Customer service is awesome. Very knowledgeable. Had a very specialized prescription and they were able to handle it in a timely manner. Great ownership read more

I needed a new pair of glasses, and the experience here was great. The owner of the store is very knowledgeable about everything and even picked out a frame that I loved. The store itself is also very cozy. After the order, I didn't have to wait long to be able to pick up the glasses. read more

The people who run this place are absolutely wonderful!!! Heart of gold who helped some Texans with little kids.

I got my glasses at See World Optics and Drew found me the perfect frame that I loved so much. In a mosh pit at a concert, my glasses fell out of my pocket, and the frame got bent all out of shape. I was so disappointed but I went back to See World, excepting maybe a new frame similar but not quite the exact same. Lo and behold, Drew was able to fix my original frame, reinstall the popped out lenses, and make it look good as new. See World is where you should go to find new glasses, because it comes with the security that even if a frame looks broken beyond repair, Drew might be able to resurrect it. Highly recommend! read more

I first came to Drew seeking help repairing a pair of glasses that snapped in half. These are very unique glasses that I love too much to just hand them off to anybody to attempt a repair. But from the first couple of minutes I spent in his shop, I could tell he was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about optometry, a lot more than anybody I went to in the past. He knew exactly how the glasses broke even when I didn't, and gave me advice on how to prevent that from happening in the future. I was so amazed by his knowledge that when I ended up needing help with another pair of glasses, I also left another frame with him to put my prescription in. He did an AMAZING job, these were the clearest I've ever seen from my glasses. And did it a lot faster than any other place I went to in the past Drew is definitely one of those people that when you meet him, you will only want to return to him. I just ordered 2 more sunglasses, and the first thing I'm doing when they arrive is bringing them to Drew to put my prescription in. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

I was so happy, I went back for a spare and sunglasses. !! Great Service and prices ! I highly recommend See World Optics ! read more

I brought my elderly aunt here because her usual place had closed. She needed a rather unusual pair of glasses after a bad fall and Drew was fantastic. He had her try different scenarios to be sure she would be happy with the result. We picked up her glasses yesterday and she's thrilled, and the price was great. I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

I had a pleasant experience at See World Optics. The store manager and associate were very polite. I called ahead to make an appointment to get the DMV vision test. I scheduled an appointment over the phone in 1-2-3 and visited the following week for my appointment. Upon entering I was greeted and taken care of right away. The store has a nice set up, as a landmark it is in the same set of stores as Subway. There is parking in the rear. If you're shopping for glasses I am sure you will find a frame perfect for you. I observed them helping another woman picking out frames, they were very patient and offered suggestions on which shape would fit best. read more

I'm a bit late on writing this review but Drew was awesome , he helped repair eyewear frame which was broken. I would visit again and highly recommend him to friends n family! "Orkin guy" read more

Drew was the best! Such a lovely energy to be around. He was able to replace my frame and switch out my lenses in an instant! I would definitely recommend this business for simple/complex eyeglass repair or to try something different! Thanks again Drew! read more

My titanium rimless glasses snapped right in front of the hinge but I was able to get it repaired professionally by Drew! He recognized that both arms were already damaged and helped me replace them with a similar titanium frame for a great price. The store even has a convenient parking lot in the back. Highly recommended! read more

Drew is so nice and helpful! He was able to easily fixed my glasses and they look good as new!

I had the pleasure of meeting Drew, the owner of See World Optics shortly before closing time on a Saturday. I brought to him my eyeglasses with two replacement tension side arms that I had been unsuccessful to attaching even one after 3 hours of trying. In spite of having several orders to get out, he put them aside to help me. He went to work on them, telling me that I didn't possess the proper fine tools for doing the job on my own, while also noting that I had bent the pin of the replacement side arm that I had spent so much time in frustration trying to attach. Nevertheless, he attached both frames in about 15 minutes. Drew came from his work area and handed me my eyeglasses with the two new attached replacement arms and the left side pin straightened out. I was going to place them back into my case, but Drew said try them out, if they needed any adjustments. I did and they fit perfectly. I was so happy. Drew, noting that the eyeglasses were well worn suggested that I use these as a spare and start with a new pair. He then said that if I wanted the same type of eyeglasses, he was able to read the lens prescription off of my repaired glasses and then to my amazement, - just like that he produced a duplicate eyeglass frame to mine from his counter that he could make the lenses for, when I was ready. Drew was experienced, skilled, courteous and I was able to have a very enjoyable conversation with him while he was attending to my eyeglasses P.S. Read the real positive reviews like mine, and not the planted 1 star ones that I suspect were from his competitors. I detected as such and bypassed those in my own search for a quality shop. Thank you again, Drew. read more

