There's some really nice staff working here! They are transparent with pricing and try their best to help you pick something for your face and budget. I was even given bottled water by my associate Grace! She had really good English and was good in helping me select a decent pair. It will be about two weeks before you'll get the glasses but you pay ahead and then you get a slip to pickup. Grace said she would text me when the glasses were ready! Great customer service! The place is modern and clean. The landscape of shops have changed so much, I think it used to be a Häagen-Dazs ice cream store! read more

Don't go, if you have Medicare or Medicaid. Went in with some seniors and the eye examine was done in less then 2 minutes. They look down on them and utter to the other staff member they are using Medicaid. * Update- both seniors prescription was very off. They were both not able to use the glasses* read more

I can't recommend Eye Genius enough - truly the best glasses place in NYC! The care and professionalism from the moment you walk in are unparalleled. I've bought several pairs of glasses and sunglasses here, and their selection of styles and brands is absolutely amazing. They have an in-house doctor for prescriptions and their team is incredibly helpful with insurance coverage. But the customer service is simply the best. Fernando deserves a huge shout-out; he's helped me with multiple sunglass/glass purchases, navigating insurance, and meticulously adjusting my glasses. He's always been incredibly patient, kind, and meticulous. For top-tier eye care, incredible selection, and exceptional service in NYC, look no further than Eye Genius. They are best in NYC and I would argue in the US! read more

omg i didn't expect a whole glasses makeover lol. i asked for a versace nose guard (one of them popped off) and Fernando fixed my nose guards free of charge, fixed my bent frame, cleaned my glasses and tightened the arms to my glasses. my goodness did i feel like a princess. i would definitely come back again. this time to spend some money with Fernando. Thank you so much!! read more

We had a visit with the orthopedist Dr.Goodman. He's amazing, really welcoming and he is great at explaining everything to you and the child. We're very satisfied with the service at Lumia, always! read more

Kenny very kindly adjusted my sunglasses without charge, and was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. Great spot!

This place is just darling and one of the cleanest opticals I've visited. I've been shopping around a few optical stores and ended up getting two pairs of prescription glasses here. I decided Eye Genius was the place for me due to their large selection of eyewear and the top-notch customer service. I made three visits to this store and each time was greeted with enthusiasm, friendliness and no pressure to buy. I worked with Kenny and Ting the most. Fernando and Aric are super nice and helpful, too. Ting and Kenny's patience is mind-boggling. They never looked exhausted or annoyed as I've experienced at other opticals. Kenny is incredible and truly understood what I was looking for. They offered plenty of choices, time for me to decide/try-on and made sure I felt comfortable with my decision. Leon is an absolute gem and one of the most talented eyewear handymen I've ever seen. He ensures your new glasses fit you like a glove - quick measurement and voila, fixed and perfected in one shot. Truly a work of art for him. As for COVID rules, they take your temperature at the front door and all staff wears masks. They have boxes to sanitize each pair of glasses that you've tried. Very sanitary and also helps with the try-on process because it doesn't have residue or gunk from numerous people trying it on. Eye Genius' selection is phenomenal. However, what keeps me coming back and what sets them apart from all the opticals is the outstanding service. Something was wrong with one pair of glasses and they owned up to the error and fixed it for me quickly. Their prices are reasonable even for out-of-network insurance coverage - it cost almost the same for a similar pair at another store with in-network coverage. Will certainly come back! read more

This optical shop is my go to place. They have modern specs at a great price. The staff there are also very nice.

