I am so pleased with my glasses and most importantly with my prescription. Dr. Kim was excellent, professional, easy to work with and didn't rush me when trying to optimize my RX, I really appreciate her willingness to go slower because now my vision is spot on which makes world of difference and all the staff who assisted with picking out frames were very nice and helpful the experience couldn't be better thank you so much read more

Went in needing a lens repair- Jamel was able to get the new lenses put in that day and repair two rubber ends that were worn out. Really appreciate the great work & customer service! read more

We walked in last minute because my daughter forgot her contact lenses right before a show. The staff was incredibly kind -- they confirmed her prescription and even gave us two trial boxes on the spot! Such friendly and helpful service -- truly saved the day. We'll definitely be back! read more

Dr. Rimm was super knowledgeable and helpful. The staff, including Ari, were also excellent and very meticulous in helping me select frames that fit and have a nice style. read more

Best optical shop in NYC! Hands down! Lovely staff. Incredible selection. Phenomenal lenses. I've owned dozens of pairs of glasses in my lifetime, and EuroOptica is the only place I'll go from now on! I stumbled upon them by accident because I needed a pair of glasses adjusted and they were the only shop that carried the brand needing adjustment. They kindly made the adjustment at no charge soon after I came back after seeing my ophthalmologist with my new prescription. Don't trust your eyes to just anyone. You only get one pair of eyes in your lifetime. EuroOptica will treat your eyes like their own! read more

Phenomenal customer service! I read about this store, and based on its great reviews, I went in to have them fit a new set of polarized lenses on a pair of sunglasses I bought elsewhere. They did so within 5 minutes and did not charge me for the service. I was floored by their kindness, but they acted like this was their normal level of customer service to the community. While I was there, I checked out their selection of frames and sunglasses--beautiful products! I'll definitely be going back here for all of my optical needs in the future. read more

Great staff and Optometrist was friendly and eye test thorough. They use state of the art eye testing equipment.

Fabulous store for all your eyewear needs. I only needed a repair and Jamel was happy to assist. Assortment of glasses is incredible . Will definitely start buying all glasses here! read more

The highest praise for this optical store. I had a very difficult situation and timeline. The staff collectively was determined to make things work, even when I was ready to give up on a solution. They went above and beyond what I would ever expect a business to do. Every avenue was explored to solve my problem. When I expressed surprise at the willingness to go another inning, the reply was, of course we will, "We are EUROPTICA!" Many thanks for continuing the journey to come to a happy ending. Special thanks to Creig and Ellen and Gordon! All are knowledgeable and thorough. Five stars. read more

My first visit was a walk-in with a small task to change one lens of my reading glasses. I was greeting with alacrity, friendliness, and a clear desire to deal efficiently and professionally with my (meagre) need. Extras were rolled out with attention from Ellen, a manager, offering coffee, chocolate and water, hallmarks, now exceptional, of a customer-oriented experience. EuroOptica has its own lab, a wide range of frames from multiple domestic and international sources. Technicians approached all clients for discussion while I waited my turn. No one was rushed, the vibe was attentive but relaxed. The price was reasonable, I will be back. read more

Walked in to replace my nose pads--done in minutes. Super nice team, fair price, and they adjusted the fit perfectly. Really great experience! read more

had an emergency with a complicated pair of frameless Cazal specs. EuroOptica to the rescue! fixed it in no time. hospitable and friendly. highly recommended. read more

I am a psychologist who works with cancer patients, so I am very familiar with all the challenges that people face in terms of getting any kind of medical care. Getting glasses is no exception. After visiting a number of businesses, I went to Eurooptica. This is now the optician of my dreams . It would be hard to express how excellent their services are. I was very indecisive about choosing frames, but Ellen was sensitive and accommodating beyond measure. Before getting glasses, I had tried to research the question of differences among the various manufacturers of optical lenses. That information was close to impossible to find. Yet, Ellen was extraordinarily knowledgeable. She taught me things that I had been unable to learn about online. I could go on about the details of my experience, but the bottom line is that during a lifetime of wearing glasses, I've never had such a great experience with an optician. I am extremely grateful. read more

