    Trying on contacts for the first time.
    Ericka R.

    I was walking by with my (14 year old) son and he mentioned I had promised him contacts last year. He wanted to play sports and was tired of breaking his glasses. The place looked clean and friendly so we walked in. I was expecting to get an appointment for the following week but my expectations were exceeded when they said they could see him right away. I worked with Ting for the initial set up and to get insurance information as well as after the appointment when my son needed to try on the contracts for the first time. Her patience was extraordinary! I also had a great experience with both doctors he saw (one for the initial appointment and one for the follow-up). They were both knowledgeable, kind, and took their time talking to my son. I will be going back for myself soon! Overall a great experience.

    I am extremely satisfied with Eye Genius! The gentleman who assisted me, Kenny, picked out frames that looked great on the first try. Wow impressive! He knew exactly what would fit my face and showed me multiple frames that were all in line with what I was looking for. Not to mention he gave honest feedback, and made the daunting task of finding the "perfect" pair of glasses stress free. Eye Genius prices are very fair for the quality, and trendy selection. Great customer service, great selection - Highly recommended!

    Need new frames look no where else come see Kenny at EYE GENIUS. I'm Astoria bound and I came across this place in search of new frames. Where do I start ?? From the moment you walk in your are greeted so friendly and inviting the store is sooooo clean. The staff is so professional, nice and informative they don't see you like a dollar sign $$$ they actually take time to find you the frames you like! And boy did Kenny take his time with me. Many pairs of frames later and I found my Versace frames. I love this place will definitely make the trip to come back!!!! Need an eye exam come here tooo!!!!! Trust me no other places out here can compare to them and trust me I looked. Happy I found them. Best place !!!!!!

I am still super nearsighted…read more I remembered how I had such a great experience at James Leonard Opticians 6 years ago, so figured I'd book my eye exam there and see how my terrible eyesight is doing (also, the DMV has been hounding me to submit my vision exam...) Stopped by after work (super grateful they have time slots for 6pm)- Dr. Stoica was very professional and personable, and took time to explain how my eyes are doing. She provided me with a referral to another specialist who could help me with an eye condition that's been on the horizon (like that hazy little house you see during the eye exam...!), so will hit them up next on my journey to not so terrible vision. Just great customer service across the board- if you're looking for an optometrist/glasses/contact lenses/a vision test for the DMV so they stop sending you guilt inducing reminder emails, look no further.

    Friendly, and affordable. I called to make an appointment,…read moreI got one for the next day. I was out of there within 30 mins with a full exam, and bought a pair of glasses that will be delivered between, 6-10 days. No complaints here.

    It took me two months of searching a variety of different locations before I found Westway, and I'd…read moredo it again to find such a wonderful, openminded, professional, friendly, and welcoming boutique shop. I was given no hassle when I arrived with a script in hand and only needing glasses. They were the only shop from my multi-month search that had even one pair I was willing to consider wearing for the next year, let alone the three I found. The prices are great. Even if you were paying out of pocket, Westway prices things reasonably. Their OOP price for the glasses (with lens treatment add-ons) I chose was equal to what I've paid at other places after all the insurance coverages and discounts were calculated. Oscar never once pressured me with an upsell to get a second pair of glasses or sunglasses, and he gave really solid recommendations after quickly catching on to my sense of style. And my finished glasses were ready in less than a week! As if that weren't enough, Oscar effortlessly passed the test I do every time I shop for glasses. I go to the women's section first. I wait for someone to redirect me to the men's section. I say something like, "You never know what you'll find...", and I await their response. Oscar's? "Ok!" And he chilled behind the counter until I was ready. Many thanks to the team at Westway for nurturing such an inclusive and safe medical and retail environment. Spread the word, consider bringing them your business, and help keep this gem serving customers for years and years to come.

    Full disclosure: I was first a patient at this practice in, if memory serves, 2008. And to this…read moreday, I feel privileged and very grateful to work with Dr. Soto and Dr. Pekarsky (whose father was my doctor back in the day) and the whole team, Paul, Stephany, Nadia, and Adam. If you need glasses and can get to this part of Manhattan, the only place to be a patient and a client is Kips Bay Optical. From the truly evaluative, real time spent, thorough, thoughtful, and all questions answered you leave with no stress or agita (Italian for heartburn and anxiety) appointments with Dr. Soto, to the honest recommendations regarding vision insurance (because not everyone's policy includes that (ahem, Anthem)), to the wide ranging in styles and price choice of frames, it is truly a pleasure to be a patient at Kips Bay Optical. Let it be said that eyeglasses, like jewelry, is an emotional purchase. When my prescription changed and I needed to get new near-sighted lenses, Paul and Stephany were as patient and honest with me as the best bespoke personal shoppers as I tried on easily 20 pair. I trust them in the same ways I trust Drs. Soto and Pekarsky. My trust began in 2008 and has only increased over time.

    We have been going to this shop for our glasses for a while and they always did a good job until…read morethe last time. They got both our prescription wrong and both the hubby and I had subsequent headaches - as a migraine sufferer, this is not good. Will we go back, probably not.
