Shine Optique has consistently provided excellent service over the years. I first went to Shine before the pandemic, just for eye exams, and remember enjoying the experience. I have since moved across the country and recently moved back to NYC. In need of another eye exam, I returned unsure of what the experience might be like (because customer service in general has drastically declined). I called to double check they accepted my insurance and was able to make an appointment the next day. When I arrived, they promptly got me checked in. The doctor had great bedside manners and felt friendly, but moved things along. Because I didn't have many problems, I was able to get in and out in around 15 minutes, and the exam still felt thorough. They also checked the prescription on my (old old old) reading glasses and replaced the lenses in about two days. I got a text when they were ready for pickup. AND, they repaired my bent sunglasses and tightened the screws FOR FREE. All in all, this is exactly the type of ideal healthcare experience. I felt like I got my money's worth and I will be back for my next eye exam. read more

Amazing staff and great team. Did a phenomenal job at explaining why my eyes were hurting and gave a full detail of the results. Also their transitions on their frames! Definitely great staff. read more

So wonderful! I booked my appointment a day before, I was in and out in 20 minutes. The front desk associate was so helpful and attentive as was the optometrist. He was so involved and asked me many times if I had any questions and when I did he explained them to me in detail so I could understand. Will definitely be going back. read more

Do not buy at Shine Optique!!! I was promised a 30-day trial, but when the glasses didn't work, I was told almost everything I paid was non-refundable and offered only a minimal credit. It was clear from the start that I need both near and distance correction, yet I was pushed to buy glasses that weren't right for my vision. This felt misleading and unfair. I don't recommend buying glasses there. read more

everything went well . it was a breeze and the people working there were nice and knowledgeable .

I was experiencing problems with lenses made by a different vendor, using Shine's prescription. Jenny comprehensively examined the lenses and diagnosed the problem. She went out of her way to help me get the right products, and spent quite a bit of time in the process. I'm grateful read more

We were able to get my husband glasses in less than an hour!! Saved our vacation. Thank you for your quick work.

Perry, Erika and Dr. Ken all amazing.... Beautiful frames and wide selection, A range of prices... Really cool stuff. The staff here is really nice and the prices are reasonable for what it is... They will not try to rip you off with add-ons, I saved so much money here after switching from Luxeye down the street. Very highly recommend them and they take most insurance too! read more

Truly exceptional staff! And a great selection of sunglasses!

I needed to get a new eye prescription and this location was very close to my house. The receptionist was very polite and helpful, and the Doctor (unfortunately I don't remember his name) was very patient and helpful as well, he effectively responded to all of my questions and gave me new contacts to try it on. Definitely will be coming back again. read more

Shine Optique - Contacts for me to try - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love this place. The staff is super friendly, and the doctor is like an eye wiz. I felt like he knew me in another life. He told me all the things I possibly could have experienced with my eyesight and I felt like I wasn't crazy for the first time. I always try to explain to people how I see and they just kind of think I'm being dramatic. But I came here for my eye test done, and purchased new glasses that came in five days. And for someone with astigmatism in both eyes that's really quick. I'm so used to it being about two weeks I was shocked. My grams are gorgeous and cheap the store is definitely my go to now. Thank you! read more

Stopped in while window shopping the area and ended up walking out with my first pair of prescription frames. The staff was extremely helpful, helped me find my vision insurance info an got me an appointment with the onsite eye doctor on the spot. I will definitely be back next time I am in New York and really enjoyed the customer service/experience. read more

Shine Optique - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a great and thorough eye exam here and I liked their optometrist a lot. They replaced the lenses in my glasses and very graciously set me up with blue lenses after my initial order left that off. The owner and the whole staff are extremely helpful and I encourage everyone to support their business. They also have a really good selection of frames! read more

