Both times Konstantin helped me select the perfect frames and didn't mind I tried many many pairs to decide, their selection is truly bespoke, i love my unique glasses. I have visited and tried other glasses stores in Manhattan but this is by far my new favorite, its a great addition to the neighborhood. The prices are a little high, but that's to be expected for the level of quality you are getting, to me its worth it, especially if you wear glasses daily like I do.

The issue comes with pricing with insurance. The sales lady (who was friendly and very helpful) said she could compare the price for $549 pair of Monclear frames with the stores discount vs my insurance. Proceeded to do the math in front of me and stated with insurance it would ~$630 vs with store discount and not using instance would be ~$600. You would think awesome savings? Wrong. She either accidentally quoted my benefits wrong or did it on purpose. Stated I had 20% off lenses when my insurance eye med covers it entirely with $15 copay, states anti reflective coating would be $99, when per my insurance should only pay $45 and stated I have $175 off frames when in reality I have $175 off and 20% off price above. When I did the math myself would be  $359.20. When she told me the insured priced it gave me a bit pause because I thought wow my insurance barely covers anything, did my benefits change drastically this year?! So I left to price shop and review my benefits. I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt but this is perfect scheme to entice a customer to use their coupon instead of insurance so they can maximize profits without having to deal with insurance reimbursement. Funnily enough if they actually quoted me the real insurance savings I would have purchased immediately. Now I certainly will not be back.

I'm sure he will reply negatively to this review as well, as accepting accountability and feedback is a skill he is still developing. Don't expect the same experience here as you received at Glasses on First.

Following numerous previous disappointing (and expensive) lenses/frames, I was referred by my Ophthalmologist to Ms. Ana Amarante, Store manager/Licensed Optician at Leonard Opticians (UES on 3rd Avenue). Ms. Amarante was welcoming, extremely attentive, patient, and following her advice (with both frames and lenses), I am experiencing the clearest vision I have ever had. My vision is precise, without squinting, or excessive head movement. Simply unbelievable! Ms. Amarante is a gifted, knowledgeable, and highly experienced professional. Recognizing this unparalleled opportunity, she guided me through preparation of three pairs of glasses (backup and sunglasses). I consider it a privilege to be able to encountered such a professional Optician as Ana. I am truly indebted to Ms. Amarante for her gifting me the best vision I could hope for.

Fine service, helpful staff, nice eyeglass frame selection…read more I've been doing business with a few Warby Parker locations over the years, and this NEW location is convenient for me. This NEW LOCATION IS ON THE Northeast CORNER OF THIRD AVENUE AND EAST 69th STREET. I can say that every Warby Parker location I have ever walked into has consistently had staff people wanting to help me, providing polite, professional service. I paid $25 extra so that I could EXPEDITE delivery of my new (progressive) Rx eyeglasses to the store location, so that I could pick up my two new pairs of eyeglasses at the store location rather than have them delivered to me. I did this because I lost my prescription eyeglasses and you do save a little bit if you order two pairs at the same time. For any reader who may not know what I mean, when I say progressive prescription, it means I can see distance and I can read using the same pair of eyeglasses because there are two prescriptions in the lens. And over the years, a lot of improvement has taken place with progressive lenses, so if you tried them years ago and have not tried them lately give them another look because they are much easier to use than years ago. I can recall with my first pair of progressive prescriptions the people telling me to be very careful when you step off the curb, be very careful when you get onto an escalator ...that was many years ago, but today it's fine. And last but not least, this new location is near the Target store on third Avenue and 70th , and it's also near the cookie store called crumble (CRUMBL) so I tried one Crumbl cookie for the first time and OMG the chocolate chip cookie was delicious, at about $5, for one large cookie. So, to sum up if you want to save money, $$$, consider ordering two pairs of your prescription eyeglasses at the same time you place your order. You will save a bit, and you will have a spare in case you lose a pair, or if you want to keep one pair in your bag at all times, and one at home at all times which would make it more convenient for you, consider the double order. And remember, you can use your flexible spending money to pay for your eyeglasses. So, remember to keep that in mind when you figure out how much money you want to put into your flexible spending account each year.

And then there's Maria -- the pinnacle of condescension. If the goal was to show me how unprofessional and unpleasant one person can be in under five minutes, she deserves an award.