I have been a customer of Drew's for at least 20 years. I have been wearing glasses since age 5. I spent years wearing glasses that were thick (binocular width), heavy and improper for my prescription and face. Then I was referred to Drew. He has continually crafted glasses for me that have been comfortable, attractive and precisely vision corrective. On top of that, I sometimes feel I am in an episode of "Cheers" when I walk in and get greeted by him. Can't say enough good stuff about Drew and his craftmanship. read more

The proprietor is a jerk, on top of doing bad work. I dropped off my glasses to get new prescription lenses put in, the lenses themselves (that he made) were really screwed up, not even usable, and after calling to politely ask about it, he immediately started yelling over the phone. Was further irritated when I went back to ask him to correct his job. In the end I just threw out the lenses. Needs a major lesson in customer service. Won't be going here again as there are tons of optometrists on LI that do good work and have good customer service. read more

Drew is amazing! Super friendly, experienced, and helpful. My glasses were crooked and I went to another place and they totally broke. Then I went to Drew with the broken glasses and he was able fixed them. Now they are good as new! read more

WOW WOW WOW There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not stopped to ask where I got my frames. Originally I was going for something simple and neutral. I tired On so many styles and Drew kept guiding me towards these stylish cat eye frames. Although they are bold and dynamic I trusted him. Drew is a real professional. He knows his business. He has a wonderful selection and he makes you feel very comfortable. He's enthusiastic about his business and it shows. I read all his reviews before I decided To take the ride from Oceanside. I had purchased some frames from the internet that were kind of junky and ill fitting and I really just needed to try on frames and have someone who knows what they are doing assist me. I have since been back and purchased several more frames. Each pair of glasses are unique and stylish. I wear progressives and Drew does a perfect job. They always fit properly and most importantly my vision is perfect when I wear them. If you are looking for a great optician you will find him in Drew. He's a pleasure to know and he really cares. read more

Drew is a super nice and carying professional gentleman who took a lot of his valuable time to fix my eyeglasses. He has a great selection and great prices too. I highly recommend his services and will recommend him to all my friends and family. I am super happy with my glasses. read more

I love antique eyeglasses. By antique I mean the mid 1800s. I recently had lenses made for my coin silver frames here in San Francisco. Unfortunately one of the rivets holding the temple in place almost fell out. No optician or jeweler here in San Francisco would touch them. I used the internet to find an optician who would work with antique frames. I emailed See World some photos and hoped for the best. Drew called me back and took on the challenge. Mailing my glasses was actually easier and cheaper than a trip into the city. A week after mailing them I had an expert repair done (at a reasonable price) and my glasses are better than before. See World Optics is the place for specialized eyewear work. read more

See World Optics - Antique frames after repair by See World Optics. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

I searched by reviews on Yelp. Liked it because every review had a personal touch mentioning Drew. I called ahead for an appt yesterday, Drew the proprietor was very helpful and accommodating to my schedule for this afternoon. He explained the fees for the exam as well as a a bit about his experience in the business. Drew explained he crafts the lenses himself on site, which is unusual these days. Met Drew and was introduced to Dr. Sigman, he runs his practice separate from the store. He was quite detailed in making sure he asked all the questions to know about my vision and changes since my last check up. Shared with him about the issues I'm having. Ran all the usual tests. Told me which solutions to use with the new contacts I'm getting, never knew some are compatible while others are not. After I completed my exam, Drew and I chatted for a few. A quick note on UV eyewear. Will be back to pick up my contacts next week. I'm very pleased with the service thus far. Hopefully we will develop a life long relationship. read more

Another place bent my glasses and bent the hinge in the process. This place did a better and more thorough job by replacing the hinge. The owner, Drew, specializes in repair and worked a miracle with my frame. Excellent care and service!! read more