Great service but expensive contacts. Very knowledgeable optometrist and front desk. High end sunglass options. My Annual contacts cost over $300 more here compared to last year's purchase. Shine Optique charges $55 per 30 day supply for my contacts brand. When you order a 12 month supply the give you the 13th month free. LensCrafters charges a net $40 for the same product when you order a 12 month supply. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for a while now... I stayed in New York with friends before our big Euro Trip and at the very last minute I find out that my eye insurance is expiring in just a few days and I have hundreds of dollars that I need to use up. I frantically placed an order to 1800Contacts to get some new contacts but my prescription expired a week before! I looked up a few different places, many of them were booked for the day but Luxeye was more than happy to book an appointment. I got there and was immediately greeted by two friendly people at the front desk who quickly took my measurements. Dr. Kenneth came out, greeted me with a smile and a handshake and took me in to check out my eyes. After a few tests, it turns out my prescription on my left eye was just a little different so he had to give me a few contacts to test out. This is the best, most exceptional part: The normal procedure is that he gives me about a week's worth of contacts to test out first before writing an official prescription. Given my situation (the expired prescription, the about to be expired insurance, and the 3 week Euro trip) he makes an exception to write me an official prescription since my numbers only changed very little so that I can place my order for an obscene amount of contacts, gives me 2.5 weeks worth of new contacts (he gave me all he had left) because of my trip since I wouldn't have access to new contacts until I got home, and tells me that if anything goes wrong to email him or call him to discuss. He took the time and sat with me to discuss all things eye-related. What was happening, why it was happening, etc. I never felt rushed for time or judged (my eyes are pretty bad). The entire time the experience was incredibly friendly and comfortable. My friend came in later to get his glasses adjusted and apparently the guy who helped him was 1. excited to do this for him for free and 2. apparently did it in a very fancy way because my friend was very impressed and wouldn't stop talking about how exact and perfect the guy was. Also, they gave us new lens wipes which were very very helpful for the trip :) I highly recommend this place! Dr. Kenneth, if you're reading this... come to San Francisco and bring your entire staff! read more

Exactly what you want from an optical shop! Things i love most about this place: -Super friendly, helpful staff who don't rush you. -No one ever tried to sell me anything else but the frame and lenses, unlike every other place i've been that's forced anti-glare, etc., on me. If you don't need it, these guys won't recommend it. -I had an issue after i wore my glasses for a while that no one could have foreseen. I waited a few weeks before going in but i was so glad i did because they fixed my problem immediately without any extra cost to me, which was HUGE. -your glasses will be ready in no time! Quickest turnaround of any place i've been. -optometrist is thorough and friendly. I also brought a friend in to get an exam and get lenses put into her old frame and since she lives a while away from the shop, they turned around her glasses in 45 minutes! Thanks Carmen and the rest of the staff! read more

Had a great experience here. Got a pair of prescription sunglasses and the staff was so helpful! My face is narrow and it can be hard to find frames that fit me in the styles I like. The woman helping was so awesome. Will definitely come back here for regular glasses. I wear glasses all the time so finding the perfect frames is really important to me. read more

I have been searching for a pair of yellow tinted ray-bans for so long. They didn't have them in stock but they offered to make them for me and they waived the extra charge for making custom lenses. Absolutely awesome customer service experience and a great place to get glasses. Also the glasses customization is done on site and took less than an hour which was perfect for the time friend that I had for that day. read more

Professional experience. The staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. Definitely will return

I get my eye exam and contacts here. They always are very efficient but make sure you are comfortable with the service.

This store has such a current and trendy selection of glasses and sunglasses. I got my regular glasses here and I really love them. I just brought some friends from out of town in to get sunglasses and they got a pair. I got another pair of sunglasses today too. Their options are high quality, classy and still trendy. I'm a really big fan. read more

I was visiting from Austria and I had some pain in my eye so I decided to stop in to Luxeye and see if they could help. Thankfully Dr. Ken Warburton was there and he was able to check out my eye, write me a prescription for some eye drops and offer me a coupon so that I didn't have to spend a fortune on the drops. He also followed up to make sure it was better the next day. Such amazing service! He really went above and beyond and I appreciated it so much. read more

Walked in, got an exam and the perfect pair of frames all in the same day. Great selection, though pricey. The service is great and attentive. I'm so excited for my new specs! read more

