Went into Milan Optique and had a really good experience. Vlad helped me out and made the whole thing feel way easier than I expected. Shopping for glasses can get annoying fast bc after a while everything starts looking the same, but he was super helpful and gave actual honest opinions. Not pushy at all either, which I really appreciated. They also have a really solid selection. A lot of nice frames, but it still felt easy to look around and try stuff on without getting overwhelmed. Vlad helped me narrow it down and was really patient while I went back and forth more than i probably shouldve lol. Ended up leaving with two pairs I really love. Just overall a really smooth experience and I'd definitely go back. read more

Shady as hell. I booked my annual appointment and filled out several forms, which seemed odd since I was just there a year ago for my last annual appointment. Showed up for my appointment and the desk person told me that my insurance (Aetna) only covers standard eye exams every TWO years. I have never heard of this in a lifetime of getting eye exams. I said that this sounded wrong to me because every insurance plan I've ever had includes one eye exam per year--that's why they're commonly referred to as "annual" exams. The guy said, "Well, the doctor will still see you today, but you'll need to pay for everything upfront." I said that I won't do that because it defeats the purpose of having insurance. Of course at this point, they've already got my insurance. I didn't have time to call and check on my plan/policy there in the store; so I just left. Just checked, and of course my insurance covers one eye exam per year. Maybe it was just a mistake on their part, but it happens to be the type of "mistake" that is often used as a tool of insurance fraud. Awful. read more

I wear Coke bottles. No one carries them; it's a special order deal. So when I dropped my glasses and accidentally stomped them out of existence I really thought I was going to have to become a hermit for the two weeks it was going to take to get a replacement. Thankfully, a friend was able to connect me with Milan. I wasn't able to get there to try on frames, so they picked for me based on a selfie and my budget. My glasses were ready the next day they look amazing, and most importantly, I'm no longer at risk of stepping onto the subway tracks under the impression that I'm crossing the street. read more

Separate and apart from being so conveniently located in the neighborhood - no matter if it's a small fix or ordering script glasses - the service is always top notch and thorough! A gem on 5th Avenue!! read more

I went to several optics places before committing to a long commute to visit this place. This is the only place where I felt they took the time to provide attention to detail and to understand what I need. Highly recommend. read more

UPDATE: Team reached out and offered to give me new lenses based on my issues with the prescription. I don't have a major correction, but I need to wear glasses to work on a computer all day or I get migraines, dizzy, etc. It's a bummer. Glad to have an update on the reading glasses I bought with Milan and were thorough in figuring out how to correct the issue. Expensive learning lesson to make sure lenses/prescription are helpful (for each eye) instead of assuming it's an "adjustment period." -- Can't recommend based on the prescription: Had issues with glasses over the past year with headaches after getting exam at Milan. Went to an actual medical office and it turns out the script for my right eye makes it blurrier to see in the distance. Yikes. Previously, I've only worn glasses at the computer, so no wonder eyes have been tired and getting headaches! Also had a hard time getting the full prescription from them and never received the PD. I had to circle back to include the separate reading script. Will hard sell you on glasses as well. Glasses selection is pretty great if high for pricing. Spent several hundreds on one pair of reading glasses (frame and lenses with blue light filtering) at Milan. read more

This is my third pair of glasses from Milan Optique. Beyond their great selection, their team has a talent for selecting a shape that best suits your facial features. After wearing similar styles for years their team gave me new options to try- that I would have never thought of before. All my new glasses now suit my faceshape perfectly. I couldn't be more happy. read more

Outstanding service, great styles. This is the third pair that Tommy has helped me pick out. Grateful for the terrific shopping experience here. read more

I came to Milan Optique once and the eye doctor miswrote my glasses prescription. Unfortunately, I didn't figure it out until months after I used the prescription at Warby's and spent $500 on a new pair of glasses. Milan Optique swapped which eye had astigmatism. I wound up needing to buy another pair of glasses less than a year later, once I got the correct prescription from another eye doctor. Everyone make mistakes, but I will definitely not be a returning patient. read more

