    I have been coming here for a few years now for my eye exams and glasses. The staff here is really friendly and they speak to me in Cantonese or English. The doctor here that does the exam is really nice and tries to make you laugh during the exams. The only bad thing about this place is that the glasses can be very expensive but that is about it. If you ever need your glasses tightened or adjusted; they can do it here for free.

    Worst place that I had ever experienced. Don't understand why they have so many stars? When i first asked them "do you have the contact lens product I want" , they will say yes yes yes yes yes. I told them the eyes check is free cos it will be covered by my insurance after they see my insurance card? WHEN come to the payment, they changed their words and said the insurance is only cover for glasses??? I have to pay for the eyes check ??? Then they push me to buy more expensive product, telling me the product I requested from the first time is already an old model PROCLEAR 1 DAY MULTI FOCAL is not good ??? The conclusion about the product i actually wanted were not in their stock at all ??? So wth they first said yes yes yes and pushed to go for the eyes check? Wasting my time !!! The best part - I have to pay the eyes check though they are giving me a package fee with discount??? When i asked for the detail of the summary??? Forever I couldn't reach the amount of their calculation as they have their own mathematic I guess??? This shop is - ALL THE BS!!!

    We went to check my eyes and get a new frame , Jack is super cute and supper helpful . He was very patient since we ask to try 100 diff frames from him!

    Good selection of glasses within Chinatown area. We made our glasses here every year. Friendly staff and quick services.

    Worst experience ever. Would not let me return my glasses even though I came in person in less than 10 days. Horrible, horrible experience.

Stopped by after work (super grateful they have time slots for 6pm)- Dr. Stoica was very professional and personable, and took time to explain how my eyes are doing. She provided me with a referral to another specialist who could help me with an eye condition that's been on the horizon (like that hazy little house you see during the eye exam...!), so will hit them up next on my journey to not so terrible vision. Just great customer service across the board- if you're looking for an optometrist/glasses/contact lenses/a vision test for the DMV so they stop sending you guilt inducing reminder emails, look no further.

    It took me two months of searching a variety of different locations before I found Westway, and I'd…read moredo it again to find such a wonderful, openminded, professional, friendly, and welcoming boutique shop. I was given no hassle when I arrived with a script in hand and only needing glasses. They were the only shop from my multi-month search that had even one pair I was willing to consider wearing for the next year, let alone the three I found. The prices are great. Even if you were paying out of pocket, Westway prices things reasonably. Their OOP price for the glasses (with lens treatment add-ons) I chose was equal to what I've paid at other places after all the insurance coverages and discounts were calculated. Oscar never once pressured me with an upsell to get a second pair of glasses or sunglasses, and he gave really solid recommendations after quickly catching on to my sense of style. And my finished glasses were ready in less than a week! As if that weren't enough, Oscar effortlessly passed the test I do every time I shop for glasses. I go to the women's section first. I wait for someone to redirect me to the men's section. I say something like, "You never know what you'll find...", and I await their response. Oscar's? "Ok!" And he chilled behind the counter until I was ready. Many thanks to the team at Westway for nurturing such an inclusive and safe medical and retail environment. Spread the word, consider bringing them your business, and help keep this gem serving customers for years and years to come.

    Friendly, and affordable. I called to make an appointment,…read moreI got one for the next day. I was out of there within 30 mins with a full exam, and bought a pair of glasses that will be delivered between, 6-10 days. No complaints here.

And to this…read moreday, I feel privileged and very grateful to work with Dr. Soto and Dr. Pekarsky (whose father was my doctor back in the day) and the whole team, Paul, Stephany, Nadia, and Adam. If you need glasses and can get to this part of Manhattan, the only place to be a patient and a client is Kips Bay Optical. From the truly evaluative, real time spent, thorough, thoughtful, and all questions answered you leave with no stress or agita (Italian for heartburn and anxiety) appointments with Dr. Soto, to the honest recommendations regarding vision insurance (because not everyone's policy includes that (ahem, Anthem)), to the wide ranging in styles and price choice of frames, it is truly a pleasure to be a patient at Kips Bay Optical. Let it be said that eyeglasses, like jewelry, is an emotional purchase. When my prescription changed and I needed to get new near-sighted lenses, Paul and Stephany were as patient and honest with me as the best bespoke personal shoppers as I tried on easily 20 pair. I trust them in the same ways I trust Drs. Soto and Pekarsky. My trust began in 2008 and has only increased over time.

    We have been going to this shop for our glasses for a while and they always did a good job until…read morethe last time. They got both our prescription wrong and both the hubby and I had subsequent headaches - as a migraine sufferer, this is not good. Will we go back, probably not.
