I had such an awful experience at this place. They were not forthcoming with the prices for add ons, or even that anything that they said would actually be an add on for glasses. In addition, and worst of all, the strength of my glasses was making me dizzy. They said the frames just needed to be adjusted. I went back 2x with concerns about how unsteady I felt in my glasses. Nothing but physical adjustments of the frames. A year later I went somewhere else to get glasses, as I couldn't function with my current prescription , and the dr. tells me that my glasses are 3x stronger then they should be! Honestly an awful experience for me with people who could care less about their patient's well-being and only about $$! read more

Greg and the staff are excellent, honest and very generous! I highly recommend this optical store!

Yael Gatenio is the best person around to fit you for contacts. There is no one in this area who is as good as she is. She takes her time and really does an amazing job for fitting you with the best contacts. I tried a few places before being lucky enough to find Yael. Besides having an amazing person to fit you for contacts, All the others at eyeworks are super friendly and make you feel welcome the minute you come in the door. Highly recommend if you want to be fitted expertly for contacts read more

Friendly and helpful staff, outstanding optometrist that takes pride on his work and actually spends the time to explain things, he gave me a little education on eyesight. Things I've never heard before like gaining vision as you age. I was under the impression I needed stronger glasses and the opposite was true! Then he also recommended the right size frame based on my vision. Good stuff! read more

Outstanding service! I found this place on Yelp (obviously) and luckily they accepted my vision insurance. I went here for a routine annual vision exam and they were super accommodating with booking an appointment. Every single person here from Dr. Yael G (can't remember her last name), Robert to Jennifer at the front desk is exceptional. Highly recommend for thorough, uncomplicated and friendly service! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about the people who work here. They are consistently thorough, pleasant, and helpful. My glasses broke during the quarantine and I was able to quickly make an appointment here to have my eyeglasses adjusted and new prescription sunglasses lenses ordered. They are taking all safety precautions to keep customers and employees safe as stores reopen. If you want to support local businesses, this place is wonderful! 10/10 would recommend. read more

I just want to give my sincere thanks to the doctor who took care of me as I walked into the office, with no appointment, with a contact lens that literally broke in pieces in my eye. Thank you so much for your kindness and prompt attention. read more

Yet another good experience at EYE WORKS!!! My husband and I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The best selection in current frames and owners who really care about their customers satisfaction. Robert recently took care of a problem I had with my frames that in today's standards was above and beyond the service most places provide. Don't go anywhere else until you visit EYE WORKS.....Thanks Robert ....dc read more

Definitely would not recommend them. Completely overpriced. They charged me 300. 00 for 2 contact lens fittings. First they never told me there was a charge for this made up exam and I gave them our boxes for the contact lenses we already wear. Would not give me the prescriptions because I would not do business with them. The eye dr. Thinks he is God and deserves the money when my insurance company pays for regular eye exams. Apparently that is not enough for this greedy man. Never ever do business with them. I hope they go out of business. read more

They are the most helpful people. Everytime my family comes in for glasses, we are truly glad we came in. They know how to treat customers and are always willing to work with you. This place reminds me of how local businesses use to be, friendly and grateful for your business. The exam was great and I have never had any issues with my lenses/prescription. I have gone to other eyewear places from time to time but realize that I truly enjoy shopping here and wind up back in the store again and again. I support great local businesses and this is truly one of the best. read more

Great eyeglasses, great service, great prices! They go out of their way to help you pick the frame that is right for you. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

. I had a variety of surgeries at the end of 2009, required prescription glasses and went to Eyeworks. I was examed went fand I filled the prescription, the lenses themselves were over $300. During 2010 I followed up on at least four occasions in an effort to have Eyeworks submit my bill to Medicare so that I might be reimbursed, was given, what I thought then to be reasonable reasons for delay, along with a promise to followthrough. I returned several months ago and was told they would do it right then.Never hearing from Medicare, my wife went in to check, was told they were sure they submitted it, but did not make an effort to check their records, and when my wife said we had heard nothing, was told Medicare only covers cataracts; well, this was part of the surgery. The bottom line is they offered no assistance to followup and let my wife leave. For this reason, I am now a former customer, took my sons records away as well and would NOT RECOMMEND this business read more

The experience that myself and children had was awesome. In the words of son they are super friendly and attentive. Dr. Glenn explained everything in terms that we all understood . The owners were great the staff was great . They were friendly and I felt like I was part of the family. Eyeworks is truly the place to go for glasses! I will not go anywhere else! read more

I recently was refered to Eyeworks in Merrick and was extremely happy with the level of service. I had tried to wear progressive lenses in the past and was never successful, so I was hesitant to try them again to say the least. The optician Robert Friedman made me feel very comfortable and assured me that if it did not work out he would refund my money. As soon as I put them on I knew they were different from my old ones. I have now been wearing them for 2 months and they have been wonderful. These lenses have changed my life as I can read, and see distance at the same time. The staff at Eyeworks were nothing but helpful, and I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone. read more
