Krista & the crew over at Cohen's really took nice care of me. I had an updated eye exam, new lenses for my reading glasses & a brand new pair of prescription polarized Maui Jim's. Everything was ordered & arrived in only a few days. That's where I'll be taking my business every time! read more

A wonderful place! Went there to repair my favorite sunglasses that I bought somewhere else. Not only Anthony did it super fast but he also didn't charge me for it. I don't wear prescription glasses, but when I need them I will definitely go there. They have quite a selection! Everyone who works there is super sweet and friendly! I went there during the holidays and they asked me to vote on their very creative handmade holiday miniature displays. That was awesome, really brightened our day. Thank you to Kassie, Latoya and Krista for making our visit so interesting and fun! read more

Latoya was so very helpful. We will be usingCohen's from now on. Her suggestions were very helpful and she was very kind. She is a wonderful employee read more

friendly. fast. A+. They spruced up my old glasses in no time. And they did a great job!! Anthony Kowal. Ask for him

Technician fixed my granddaughter's glasses on the spot without charge and was super nice

They have a nice showroom with a large array of glass and sunglasses. The people were very welcoming and professional. It's nice to walk into a place and get service with a smile literally. read more

My son broke my brand-new sunglasses, and I did not want to bother filing a warranty claim through the company's website so I stopped in to see if they could be fixed. Kassie greeted me right away and assured me it was no problem then Anthony worked his magic and boom they are fixed! They also did not charge me which was super nice of them. Thank you! read more

I needed repair work done on my glasses. Staff took care of me promptly and lab technician, Anthony Kowal repaired my them quickly. Thank you for your excellent service. Frank M read more

Wow! This place has really taken a turn for the worse. They used to be great but their service is now terrible and they scammed me with cheap contacts and a rebate that I can't redeem. Take your business elsewhere. I've been coming here since they were located in the Gala mall but I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I saw that there's a new eye glass place in tanger mall. I'll be checking them out soon. read more

They are great and always helpful suggesting frames and work with you. They even fixed my husband glasses for free when he broke the string that holds the lens. been going here for years. love the! read more

We needed help with a broken pair of glasses and it was immediately taken care of successfully. The staff was very pleasant and extremely helpful. The price was very reasonable. I most definitely will come back if I need new glasses. read more

Anthony the technician was extremely helpful and friendly. I really appreciate the quality of customer service.

My husband & I went to Cohen's in Riverhead for new glasses and I for a vision test as well. The customer service was excellent. I had an appointment which brought me directly to the technician for required testing. She was very polite and explained all. The eye doctor took the time to answer all my questions and was very professional and caring. . My husband and I are both seniors and patience was appreciated. Shenae Langhorn, Sales Associate, took the time to suggest which glasses were best suited for us and was kind, professional and we felt she had our best interest. We both appreciated her patience and time she took with us. Overall a great experience. We highly recommend Cohen's in Riverhead. read more

Cammy assisted me with my issue immediately. She was polite, professional, and courteous. Great patient care!!

They stand behind their product and have fixed and adjusted my frame less glasses for years. Their technician, Anthony is nothing short of a miracle worker fixing my glasses after I stepped on them. Aside from straightening the frames he replaced the bushings making them like new again. The glasses were so mangled, I did not expect they could be repaired. At other times, Anthony has adjusted the sides and aligned the lenses for a proper fit. All the staff is friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking at their new location. I won't go elsewhere because they have provided great service. read more

OMG!!! Best service I've ever had at an eyeglass place!!! My glasses needed the slightest adjustment and they did it immediately!!! Thank you so much Charlotte, for STELLAR service!!!! Check out her new line also.... (Shown) read more

Cohen's Fashion Optical - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Purchased a Groupon, big mistake! The deal was $35 for a eye exam and $200 off glasses. Called to tell them so and was repeatedly told it won't cover contacts despite me telling them I hardly ever wear them. Kept suggesting it for $100 more, those RX expire in 1 year if you want to order contacts online, etc. I once again said I just want the eye exam and maybe glasses. "Groupon isn't always the best deal when you come in we can explore options". I had already purchased it a couple of months ago. When I arrived I was told the Groupon is only valid IF I also get glasses OTHERWISE its $50 for the eye exam and the Groupon which I cannot get a refund on any longer (the refund window closed) is not applied to anything as "that's not the offer". Yet when we spoke on the phone if I needed glasses and wanted to also get a contact lens exam for $100 they'd apply the $35 towards my bill. So I spent $35 on a Groupon I can't get a refund on and they'll only honor if I buy glasses. They tried to reassure me that I can find glasses for as little as 150 if I wanted. I said sounds good but I'd like to see them before proceeding. They were massive and junky. When I asked for slightly smaller frames to fit my face the price went up to $350 and combined with progressive lenses at $350 before any coatings and I'd be into it for 700 as a minimum (ok 500+ with the Groupon for glasses only). Seems shady not to mention it in the Groupon nor over the seemingly thorough phone call where everything else was spelled out. I'm out $35 and my time. This is precisely why I've gone elsewhere for prescriptions at customary rates and found glasses online for less than a third of the cost. I'll go someplace to get the RX that is up front. Years ago I went to a Cohens that price matched. I paid almost 1/2 what the original bill was set to be. I didn't even bother this time. read more