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. read more

Great service and great price. The staffs were very attentive and knew what style of glasses would fit my face, they actually knew more about my face than I did! They were very patient on me choosing the right frame and provided great recommendations. I tried almost 30 frames and they were so helpful and not pushy. And they sent me a text message to follow up when my glasses were ready. Will definitely come back again!! read more

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! read more

Not sure which eye glasses place to go to in Chinatown? Look no more! Head to Eye Genius and you will be happy you did. Trust me, because I've been to multiple places in ct and they have the most trendy/updated collections. Even for the elderlies with Medicaid. I brought my uncle here after my experience here. He was very pleased as well. My favorite though was the staff. Fernando was very patient with me even though I'm quite picky and indecisive. He even helped me adjust my old eyeglasses for free! The eye doctor was super friendly and informative as well. Glad I've found my go-to eyeglasses place now. read more

I've been going to Eye Genius since they opened, about 3 years ago. The service is always excellent, and I feel being greatly taken care of each time. All staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I've worked with Grace, Kenny, Fernando, and Aric. They are all very good. My recent go-to is Kenny. If you want something different, go a bit off your comfort zone and try a new style, he's your man! He sure found something I haven't considered before, changed my mind about it and ended up getting compliments on my new eye wears. :)) They carry variety of brands and styles (e.g., high end, mid level, different shapes and colors) and have new arrivals every few months which I feel a bit different and step up from other competitors in the area. The store also feels airy and modern. They accept vision insurance plan and knowledgeable about insurance benefits so it's always a breeze to get an estimate before making a decision. I'm pretty sure you will find something here. The optometrist is also very good - very thorough and answered all my questions. There's almost always no wait to see him. read more

The customer service here rocks. From the quick eye exams to the abundance of frames to choose from, I highly recommend this place. They also take a wide variety of insurance plans though I would call in first to verify. Ask for Fernando! read more

I went in during lunch today with a pair of broken sunglasses, and the staff were so kind and helpful. They were able to repair my glasses within minutes and didn't charge me because of the easy fix. Generous, efficient, and so friendly! read more

I walked by EyeGenius while en route to another optical shop and decided to go in. Just with a question and to take a quick look. My regular spot had closed and I've been in the market. As it turns out, my instincts were right and I think I've got my new spot! Customer service was solid from entry to exit between the three employees I interacted with. I was greeted promptly and politely with a temp check and I saw them cleaning (sanitizing?). I had my own prescription, frames, and glasses, and they were able to help me ensure I would be getting the right rx. My glasses were ready when they said they would be (30 min). They not only ensured my new glasses fit well but also helped me with two other frames that needed realignment. I had been shopping around and can confirm fair pricing here as well. Pop in, pretty sure you'll have a great experience as well! read more

Eye Genius stands out because its employees really care about giving you the best possible customer service and experience vs. making a sale. The staff are friendly, cheerful, warm, and don't upsell you. It's the staff that made me decide to do business with them. Special shout out to Fernando for going above and beyond! I'll be a returning customer! read more

A really Amazing place with amazing and courteous people. Kenny and his cooworkers were really super nice and always willing to help with a smile. I told all my friends and coworkers to go there because, the choice of glasses and sunglasses is huge and you won't find nicest people than them somewhere else. Go for it. read more

Came here to get a new pair of glasses. The people here are great! No pressure at all. The staff was very helpful and guided you to help select a pair of frames. Kenny was the person who helped me. I didn't know what selections they have because they have plenty. Kenny worked with me on trying on different styles and finally narrowed down to a few. Prices are reasonable and competitive. I'm definitely coming back! Thanks Kenny. They took over what used to be a haagen dazs. I wish it was part ice cream part optometry. read more

It has always been hard for me to find a pair of glasses that I felt were really "me". After searching around so many stores, I finally found a pair I was in love with at Eye Genius! They have such a unique selection, with fair prices. It was hard to choose a frame because there were so many I loved! I didn't feel rushed or forced to pick anything, and the staff was so helpful and made the process fun. I was even able to get my prescription lenses in 15 minutes after choosing! Will definitely be back again-- such a caring and genuine staff. read more

