3rd time was the charm! After going to 2 other eyeglass places, with my mom - (including next door ) when my mom said "I still see double" they had said " get used to it and let us know". So when my husband needed glasses, I couldn't recommend him to the other places. He found MetroOptics in Parkchester. Upon arrival the place was packed, but not chaotic. We met Yvette and Angelica, who assisted my husband with superb customer service. He couldn't be more pleased with his new contact lenses and glasses. Aurora, took care of my mom. She knew as soon as she looked at my moms previous glasses- that they require a prism. That's impressive considering the 2 other places that had missed it. Glasses were ready in a few days . After picking up our glasses we can say these are the best we have owned. Aurora seems to value the individual in the community- you are not just a number. Professional, friendly, thoughtful, cordial and runs a great business. Can't wait to return. read more

Where do I start!! Well here it goes. I went there did my eye exam, picked out a pair of glasses which were quite pricey. Picked them up and went home. Had to take them back because I could not see clear with them and they ended up being too heavy. I changed frames. Picked them up when those were ready. Again the prescription was off. Picked them up again when they were ready and at this time I requested another pair of lens. They felt too small. I had asked them from the very beginning if they had the same Ray Ban frames that I was actually wearing. They said No but some how they managed this time to be able to order the same frames after me going back and forth multiple times for about 6 months for adjustments. Finally I go to pick them up and I noticed that the lens were not completely sitting inside the frame on the bottom part on both sides. They said they will fix them. I go to pick them up and they were still the same and this time they give me some bullshit excuse that because of my prescription that's how they gonna fit and that's all they can do. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? By this time I am so fed up with their incompetence that I just took my glasses and walked out. I am going to take my glasses somewhere else and hope and pray to God that they can fix them for me. I will NEVER go back to them!! read more

I Would never visit this location again. Wait times are very long. The staff talks to much with each other instead of helping customers. Prices are much higher than nearby stores for the same service. read more

I can not make this crap up with metro optics on parkchester. I've never seen such incompetent workers in my life. Shame on whoever hired them. On Friday 11/21 metro optics left a voice mail stating my glasses were ready. On 11/24/2025 I walk into metro optics on parkchester. I go directly to Ashley the same person who stated my glasses will be ready in 30 days. Lol I cannot make this ishhh up. I said I'm here to pick up my glasses. She says the glasses are not ready. I said this is the 2nd metro optics contacts me stating my glasses are ready. When they're not! Look at my reviews from last week. Where metro optics left me a first message stating the glasses were ready. At this point I'm extremely frustrated with the nonsense that goes on at this place for years. I told Ashley clearly this place lacks on communication. This is an on going issue with this company. She tried to give me a whole story as if I really wanted to hear the BS!! Then said someone didn't do their job. Clearly!!! It's an on going issue. I will be reaching out to 311 to voice my concerns. I would have never given metro optics a star. Unfortunately that's how yelp is set up. read more

On January 5, 2026, i went to this location for my annual eye exam. To date, i still haven't received the eye glasses that I purchased. When I inquired as the status of my order. I was told that an employee at another metro optics location had submitted a claim for someone else under my insurance, which meant I wouldn't get my glasses. I then called my insurance company and filed an insurance fraud complaint. After making numerous calls my insurance was reinstated. To make a long story short, this location is very unprofessional and racist against black people. Because it's no way that I should have to wait this long for a pair glasses, especially after the insurance fraud issue. I believe that management at this location is personally delaying my order. The owner(s) of this business obviously do not have any standards for their employees. I definitely would not recommend this business to anybody. In fact, I plan to explore the option of filing a lawsuit against this business for insurance fraud and unnecessary pain and suffering. read more

They had me waiting for 45 minutes just to drop my glasses off . On top of the facts the red head sales rep didn't even say hello how you doing nothing . Everyone works slow here and has no consideration for peoples time . read more

They have issues picking up the phone. Towards the later hours closer to closing they will straight up hang up on you for no reason. Extremely unpredictable service, the glasses they have are constantly going in and out of stock so when you want to replace your pair they may not even have it anymore. When you purchase glasses they try to add expensive addons without really disclosing that. I went in for glasses that were supposed to be covered by my insurance and she said the price was like $400, it turns out she added thinning and anti glare and transitions and mad stuff to it like when did I ask for that girl. And then they give you so much attitude for literally no reason both over the phone and in person. That one old doctor man is weird and annoying and I will NEVER see him again if I can help it. If it wasn't for those 2 ladies there that make me feel at home I would rate this place 1 star, frankly it deserves 0 without them. They deserve the world though, love them! read more