Dr is super friendly and up to date. Got fitted for glasses and contacts. His employees are helpful with insurance and thorough at explaining things. The contacts are a newer style and they allowed me to try a couple weeks worth before committing read more

Staff is extremely helpful. Tommy helped to fix and adjust glasses after they were no longer fitting comfortably due to issues with the nose pads and the misalignment of the frame. I recommend this shop for all your glasses needs. read more

Making an appoint for an eye exam was very easy and equipment is up to date. Received help picking out new frames and I have received lots of positive comments on the new look! Was very impressed overall, I made a change to Milan after years of getting glasses at another store and am very glad I did!!! read more

Been coming here since 2020. Tommy and Mei are so personable and so great ! Never going to another optician again !

Tommy is the best. Patient, attentive and sweet. Took the time to help us both find just the right frames and fit us to a tee. Highly recommend read more

The place felt so unsanitary to me, as well as not welcome. For example, this one lady that works there was putting her fingers in my eye, by the way she didn't wash her hands. Gross. Went there once won't be going again. Any advice is to order online or go somewhere else. :) read more

Live a couple of blocks from 5th Ave location. Have used Milan for a few years. During the pandemic, back and forth to the city for glasses was becoming a chore. Gave Milan a try for the convenience. What a good choice! Like service, atmosphere, staff- and - you are known by name! A nice little friendly gem in the neighborhood! read more

I'm one of those people who spends half of a day trying on every pair of frames until i find the perfect one(s) and I can't say enough good things about how patient, helpful and awesome the staff is here. I've been coming for 10 years and Vlad and his team are always so helpful and fun when it comes to trying on frames! I told Vlad I was going on a vacation and would love to have new prescription sunglasses in time and he got not only those, but my other two regular frames ready in TWO DAYS. They go above and beyond and make glasses shopping so much fun. Oh, and you get a bottle of wine with your glasses I mean COME ON read more

Very nice folks. I popped in for some small glasses nose pads that are very hard to find. They didn't have them but took the time to secure a too large one on the frame so I'm more comfortable. Thank you! Holly read more

This place has such a wide variety of quality frames and the hospitality is impeccable. Great service from the moment you enter to the time you leave, definitely my go to for prescriptions & non prescription lenses. Totally satisfied with all my purchases. This is my latest purchase. read more

Overall, the experience here was great! From picking out my new frames to getting my new contacts, the information they provided to me was very helpful and informative every step of the way. Thanks so much! read more

Had a Groupon (a great deal at this office that has blessed me 3 times now) for a contact lens and glasses exam. I saw Dr. Chen who was both thorough and efficient in his examination, answering all my questions with ease and making great recommendations for prescription adjustments. He lowered the power of my contacts (which were too high for years) to accommodate prolonged screen time and up-close reading. It's made a world of difference in just one day. The front of the house is a bit less organized and also a bit rush-y and curt during the check-in and check-out process, but nothing to keep me coming back. I appreciate Milan Optique for consistently making these services accessible for those without insurance coverage. read more

I highly recommend Milan Optique. I have been purchasing glasses both regular daytime and highly custom sunglasses for many years from this shop. Owner Vlad and consultants Tommy and Mei will work with you to find the perfect frame for your face that meets your budget and works with your insurance. The team goes above and beyond so that you leave with the perfect pair of glasses that meet your needs and budget. Again I highly recommend them, stop by, give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very good prices for high quality glasses Tommy is very nice guy. Great selection . Highly recommended I love my new glasses read more

I hate hate hated this place. I was truly hoping to find a local business to support, so was looking forward to coming here, but almost everything was off from the very start. When the optometrist complains about how dirty the equipment is, that's a bad sign. But it was the sales clerks that were the worst. They got almost every aspect of my insurance benefits wrong, and failed to correct it. Luckily I was able to get reimbursed directly from my insurer, because Milan refused to do it. They also straight up misrepresented options available to me, and gave very bad advice about types of lenses. I do not trust anything about this place, and urge extreme caution. I note that, based on other reviews, this seems to be a pattern, and they often blame the customer or how complicated insurance benefits are. Well, maybe you should take your time and figure it out, because THATS YOUR JOB. read more

excellent customer service affordable contact prices friendly too i love them park slope rocks read more