We came into this place just literally looking for specific frames. My other half had broken his favorite glasses. We went on a hunt to try and find the exact same frames. We had the brand and model number. When we walked into Eye Genius we were greeted by Fernando. We showed him the broken glasses and asked if they carried these frames. He immediately knew that they weren't available in the store and went to check to see if he could order them for us. Unfortunately, the frames were discontinued. Fernando was such a pro and he was very knowledgeable. There was no hard sale just a comfortable conversation about other options that were available. He showed us other frames that were similar to the frames that we tried to replace. Fernando was very good at selecting flattering frames. They really offer a nice selection of designer frames. Anyone who wears glasses know that prices can get out of hand. We did have a budget in mind to when we were looking. He mentioned to us about a fantastic offer that they had. This offer included a specific selection of frames that you can choose from (very nice selection) and it included your prescription lens all for one price which was reasonable. I like that they do all the work in house and to me it was perfect, and very convenient. Otherwise we would have had to make another trip down here to pick up the frames. We were able to get everything done in one day. It was such an easy and fast processes for us. I have to say the customer service here was beyond fantastic. read more

Beautiful frames! And fantastic, personalized, caring customer service. I definitely recommend to any one looking to get sleek and stylish every way. Thank Fernando! read more

I went there to browse glasses with my partner and we ended up both walking out buying a pair! They accept alot of insurances so it's definitely worth going in and asking. Their selection is HUGE! So many drawers of glasses to try on. Kenny was extremely helpful in helping us find a pair we liked that suited our faces. It took about 2 weeks to get our glasses and we absolutely love them! read more

Kenny made the experience so easy! He helped me find the perfect pair of glasses! There are tons of selections you won't find elsewhere. I highly recommend Eye Genius! read more

The customer service at this optical store has been exceptional. We've been customers for about a year now and Fernando has done an amazing job accommodating all of my family's needs. Recently, because of Covid, we didn't have an easy way to get to Chinatown. So Fernando was able to get all of our eye care needs (refill prescriptions, pick out frames) done remotely over email/chat/phone. He even helped us replace the lenses for one of our pairs of glasses and offered to ship our glasses to our home. Fernando is always friendly, customer-oriented, and very responsive online. I highly recommend Eye Genius and Fernando! read more

This is called Eye genius because the people that work there are geniuses. I had an amazing experience at this store. Not only do they have phenomenal customer service but the doctor did an amazing evaluation of my eyes. They take such good care of you and are so so accommodating. I highly recommend this place for your eye exam and for your prescription eyeglasses! - Tracie read more

First time here and had a great experience. Once we (my mom and I) walked in, was promptly greeted by one of their staff, Kenny who also asked what we needed. He directed us to Peggy and Aric in assisting my mom in getting a pair of glasses. They thoroughly explained her vision insurance plan (which was really helpful). Also showed us a variety of frame options. Once we chose, the optometrist there had an exam opening and almost immediately had her exam. Dr. Lau was also very thorough and answered all of our concerns. The whole transaction was smooth. Their prices are also so reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

I walked in looking for someone to adjust my glasses -- I've just picked it up from another store and they were already crooked and uncomfortable. I wasn't expecting much, but this store blew my expectations out of the water. The workers were friendly and service was efficient! And at the end, my glasses are ever better for it. Thank you, Eye Genius! read more

Very professional and friendly staff. A great experience of getting new glasses. I was helped by Kenny for my new glasses. He is very friendly and professional. Not only he pay attention to your need, but he also help you think ahead with different scenario when picking your glasses. They also helped me to put new lenses on my other frame and I am very glad for their service. Also, a few weeks later when I go back to check out other glasses, they recognize me and offer free glasses cleaning although I did not get anything. They really know their customer and always like to help me to have the best glasses experience. 100% will go back for my next pair of glasses read more

I recommend this store if you ever need eye glasses. It was because I paid lesser money in this store and got the exact same lens for my glasses. Staff was knowledgeable, patient, and polite. read more

Kenny is the G. Patient, sharp, and very helpful. I can't recommend him and Eye Genius enough.

Excellent customer service, walk in eye exam available. Insurance plan explain in details. Professional staffs

When I visited, Aric was the utmost professional and attended to all of my needs. I may have tried on 30 pairs of glasses before I found, "the one". He was patient and did not rush me and reassured that I can take my time to decide. Everyone is super nice and is super helpful. I hope this kind of customer service remains this way. Although some of the products are pricier than other places, I would spend my money here because of the service and the professionalism. read more
