Opticians, Optometrists, & Buying Eyewear Articles
Which Eyewear Stores Are the Best?
Our ratings of area eyewear outlets reveal sizeable differences in customer satisfaction. We'll point you toward businesses that provide excellent service and low prices.
Where to Find the Best Prices on Glasses and Contacts
We found that some stores charge far higher prices as their competitors for identical eyeglass frames and lenses. For contacts (with exam and fitting), price differences were even larger. Our ratings show how area outlets stacked up on price.
Is the Market for Eyeglasses Frames Gamed?
You'll find thousands of choices of eyeglasses frames. But in actuality, much of this variety is an illusion: The eyewear market is dominated by the Italian Luxottica Group.
Should You Buy Glasses and Contacts Online?
For eyeglasses, we usually found the least expensive sellers online. But for contacts, online sellers offer higher prices than the lowest-priced local outlets.
Ophthalmologist, Optometrist, and Optician: Which Does What?
Buying glasses or contacts requires the services of an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, or an optician. If you’re like most of us, you can’t remember which of these “three Os” does what, even if you’ve been told a dozen times. So here it is again.
Tips for Selecting Eyeglasses
If you are buying glasses, choosing the type of frame is a major decision. In choosing frames, the main considerations are comfort, positioning, durability, appearance, and price.
Selecting the Right Type of Contact Lenses
Choosing the right type of contact lenses is more complicated than selecting and buying glasses.