The service at this location is awful. I recently had an appointment at this Parkchester location and the follow up was just plain ridiculous. The doctor did a very good job with the examination. I selected my glasses and almost six weeks later I am still waiting to get them. I have never ever had to wait this long to collect a pair of glasses that I paid out of pocket for. It is a waste of time trying to call the number as no one answers the phone, just the machine. If someone actually picks up the phone they place you on hold. I was on hold today for 25 minutes on one phone while trying to call on another phone. Eventually the call that was on hold was disconnected. I would like Metro Optics to get me my glasses that I paid for, so that I can go and never return there. I was a customer at Metro Optics for years. After it changed hands, we were left with this bunch of unprofessional workers. read more

I have been going here for years! Great staff who have one on one with their patients. Very professional and knowledgable. Exceptionally clean location and front desk is always attentive with the phones:) read more

Been going here for years and the staff is always lovely. Nice to see them doing well especially through Covid. Needed glasses to go back to work and everyone was so sweet. Ivette (sp?) specifically helped me pick out the right shapes for my face and remembered me after so long. The doctor herself is so quick yet precise and informational, she made it easy to address any concerns. They also have their own lab and I was able to pick up my glasses within 2-3 days. Incredible service from their manager as well. My family and I will continue visiting only this location. Well worth any wait times! read more

*disclaimer* this location is under construction I've been going here for a few years now, first stopped in at the recommendation of a family friend who always gets there glasses here. I had to stop by recently for a repair on my old frames, and I freaked out a little when I saw th store was closed for renovations - but they have a cool temporary location truck outside where a couple of staff members are working. They went out of their way to assist me, apologized for any inconvenience and told me if needed anything else they can't do, they would make arrangements for me at one of the other Metro Optics. I'm glad they are renovating - it was a little cramped before. But my eye exams are always smooth, the doctor is low-key but nice, professional. The ladies that work with you to find glasses are funny, very patient, and always help me find the right look close to my budget. read more

Metro Optics Eyewear - Parkchester - Optometrists Near Me - Bronx, New York

I recently purchased glasses from this location. They were very kind and respectful up until I bought the glasses. then I needed to return the glasses because they were not working right for me. They said they were going to get back to me. They never even bother calling because they already got my business. Granted I only had 30 days to exchange his glasses, according to my insurance, they never even bothered contacting my insurance, they wasted my 30 days and now l'm unable to replace my reading glasses with ones that work. I will never recommend this place to anyone if you ever have a problem and they are not making money, they simply don't want or care to correct the problem I rate this place c-- 1 would highly recommend going to another Metro Optics where actually they are nice all the time not just when they take your money and are willing to help you out if there's any problem regarding your glasses! As you can tell my review is the most current review and speaks about this establishment as of now not 1 or 2 or 7 years ago!! read more

I waited 5 weeks to get a replacement pair of frames. They constantly said the wait was due to my insurance, but upon calling my insurance after 3 weeks, my insurance company informed me that the frames were ready. I showed up after 5 weeks, and the frames weren't even the ones I selected. They blamed the insurance company again. They had very blunt, rude attitudes on the multiple occasions I spoke to the associates. The last time I went there and got the incorrect frames, one associate said there was nothing they could do to help and was very unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Came in to see if my previous pair of glasses had a warranty. The staff was very helpful and provided me with the information I needed in order to receive a new pair. This location is currently under renovation but is still available for service if needed. read more

I've been a client of Metro Optics for many, many years. The staff has always been helpful and very pleasant on serval levels. My most recently visit I met Yvette. I will admit I'm one to take my time in choosing frames, most ppl aren't as understanding. Yvette understood me so well and made choosing frames fun and not so complicated. When I found the right fit it was magical lol. I say that because most of the time I do not find anything right away. Thank You, Yvette for making it smooth and effortless this time around. read more

Just my luck I broke my glasses. I usually have a go to glasses (ray bans I've been waking for God knows how long) Unfortunately, I woke up one day and broke them. These folks were able to seat me. Pair me up with a new pair/style. And I'm absolutely loving it. The process was smooth and they were extremely helpful. Thank you to Ashley, Eyvette, Erica, Sharron, Peter, Ashley and Doctor Binstock for such an amazing experience. read more

The eye exam seem ultra quick then way more time was spent on seeking glasses. Friendly enough.