Drew is amazing !! I found this eyeglasses store from my fellow Yelpers and I'm nothing short of satisfied. The optician, Drew, was able to help me with both pairs of my glasses while also dropping a few gems on caring from my frames. It seems to be a family owned business and I definitely felt welcomed. Highly recommend! read more

It's very rare that you come across someone who is truly an expert in their field! I had broken my most favorite pair of sunglasses and was told by many "experts" that they were beyond repair and there was a 80% chance that they would completely break while trying to fix them! I opted to search for an expert online and found Drew! He was able to fix them to look almost brand new!! He truly knows what he's doing. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he's pleasant to work with, has a very quick turnaround time and his prices are very reasonable! If you're ever in need of anything having to do with glasses, he's your man! read more

Truly meant to write this a WHILE ago but I forgot!! I was looking at the glasses he fixed for me the other day and was reminded of what an amazing job he did. My puppy decided to chew on my glasses while she was teething and she ended up removing a nosepad and almost removing both temples + damaging the temple tips. Drew was able to completely fix it at an extremely reasonable cost! 100000000000%+ recommend! read more

Drew, the owner, is a great guy, he fixed my glasses when they were broken at a great price. I highly recommend going here for any glasses needs. read more

I was searching for an eye glass store or an eye doctor that accepts Davis Vision and I came across this place because it was walking distance from my place. This place has been around for 30 years and when I called, Drew, the owner was pleasant and very knowledgeable. Dr. Sigman is only in this location on Wednesdays so Drew scheduled me to come in on a Wednesday. When I arrived I brought my four pairs of glasses, had an eye exam and had contact lenses examination and fitting. Both Drew and Dr. Sigman worked with me in getting the best deal possible with my insurance. My glasses were a mess, so I got anti-glare lenses replaced on one pair. I had to come back the following week to pick my contact lenses and glasses. When I picked them up, my glasses were cleaned and it felt new. As a result, I dropped off my second of pair of glasses with transitional lenses to get cleaned. My husband came in and Drew saw that he had a missing nose piece so at no cost he repaired it. Plus, Drew will call to inform the customer that their glasses/lenses are ready for pick up. I'll definitely be back next week to pick up my second pair and explore options for new frames down the road. Great neighborhood gem with excellent service. read more

The arm of my daughter's glasses came off because of a broken hinge. When Drew first took a look at the problem, he said no problem to fix it. But on closer inspection when he sat down to fix it, he discovered it would be a more involved process. This certain type of hinge is difficult to find unless you get a new frame or if the hinge is custom-made. Drew took the time to custom-make the hinge and now it is like new. For personalized and expert service, go to Drew. Drew is a man of his word. read more

Best place to come if you need a repair done on your glasses. I brought my Louis Vuitton sunglasses here to get the frame repaired and I was more than happy with the results as well as the price to repair. The owner sincerely cares about his customers and I can confidently say he took his time and finished the job better than anyone else could have. If you need any type of repair I would highly suggest coming to this place for it! read more

See World Optics - Can hardly notice the repair - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - New Hyde Park, New York

Drew has done my glasses since the late 80s. I always follow his suggestions for frames, as well as for type of lenses and 'extras' such as scratch coating, and color for sunglasses. I have always been happy! I hadn't been to the store for a few years, as my prescription hadn't changed at all.....but I returned today. I needed new regular glasses, sunglasses, and also needed the lenses changed in my old glasses for a 'backup' pair'. Firstly, it was great to see him. Secondly, he helped me pick out new frames that I love (both for 'regular' and sunglasses) and gave me fair prices for everything. He has a great selection and a great sense of what will work best. I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else. Can't wait to pick up my new glasses! read more

I was so happy I came here. Called See World because my bf glasses broke - he had antique style. Spoke to Drew over the phone. He was so friendly and willing to help, even told us how to get there from Brooklyn and mentioned not to run the yellow lights on your way there cuz they were rigged (hehe). He has every sort of frame listed. He got this down packed to a science. Frames from the 70's, 80's, 90's, frames made in Germany, India , as well as plastic and metal frames (real gold frames too). It was a great experience. We came out purchasing another frame and he ordered new lenses for the one we wanted to be repaired. I'll never mind running those yellow lights to come back to See World Optics. Well worth it. A+++++++ read more