I can't say enough about EuroOptica on the UWS so I thought as always I would rant and Rave about how very much I love them and the beautiful pieces of art they have at their beautiful store. I'm still quite new to wearing glasses but this Is my second pair of glasses I have purchased from the store. From the time you enter the store you are welcomed In with big smiles warm Hearts and a very knowledgeable kind sales staff that are very experienced with what they do. Dr Jessica Rimm gives you a very extensive thorough eye exam and makes sure to fit you with the right pair of prescription frames. Odila Roman Is one of the wonderful sales staff there and I really owe so much for her taking the time to show me beautiful frames I myself would of never even glanced at or tried on. She's the absolute best. I'm sorry, I don't know everyone's name that was so helpful towards me during my time and experience there. Everyone Is so kind polite and happy. Then there Is Ellen the owner that has really went above and beyond on both of my experiences and visits to the store. She Is so amazing understanding and really cares and listens to what you need or want and has personally bent over backwards for myself to make sure I'm happy. I just really wanted to write another review after my very first one a year ago to say Thank you very much for everything and how much I love my glasses and frames. Very loyal and happy customer I cannot wait for my next trip Back to the establishment. Anthony Arroyo read more

See all

I went for a new pair of glasses and frames (for me, multifocals, with thinning technology for my very strong prescription). My old frames smashed to smithereens, and I had been delaying updating my glasses prescription. I mostly used my glasses at home because I did not like how I looked in glasses. This was possibly the best experience I have ever had. First, the frames: they have an amazing collection. Plus the person who helped me was very honest with her opinion (per my request), even pointing out fit issues that I did not notice. She did not try to rush me or sell me an expensive frame that did not really work. I ended up with a pair I would not have expected that made me smile just to put them on. It was less expensive than the other one I had been considering, but she pointed out my smile when I put them on (the frames are subtly fun), so I went with that. I am now always wearing my glasses in preference to my contacts! Thank you!!! Second, I needed my eyes tested and they slotted me in with no difficulty to see their optometrist, who was very competent, pleasant and professional, saving me a lot of time. Third, we went over the various components of my lenses in careful detail to determine what options made the most sense for me. (I was perfectly fine with a less expensive option for thinning the lens. She was honest about the difference.) I was truly impressed with the service and selection. Really unusual. And they give out free chocolate... read more

I am a return customer, with another great experience to report. This time also included a refraction by the optometrist (who was far more thorough than the last place I had gone). Like in the past, every single person I dealt with this time was friendly, professional, patient and went out of their way to help. Also - re the comment below by the person who wondered if he was dressed too casually: I have a terrible habit of going out to do errands looking like a real mess. The staff might recognize me as a customer by now, but before that every one of them still treated me with respect and attention, including every time I came in to look at a certain brand of frames that I surely looked liked I couldn't afford. Maybe someone just had an off moment or it was someone who didn't or won't last long, but my consistent experience is that the customer service here is above and beyond. read more

Best contact place ever! It's the only place in the city that is really that special. Whenever you come in, there's chocolates and coffee and everyone acts like a family! Love this place so much it's just the perfect neighborhood feel read more

the whole team could not have been more helpful when I walked in with 2 pairs of uneven and loose frames. they got them right in order after I had gone to two other opticians! read more

from the moment I decided to select a pair of glasses online to picking them up in person I was impressed with the customer service . I found a unique pair of glasses I could only order from them online. europtica reassured me there was no pressure to buy them only a a down payment to order them . you can trust them , if you don't like them there's no pressure , you get your deposit back no questions asked . l fortunately loved mine , my friend who ordered some didn't , they gave her back her money , no pressure ! A shoutout to Ellen especially who walked me through the process and I got to meet in person when I decided to try them on in New York ! SHE was fantastic . Professional, honest and very patient through the whole process . Don't hesitate to order from Europitca ! read more

