Manhattan Optometrists Buzzing Over New Eyeglasses Guide

The release of a new How To guide from eyeglasses.com has many optometrists pleased and excited. Yet, they also stress the importance of meeting with trained professionals face to face in order to find the eyeglasses that are best suited for you.

New York, NY (prHWY.com) June 28, 2012 - Recently, the popular eyewear website eyeglasses.com released a mini-book titled "How to Buy Eyeglasses: A Consumer Buying Guide for Eyewear." Local Manhattan optometrist finds this news both great and sad. The release of the publication in great in that it is an invaluable resource for those that are having a hard time deciding which eyewear is right for them. On the other hand, it's disappointing to know that the general public would need such a book.

According to James Hilford, the President of Eyeglasses.com: "It is amazing how little information is available to consumers about eyeglasses and prescription lenses. Consumers can access product information on virtually every consumer appliance...but not when it comes to eyewear." He goes on to state they created the publication out of demand from people that could not find the right sort of information anywhere else.

The truth of the matter is that a visit to your local Manhattan eye center will lead you straight to the information you need. Not only that, but your choice will be guided by an expert optometrist. While no one will be foolish enough to say that a trip to the optometrist is an convenient as just hopping online and searching around, it's important for patients to understand the value in having professional guidance in selecting the right pair of eyeglasses.

When compared to this new guide that Eyewear.com has published, a visit to your optometrist can offer the same benefits and more. The guide allows readers to learn about the features and benefits of different eyewear, as does your Manhattan optometrist; the only difference is that with your optometrist, you have a face-to-face encounter with someone that is trained and knows what sort of lenses are best for you. Also, searching for eyewear Manhattan is also made easier in that there is typically someone on staff that knows which frames will look best on your face. And if they don't have those glasses on hand, they'll order them for you--something you'd have to do anyway if you ordered online at the guidance of the new guide.

Of course, optometrists aren't going to take this guide for granted. Any available resource to educate the public on how to properly select a pair of eyeglasses is a benefit not only to their profession, but to their patients as well. Even Mark Agnew, Founder and CEO of Eyeglasses.com, said, " Now, eyewear shoppers both on and off the internet can educate themselves before making this important and expensive purchase. Many people need eyeglasses; spending time learning about eyeglasses is critical to finding the best glasses for their needs."

While this is certainly true, there is nothing that can match the expertise of your local Manhattan optometrist. Even if you already know your prescription, it is important to have a routine check-up every year. While you're there, you can also get caught up on the latest trends and styles, getting that information from the best in the business rather than an impersonal guide.