I am a young mom who had to bring my one year old with me in a stroller which as you can imagine, can be a nightmare but alas, i had no choice. I was helped by two amazing women, Sinead was not only an excellent saleswoman who worked with me and my budget to achieve the look i wanted, but also was so patient and kind with my son when he started acting up a bit. Another woman who helped me during the exam, forgive me i don't know if i got her name, but was also AMAZING and even put a cartoon on her phone so i could do my exam with the doctor. the staff here is so so so wonderful and there's not enough nice things i can say. read more

Great staff. The people who work here are knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The prices are high, but that's true no matter where you go. At least here, if there is a problem, they will work their hardest to make it right. Nice, decent people. read more

Went to Cohens for my daughter's new glasses. Walked in and they were packed but Samantha came over and helped us as well as other customers. All I can say is she is amazing, the selection was amazing and we ended up with 2 new pairs of glasses and new lenses for her old frames. Would go back and definitely recommend this business. Everyone was so nice even when it was jammed. read more

I honestly don't consider going to get glasses an enjoyable experience; it's something that needs to be done. However, my recent experience changed that. From my eye exam to picking up my finished glasses, the whole experience was Great! Thank you Samantha for your professionalism and friendly demeanor. And Anthony, thank you so much for "resurrecting" a few of my old sunglasses!! Muh appreciated! read more

Cohen's Fashion Optical provided amazing service to me on 4/24/2021. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. The exam was thorough and done in a very timely manner for the weekend. They have a wide selection of glasses, and they helped me pick out my perfect pair of glasses! Charlotte and Sarah were both especially helpful and made my shopping experience amazing! This was the best experience that I've ever had shopping for glasses. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Just left my new glasses with them. This is the third time they got them wrong. Wrong prescription, glasses aren't sitting right in the frame, one lens darkrns in sunlight, one doesn't - nothing is ever right here. Never going here again. read more

Great experience. Dr. Miller was thorough and pleasant. Samantha was super helpful and professional. Samantha and Anthony worked on the project of repairing my old glasses and did great work. read more

From start to finish they were nothing but professional. From the exam to frames to pick up, easy and pleasant experience. Would definately recommend this store for your next glasses or contacts. I purchased the new Anthony Remigio line. read more

I had a prescription for new glasses and went to Cohens in Riverhead ,Was greeted by a wonderful young lady named Sarah!She was compassionate,Knowledgeable and very helpful!Went out of her way to help me find glasses within my budget!I had a very positive experience!I would totally recommend Sarah and Cohen's fashion Optical read more

If you're looking for outstanding service and reasonable prices I would highly recommend this business. Today I went in and got my contacts taken care of, an examination, prescription sunglasses and another pair of glasses updated. This was all done very quickly and courteously. I want to extend my special thanks to Shenae, Dr. Miller and Lynne for doing everything so well. read more

Everybody in here was very nice and comforting ! Especially Samantha! When we were doing the puff of air in my eyes I'm usually really nervous but she made me so comfortable. And everybody behind the counter was really helpful trying to find me glasses that suit me. Thanks again Samantha and the whole team! read more

I want to thank Dr.Ania for her time and attention when seeing me for an unscheduled visit. Samantha, Sarah and the entire sales team were so awesome and helpful when I was picking out my new frames and listening to concerns that I had. I'll definitely be back for my exam next year. read more

Would highly recommend not going to these people. The store is a shakedown, they will nickel & dime you. Also if you ever need a copy of your eye prescription for another place or state, they will make it up and not give out the real copy. Beware filling that written prescription. Real copies poses a Dr Signature on them, theirs just has numbers written on them. As for frames & such if you every choose to get an exact copy they have no idea what they sold you in the past to order the same pair. Best advice go someplace else you'll be much happier in the end, and if your insurance covers this place, look closely into where the next place under your insurance is and go there. read more

Horrible people. I was on a business trip and had lost contacts. They would NOT forward my info to the city I was staying in...meaning I was blind! Rot in hell. read more

Great customer service! Friendly staff . Fast delivery for items that I ordered. I will recommend to everyone that I can

New management really makes a difference. I've been going here for years and my last appointment was a whole new experience! The new technology made this appointment so enjoyable and all of the employees are as lovely as ever! They dealt with a very rude customer in a calm and collected manor and didn't let her negative energy get them down! Last but not least, mine and my mom's glasses arrived in 2 days! Will definitely be returning to Cohen's optical. :) read more

Went to the store today for an eye exam and new glasses. The sales girls were amazing, so sweet and so knowledgeable. Great experience with the owner as well. She gave me a great deal because I bought two pair. read more