Creig at EuroOptica is exceptionally knowledgeable and provided invaluable assistance with my glasses, which I had purchased at a nearby store. After dealing with the other optical store for five months and four different sets of lenses, they were unable to make my glasses correctly and admitted they couldn't identify the issue, advising me to consult another optical technician. Feeling helpless, I Googled other optical stores nearby and called EuroOptica on the UWS. Creig answered the phone. He was incredibly friendly and invited me to come in. Within minutes of examining my glasses, he identified the problem and gave me clear instructions on how the other store could fix the lens issue. I immediately headed back to the original optical store and told them what Creig had found. They confirmed it and are remaking my glasses for the fifth time! I am deeply grateful to EuroOptica and especially to Creig for his expert assistance. Additionally, I was very impressed with the modern and well-designed store, and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. EuroOptica will definitely be my go-to place for ordering glasses and contacts in the future. I will certainly recommend EuroOptica to all my friends and family! Creig, thank you once again for your outstanding help today! read more

Store manager was so rude to me because she was busy with some clients who clearly came with money and maybe I was dressed casually maybe?

I wanted to give the highest praise and compliments to Kyle at the UES store on 72nd St and 3rd. He was so helpful and thoughtful in helping to repair a pair of glasses that I bought at Warburg but Warburg declined to help me. I will never go there again. Service matters a lot. Kyle could have sent me away like Warburg did but he graciously spent the time to effect a quick repair of glasses I absolutely needed to have repaired today. If you want to see bad employees go to Warburg where four salespeople standing around refused to help and said they would need to be sent in for repair. I promise to buy my next glasses from this store because there is no reason for a bricks and mortar store if there is no customer service. Kyle was exemplary. If only there were more people like him. Kyle was awesome! read more

I couldn't be more satisfied with my EuroOptica experience. From our initial phone consultation (I live 2 hours north of NYC but am there frequently for work) to my first in-person visit to the final fitting, Ellen was wonderfully responsive and helpful. I'm very pleased with the frames she helped me select and, as she predicted, the lenses are a noticeable improvement over my last progressives. I'm already planning to return to replace my prescription sunglasses. read more

THE BEST!!! If looking for quality, in service and product, there is no better place in town. Frame selection is absolutely outstanding, but even better, is the support one gets from everyone. I had a thorough exam by Dr. Rimm and later Keith, Creig and Penny gave me an honest opinion and recommendations on frames. (Note: I thank them for their patience, for I spent a lot of time at the store playing with frames.) BUT, the star of the store is Ellen S., who got me the first pair of fabulous glasses with progressive lenses that I was able to adjust to immediately. Ellen did same magic with the rest of our family. A number of strangers whose frames I complimented, immediately responded with "Eurooptica on Columbus," and several specifically mentioned Ellen, though a few did not remember the name and gave me her description. We have been coming to Eurooptica for years and would not dream of going anywhere else. Thank you, Eurooptica and especially Thank You, Ellen. read more

In between eye surgeries, I needed a temporary prescription and eyeglasses ASAP so I could go about my life before my next surgery (which was still 3 weeks away). I knew EuroOptica had a lab on site so was hoping I could walk out with new glasses same day, as their site promised. That's not the only promise Ellen and her wonderful staff at this fantastic boutique kept. I got expert style advice (Ellen quickly found 2 beautiful frames that fit my aesthetic perfectly), a caring and very thorough eye exam, a generous discount on my temporary lenses and the super quick turnaround I needed. It was a real pleasure - I can see why many other customers have said they love stopping by just to hang out with Ellen and her team! But check out their frame selections too while you're there: they have some super cool, couture styles. read more

Craig was super helpful and fixed my glasses within minutes! Will definitely come back next time I buy glasses!

I was very pleased with EuroOptica's selection and ordered through their website. Unfortunately, my style was discontinued, but the EuroOptica team (ART) took care of my return and all was handled and refunded efficiently. read more

Great service, knowledgeable staff, great frames, great UWS location Also, very good espresso.