Drew has done it again. I now live in Portland Oregon. After groggily leaving home in the wee-hours of morning, I headed up to Bremerton, Washington (a 3.5 hr drive) for the sake of a Roller Derby tournament. It was with utter horror that I realized upon arriving at my first game of the day that I'd left my contact lenses at home. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it through the day wearing my stylish chunky plastic glasses (from See World naturally) and that I'd be a danger to all on the track if I skated blind. I called Drew in a panic to see if he could get my lens prescription up to a local shop in hopes of being fitted-on-the-fly with new lenses. Though See World is always busy on a Saturday, he took time out to make it happen. Unbelievable! See World really is the best, and I appreciate it just as much even living on the other side of the country. read more

I found See World on my Droid and was very happy I did. The reviews were excellent and were true. Drew helped me fix a pair of vintage sunglasses that were my grandfathers. No one else would touch them, but Drew took the time with me and the glasses, they feel and look like new. Thank you thank you thank you! 5 Stars ***** read more

I don't really write many reviews, but I feel like I would be doing everyone a great disservice if I didn't write one for Drew and Seeworld. I had the good fortune of finding Seeworld by accident through an online search, and I am SO glad I did. I was tired of going to the big stores like Pearle Vision and getting ripped off and treated like cattle. There aren't enough good things I can say about Drew and his business. Drew isn't looking to make a quick buck off of every person that comes in. He is the type of professional that focuses more on making a customer for life, treating us more like family and friends rather than customers. When I lost my glasses recently, I went to Seeworld (called Drew and he told me to come right in!) and he made sure that I purchased quality glasses at a very good price. No upselling, nothing. He was more concerned with making sure I was happy with the fit and look of my glasses, and jumped through hoops to make sure I got them as fast as possible......he made me one backup pair on the spot so that I would at least have something and not drive around like Mr. Magoo, and my main pair was ready in less than 24 hours! He is friendly, patient, professional, and VERY honest, which is a rarity nowadays. He has gone above and beyond for me every single time I've visited him, providing a world class level of customer service that in my experience is unmatched by far. His "bedside manner" is absolutely unparalleled and I would highly recommend him to anyone without any sort of reservation. Just go there once and you'll see what I mean! As long as Seeworld is in business and I need glasses, there is absolutely nowhere else I would go for, hands down. - George read more

My prescription sunglasses broke last week. I went to the place I purchased them and from 15 feet away, the optician says, "They're broken, (thanks Einstein) you need to get a new pair." Then I found Drew at See World Optics. He assured me he could fix the glasses and they would be just like new. He kept his word and I had my glasses back within 24 hours. Job completed for a very reasonable price Thank you! read more

Drew is a God send! He truly cares about his craft. My 3 sisters, myself and my mother have been going to See Works Optics and seeing Drew for over 20 years! And not 1 thing has changed about this man or his quality of service read more

I saw all the good reviews and I decided to check out this place. My glasses were loose on me and they were able to repair it . Drew took his time to educate me about glasses and how the prescription needs to be tested carefully do the individual . I always shop online for my glasses and he took his time to exam my glasses. I will definitely we coming here for my glasses no more online for me !!!! read more

I went today for the first time after reading all the yelp reviews. I have to say that I'm beyond excited for listening to everyone's reviews. Drew is an outstanding individual. He's in knowledgeable, friendly and extremely welcoming. I was looking for sport goggles for my son and he provided us with all the help we needed. I recommend this place and will definitely come back from now on. read more

I've had issues with other eyeglass stores that had me go home with the wrong prescription and prescribed me expensive contacts. So I made sure I looked at many eyeglass stores, read the reviews, and looked up the doctor's education and experience. I finally decided to go with See Wold and I was so pleased with Dr. Sigman and the owner Drew. They truly took the time to explain everything about my eyes and didn't rush me or brush off any questions I had. They guided me through what lenses and contacts I needed and didn't try to upsell me anything I didn't need. Plus, they sent me home with lots of free contact solution and after Drew saw my glasses case my dog chewed they gave me a free case! So happy with this place, thank you both for all your help :) * note: I went during covid and they cleaned everything thouroughly after each person and spaced out customers in the store. read more