In desperate need of new glasses, a coworker suggested I try Cohen's Optical. As anyone who wears glasses knows.... picking out frames alone can be daunting... but not in this case. I was warmly greeted instantly and attended to immediately with several choices of frames by 2 woman who were nothing but professional and courteous. The entire process was seamless. Samantha was very patient & made sure I was completely satisfied with my choice. If it weren't for her... I would have picked out the same boring pair I've worn for years. I now have a beautiful pair of glasses I love, that fit well and are so comfortable I hardly know I'm wearing them. (not to mention... the price was right!) Thank you to all at Cohen's!!! read more

There aren't enough words to express my appreciation to the staff, especially Samantha, at this location. I've been to other establishments and was never satisfied with the results. The staff was beyond courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and informed about every aspect of eye care. Lynn gave the most through exam I've ever had and covered each part explaining what was happening. I knew that another pair of glasses, purchased from a different company, had a problem with the lens. Lynn immediately located the error, so fast I was amazed!! The Doctor picked up an issue with cataracts that was never diagnosed before. Samantha explained every aspect of the lens, thickness, coating, durability. Prices were way beyond reasonable and the selection of frames was huge! Thank you just doesn't cover my experience. I highly, highly recommend Cohen Optical. read more

If I could choose 0 stars, I would. Buyer beware. I went in last year for my first pair of glasses ever. So, as an uninformed consumer, I was shocked when a pair of glasses would be $600. As I started to walk out without making a purchase, the price quickly came down to $329 (I provided the frames). After making the purchase, I want back a few months later to have the glass moved from one frame to another (the arm broke) and you would have thought I was asking them to remove my kidney. I recently went to Costco and took the exact same frames and got the exact same prescription (progressives, transitions) as I did at Cohens for $129. $200 cheaper. If you shop here or plan to....pay for a membership at Costco and you will save a fortune. read more

Will never go back here or recommend. Granted the manager or whoever she was informed me that all of the office staff was brand new... this place was a joke. The woman I spoke to was very helpful with working out prices for me. My contacts were not covered by my insurance (they told me this after the exam) and she helped me find the best deal. It did take over an hour as she kept having to leave to go help the other office staff who didn't know how to help other customers. Other than that there isn't must to say that's positive. The store was a disaster and completely unorganized. Apparently everyone else had quit within the past week? Wonder why. The doctor (female) I saw was very nice. She gave me a trial pair of contacts to wear until the new ones were in. They didn't have my exact prescription but she gave me as close as they had.They were too strong in one eye and blurry in the other but I didn't think much of it.... I never received a call when my glasses were ready... I had to call them a week later to ask if they were in. I was wearing the trial contacts they gave me when I picked them up. No one offered me to take them out to verify I could see out of the glasses.Turns out she wound up writing my prescription down WRONG so everything was screwed up. The next morning I tried the glasses... I couldn't see and the girl on the phone told me that it sometimes takes a few days for your eyes to adjust to new glasses if your prescription changes.... true... but I couldn't even see my feet. Had to argue with her to get another appointment with a different doctor to have my exam redone. When I went for the second exam I stood outside of the store for almost 10 minutes as they weren't open yet. If you can't get your store open in time for a 10am exam... then don't make the first exam at 10... The second doctor (male) was fabulous. I had brought my past two glasses for him to compare. He was kind, humorous, and extremely helpful. When the new prescription was brought to the counter I had to ask them to reorder my contacts as they were also WRONG. She told me it would take about 5 days for the glasses and 7-11 for the contacts. When I went to pick up the corrected glasses (got a call this time) she handed me two boxes of contacts. I told her I got a call that my glasses were ready, not contacts, and asked her to verify if the contacts were the right prescription because I had to have them reordered only 4 days ago. She looked at the boxes and at the paper and said "I think so" and handed them back to me..... it took two of them 15 minutes to find the new glasses. I tried them on and they were great, although they were dirty and they didn't offer to clean them. I asked her again to verify if the were the correct contacts and she blew me off mumbling "yeah" and walked away. I had to ask her to come back and label the contacts right and left..... I haven't tried the contacts yet... I took a picture of the correct prescription and have yet to compare them to the prescription on the contact boxes.... although I have a feeling I may be going back or getting another call that my correct contacts are in! Won't be going back here and should have read the other reviews before making my appointment. I picked them because it was close to my house and they had office hours that worked with my crazy work schedule. Next time I'll go to Walmart and just order glasses online. read more

Quite possibly the worst experience. I've been wearing glasses for 21 years and this was my first trip to this establishment. Previously, I have been going to the Riverhead Walmart, but I felt there were quality issues with their glasses. Quite frankly, the eye exam at Cohens was much less thorough than the exam at Walmart. The Optometrist was curt and seemed in a hurry. I was handed a pair of glasses by counter personnel, that seemed completely untrained and there wasn't even an optician available to ensure that my glasses were even properly adjusted to fit me. Comparable glasses that I had purchased at Walmart were half the cost of the glasses that I purchased at Cohens. Clearly, that difference in price puts to rest any quality issues that I was concerned about. I will be going back to Walmart from now on. read more

Nice people. Experienced and kind doctor. Worked with me on price of frames.