Slight misunderstanding at the beginning but we went over everything in detail and we resolved all our problems encountered. The customer service was off the chains. I felt welcome and appreciated and well informed. Really recommend getting eyes checked and glasses from this location. Big ups to Kenny and the rest of the staff for showing pure friendliness. read more

I love the staff here! Their super friendly and it's a great atmosphere every time I go. The doctor is great. He explained everything to me and made sure all of my questions were answered. Yvette was fantastic! She taught me how to put in, take out, and care for my contacts. Kenny was super sweet. He checked me in and made sure everything was in order, then tightened my glasses for me! I've been coming here since moving to NY 3 years ago and will continue. read more

I went to another company across the street call Vision World Optics because I changed medical insurance unfortunately. I went to fix a rubber nose piece that fell off also my glasses I also needed adjustment. The ones I had on needed adjustment the girl told me because of CV-19 I have to leave them because they have no technician I told her the girl sitting down fixed my glasses the last time I was there I found it strange . She started talking about the CV-19 and I had to leave them for $10.00. I left went across the street to Metro Optics they don't except my insurance anymore but I took a chance . Once I went in the girl I told her I was willing to pay to fix them she said no am not charging you, she fixed them in seconds and adjusted the ones I had on. God is good. I went back to Vision World which in spent like over $500.00 there asked for my prescription, they just lost a client I will never go there again. Vision World the doctor there was unprofessional when I went for my eye exam I should have listened to my intuition then . Metro Optics I will change my insurance just to be back with them almost 10 years with them I was sadden when I changed insurance ... Love Metro Optics and there fames have Love Dr Yan read more

Love this place absolutely the best the service the prices excellent .claudette Lindsay metro optic customer

I literally just walked home from this shop. I absolutely loved the way I was treated there. The staff are so warm and inviting. I was very comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked in the door till the moment I left. ( I tend to be a bit reserved when I enter an establishment such as this one for the first time.) Everyone there was professional and you can tell that the doctor is very knowledgeable. I was very comfortable with him as well. Because of the staff there, I was led to pick out the best pair of glasses I've ever owned! I would definitely recommend this place time and time again! I'm a very happy customer!!! read more

I briefly spoke to Evette honestly I was shopping around and anticipated an unamused dismissal as most places do. However, Evette was extremely knowledgeable and addressed issues and concerns I had that I was not even aware about. This is by far the greatest customer service experience I had and it is attributed to her being knowledgeable, friendly, and concerned about the issues faced by customers. Love it! read more

I went in at the beginning of October for a routine eye exam. I was assisted in making an appointment as their saturday was booked. I went in for my appt and was greeted by name and assisted with paperwork. The optometrist was kind of off and simply did the eye exam, no engagement with me. But the optician helping me cynthia made up for that with her charisma and thorough assistance. Overall, I had a great experience. read more

I would like to take a moment to mention that Metro Optics of Parkchester has always been a professional experience for me and my family. All the employees are on point but one always stands out to me. Her name is Yvette. She goes above and beyond providing exceptional customer service. If I didn't know better, I would think she was the owner. That's the level of concern she displays to a customer. That is truly a pleasure to experience. By the time you're done being helped by her, you're left confident that you've received the best care. Thank you so much for yet another wonderful experience. read more

MetroOptics has shown an immense LACK OF CONCERN and DISREGARD for the customers who give it business. I used to take my family there regularly for checkups and new glasses, but it does not live up to the standard it had set up before. Upon walking in with my child at 1:30PM, I was told to sit down and wait until 2PM to see the doctor without an appointment. I was made to wait until 3PM with no proper explanation as people who came into the store after me were taken in to have their checkups and glasses repaired. When I pointed this out to the people at the desk, I was replied to in a disagreeable tone and with VERY poor manners. I was not informed that people with appointments would push back my visit with the doctor. I had to leave without seeing the doctor or repairing my son's glasses today. I'll find some other place to handle our eyecare from now on. read more

Fantastic and great customer service. Thank you to Delicia who was able to squeeze me in for an appointment and got my glasses ordered as well. I will recommend this to others. Keep up the good work. read more

I've been going here for a few years now. Usually my service is very mundane; i go in, i have my exam, i get my lens and i'm out. This year I fully expected the same thing to happen but I was wrong. Yvette, an eye wear specialist, was extremely helpful and supportive!! She was such a joy; she alone made my experience exceptional!!! She helped me use my insurance to my advantage, worked out my out of pocket price and i can't help but to mention how lovely it was that she took care of me, remembered my name and was a genuinely happy beautiful person. Metro Optics is soooo lucky to have her, and you should certainly ask for Yvette if you find yourself in Metro Optics and you need assistance. read more

Bad service sat for an hour while other ppl got called before us despite us arriving early for the appointment was referred by doctor or else i never would've came here lot of non eyeglass conversations taking place( singing / discussing lunch) INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE 5 FRONT DESK PPL ASSISTING OR ASSURING US WE WERE ACKNOWLEDGED - giving one star because ONE person was very nice to us im not fond of any establishment that doesn't interact with customers who have been sitting for a while or look to be anxiously curious about whats happening (tentativeness matters *) read more
