyeglasses-I can’t think of anything else that is considered both a medical device and a fashion accessory. As such, eyeglasses are a unique necessity because there is nothing as critical to our performance at work, daily tasks, and recreational activities as our vision; and nothing more important to successful relationships as eye contact and first impressions. So, we require excellence in vision performance from our lens products, and top styling from our frame products. Both of these requirements seem equally important to most people.

ARE THERE DIFFERENCES IN LENSES AND FRAMES?
There are dozens of lens manufacturers. Who makes the best lens? Our licensed opticians evaluate all lenses to determine their reproducibility, durability, clarity, and prescription availability. Lens products are only offered to our patients if they meet our exacting standards for visual performance. This means we’ve taken the guesswork out of lens selection. By insisting on only the best in lens quality, we are able to offer a two-year lens warranty at no cost to you.

The number of frame manufacturers is increasing every year to meet the needs of demanding image conscious consumers. As a result top designers have now entered the optical world. Since a designer’s success is linked to their reputation for quality in workmanship and style, many are associated with excellent frame products. COACH PRADA NINE WEST GUCCI NIKE VALENTINO

CAN TECHNOLOGY AFFECT FRAME QUALITY?
Advances in technology are responsible for new frame materials such as lightweight titanium and FLEXON. These materials make glasses lighter, more comfortable to wear and less likely to discolor or corrode. Multi layer color application results in high luster frame color that resists peeling, for long lasting good looks. We demand high tech frame products from our vendors so that we can provide a one-year frame warranty at no additional cost to you.

 

FEATURES and BENEFITS vs. COST You alone can determine whether a certain visual benefit or high-tech feature is of value to you. But understand when you shop, it is important to compare exactly the same products. We will always put features, benefits and performance first, because you deserve the best the industry has to offer.

VISION CARE PROGRAMS
We participate with many different vision care and discount programs. Just let us know at the time you order about your program and we will be happy to help you with filing or providing the information your vision plan requires.

HOW LONG SHOULD EYEWEAR LAST? Surveys show the average person will keep a pair of glasses approximately two and a half years. Our warranty covers frames and lenses, under normal wear and tear, for one year and antireflective coating for two years.

WHAT IS MY TOTAL INVESTMENT?
If you invest between $300 to $600 on your eyewear that means you are spending between 33 and 66 cents per day for good vision and contemporary styling. How does that compare with your daily budget for shoes to be used over the same two and a half years?

BUDGET CONCERNS?
There are times when each of us must make decisions based on price rather than features and benefits. For those times we offer our Value Package Program. This package includes basic lenses and frames, and comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturers defects.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE VALUE?

You can drive a GEO or a Cadillac.
-Does one provide a higher level of safety in an accident?
-Does one have a more comfortable ride?

You can buy furniture at Value City or Ethan Allen.
-Does one provide longer lasting fabrics?
-Is there a difference in workmanship?

You can buy jewelry from Wal-Mart or a jeweler.
-Does jewelry from one tend to discolor your skin?
-Is one more likely to become a family heirloom?

You can purchase golf clubs at K-Mart or have them custom made by Callaway.
-Does one enhance your ability to consistently and accurately swing the club?
-Will you lower your score with one or the other?

Clearly there are differences in everything we buy. Eyeglasses are no exception.

At the conclusion of your appointment we will recommend frames, lenses and lens treatments that will provide the highest level of visual performance. Feel free to ask us questions about any of the recommendations we have made, and then you decide how you want to define value in eyewear!