Eurooptica is the for me the best of the bests in optics. I have never received such a good help from any optic in the past. Ellen, the commander in chief, is so kind and knowledgeable and her team of people is great too. Creig solved a problem I had with mi glasses. He is an expert and very clever at finding solutions. They were very generous in giving the needed time to solve my issue. They have a great collection of the best quality glasses! Thank you so much ! read more

Omg i was so upset that a screw came lose in my rag and bone sunglasses. Like devastated because I'm a drama queen. But i never feel cute in sunglasses and these make me feel amazing. Anyway. I brought them in and Monica and her crew were able to fix them. They were so nice and helpful and I will now only there for all my eyewear needs. They have an amazing selection and are not pushy at all- very relaxing and inviting and professional. Highly highly recommend! read more

There is none better than Eurooptica. Great service and very friendly staff. I am delighted with the frames that were suggested from me. I've gotten compliments on how attractive my new frames are! read more

I wanted to renew my driver license online and needed an eye exam. I was 15 mins early for an hair appointment and EuroOptica was around the corner. I had no appointment, I didn't even know if they did the exams. I walked in and spoke to a woman named Ellen and she could not have been nicer or more efficient. Plus I noticed they had amazing frames for glasses so I will be back to get new glasses! read more

Constantine and his team have a beautiful store with great, fashionable, high-quality frames and their service is top notch!!!! He was so patient and spent so much time with his optical expertise!!!!

EuroOptica - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - New York, New York

I was blown away by EuroOptica's expertise and customer service, and I'm so glad to have found a lab with such attention to detail and professionalism. I wear high-prism progressives for a farsighted prescription, which can cause vision and vestibular problems if not measured and manufactured by eyewear experts with experience in complex prescriptions. I walked into EuroOptica without an appointment, hoping to learn about the types of lenses they made and get a feel for their attention to detail, measuring/fitting process, pricing, and customer service. The last lensmaker I tried made my lenses wrong multiple times, resulting in a four-month delay (and four months of migraines), so I wanted to be sure I was buying from a team up to the task. Ellen and Creig spent the better part of an hour not only answering my questions, but actually taking the time to educate me on the technology used in different brands' lenses and lens types. They also asked me about my lifestyle and reading needs, which allowed them to provide a lens recommendation and fitting that has resulted in better vision than I've experienced in years. Their customer service was impeccable. EuroOptica finished my lenses within their promised timeframe despite the fact that I brought them frames without demo lenses, meaning that the optical technicians had no template lens and had to shape the lenses by hand. They did this without delay or upcharge. I highly recommend EuroOptica and their expert team! read more

I ran out of contacts on my last day of a trip to New York City. EuroOptica was so friendly and great. They took care of me in a time of need. read more

I posted a review yesterday and today I am posting a retraction. The manager Ellen reached out to me on her day off to make everything right. Her professionalism went beyond my expectations and I can say now that their customer service is excellent and I am looking forward to doing business with them in the very near future. My glasses are wonderful and I am extremally happy with the results, read more

After reading a lot reviews on line, I dropped by and tried to get myself a pair of glasses. I specifically ask for Lindberg and ic Berlin since they listed as vender for both. The sales woman is rather lack of knowledge regarding either brand. I figure if this is your job to sell glasses, you should have some knowledge about those glasses, otherwise, why you work in glasses store. After I left and got on line and found out their price is way more than the one in other specialty store. I wonder where the "good " review come from. read more

Truly a lifesaver!! I came in with a very bent pair of glasses and they completely fixed them!! I was in a panic and they put me at ease from the moment I stepped in the store. While waiting, the team was so hospitable and offered me water, tea, and espresso while I waited (which was only 5 min). As if it couldn't get better, they said it was free if charge. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! read more

Went in to get my sunglasses a quick fix/tweak, and Craig offered to fix it for free! He even cleaned them and gave me cleaning liquid for free also. My glasses felt good as new. All the employees were super friendly. Would definitely recommend! read more