I have some eye problems and walked in needing new glasses contacts and an eye exam and the team at Milan really did a great job of taking care of all my optical needs. From the eye doctor who was very thorough and detailed about what I need and how to care for my eyes to Vlad the rockstar optometrist who was super patient and honest and left me feeling really happy with my purchases. He Also gave me an amazing deal! I am now a customer for life thank you guys!! read more

I've been delighted with the great sales and service staff at Milan Optique - and I'm especially appreciative of the help Mei gave me. More than a year ago I purchased two pairs of eyeglasses at Milan Optique. Recently, I broke one of them. I now live in Virginia, but Mei let me know that despite the distance they would be happy to repair them! How pleased I was to find out that they really stand behind the products they sell. I highly recommend this great small business! read more

My partner had been going to Milan Optique for years and everyone was always so welcoming, helpful and professional that I knew I wanted to go there when I needed a new prescription. Dr. Kravchenko was kind and informative. Tommy and Mei guided me in trying so many pairs of glasses until I found a pair that was just what I wanted, all the while giving great feedback. Throughout, long-term customers were coming in and there was a feeling of a neighborhood gem where people enjoyed stopping by. I was amazed when my new glasses were ready in just six days! I returned for an adjustment after I had worn them for a few days, and Tommy was super friendly and helpful. All-around the best optometrist I've been to! read more

Love this place! Have had trouble finding a place that makes a decent pair of progressive lens glasses, and these guys know what they are doing. Tommy is extremely thorough at making sure the lenses are the correct fit. Most other places do quick cursory measurements, but Tommy took a gazillion measurements and triple-checked everything before sending it off. Will definitely only be using them for all my future glasses. read more

My review is a little late. Vlad is the best. His team is amazing as well. I got my first pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses from them a couple of years ago. They are still like new. I wanted to get a new pair of sunglasses recently and Vlad really knocked it out of the park. My new sunglasses look really nice. They are always a challenge due to my eye prescription, but Vlad makes them look as if they were straight from the manufacturer. He loves what he does and takes pride in his work. Can never go wrong here. As long as I live in New York, I am never going anywhere else. read more

The people here are so nice and the customer service was amazing they need to get a tip jar

Can't believe I didn't leave a review the first time I came here. I had such a good experience 2 years ago when I bought my glasses. Extremely helpful staff that really helped me get a pair of glasses I was happy with and suited my very specific lenses. Spent time with me when I couldn't make a decision, listened to me and made such good recommendations. I just came back again and the awesome staff came through again and I once again left happy and feeling good about my glasses. read more

Tommy at Milan Optique made what would normally be a difficult process (choosing new eyeglasses frames) a piece of cake. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, easygoing and friendly, and I'm so happy that I came here to purchase my new pair. I can't wait to receive my new frames! read more

I came into the office without an appointment because my contact had been stuck behind my eyelid for several hours. The doctor was incredibly accommodating and saw me immediately and was able to remove the contact. I highly recommend this office! Incredibly kind and generous! read more

My husband has had such a wonderful experience here. The owner Clad helped him and he's really happy with not only his original purchase but ongoing customer support, as we have two toddlers and his glasses take a beating. Thank you! read more

This place needs to work on their customer service skills. I will not be booking an eye exam here. I came in and asked the Asian girl with light pink hair and glasses who was sitting at the front desk how much an eye exam for contact lenses for astigmatism is and how much a box of the biweekly Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism is. The girl told me the price of the contacts with a nasty attitude like she was in a bad mood. I got mad and called the supervisor on the phone and told the supervisor over the phone no one cares whether a person has a bad day or not. They should just call out from the job if they don't want to come to work. Eye care is expensive and this is a doctor's office everyone really needs to be professional. read more