Kind and friendly staff. They repaired and reshaped my sunglasses (that I didn't buy from them) for free! Highly recommended

This review is long overdue for the friendliest, knowledgeable and coolest staff at Luxeye Optical. Everyone from Dr. Kenneth the optometrist, Carmen at the front counter with her awesome smile and Tony one of the sweetest managers will make your sunglasses shopping experience a bliss. They carry their own glasses brands called Brooklyn Spectacles and they are super refine and funky at the same time. Scott their Marketing sales Manager ensured to keep the latest, fashionable and practical frames. They also carry progressive lenses, prescription along with the latest RayBans aviators. So enjoy the sun but protect your eyes with the beautiful sunglasses at Luxeye Optical. They also have the cutest tiniest frames for children in different lovely colors and styles. My friend took her 5 year old son and he got a very durable pair and every time they need to get adjusted the staff is so welcoming and graceful to fix them. read more

See all

It's an incredible and somewhat rare experience to call a doctor's office and hear a friendly voice. Tada, welcome to Luxeye. The front of house employees are great about helping you track down insurance discounts and scheduling last-minute appointments. (Plus, they're open relatively late.) I also stopped in with two pairs of Warby Parker glasses on a busy Sunday and they fit them for zero cost (and no eye rolling). I wouldn't take my corneas anywhere else. read more

Very spendy and all the product is on lock down (I happen to like to pick up glasses and try them out w/o having to get the sales help to unlock the items). Other than those minor gripes, they have a well curated selection of top quality designer frames and attentive service. read more

I bought a pair of prescription sunglasses here yesterday. Jenny was so sweet and helpful. They have a pretty decent selection of quality and designer glasses. After comparing their prices to Eyeco down the street, Luxeye has WAY better prices :) read more

The service was really good. People work there were really nice, made me feel comfortable. Price is normal. My prescription is high so my lenses are expensive. Wish the frames could have been cheaper though. read more

Professional. I went just for the exam and there was no pressure to buy frames afterwards. Eye exam was thorough and Dr Leong took the time to answer questions. Definitely felt I was in good hands the whole time. read more

Place is really nice. Good selection of frames and sunglasses and pretty fast turn around on the lenses. My only gripe about the place is that you have to ask for help to look at frames, sometimes i like to just walk around trying different ones on without having to ask someone to open each case. read more

Simply the best and most efficient eye/sunglasses store in Williamsburg. The staff is super nice, the choices of glasses is ridiculous and they are fast, nice and very helpful. if you re in search of a new pair of glasses do not go anywhere else. i have been buying many many glasses from them and will not stop to do so. Great people, Great store. read more

Luxeye is a good optical/glasses shop in the williamsburg area. I've had my eye exam, as well as bought all my recent glasses at Luxeye. They've been helpful and really cool about making changes to customize the frames/lenses till I was satisfied with the look. It is on the pricey side but they have hip/stylish/quality frames and look for sales. I got mine at 20% off, as all the sunglasses in the store were on sale! read more

They were super helpful and I left with a great pair of sunglasses. Way better experience than going to Sunglass Hut. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I have been getting my glasses at this store for over 10 years. The service is wonderful, the staff is always friendly and helpful. By far my one and only choice for prescription eyewear. read more

This place is amazing! Friendly service, tons of options, and they're very patient. Definitely will continue to buy glasses and sunglasses here. read more

Shine Optique reshaped my glasses for free even though I did not purchase it from there. Staff was incredibly helpful. 10/10 Would recommend for any glasses servicing. read more

Wouldn't recommend coming here for an eye exam -- I had an appointment with Dr. Lam last year and it was less than stellar. I've had glasses/contacts most of my life and know what a detailed eye exam should be -- this was not it. The entire exam took about 7 mins (including the contact lens fitting), she said about 2 sentences to me, and I walked away wondering what she may have missed. read more

I have been to both locations on Bedford for contacts and new glasses prescription. They are wonderful people. Tracy, who works at both is the friendliest and most helpful person. She remembers customers even if it's been a year. All the staff are great. read more

This is my go-to for eye care! Everyone at all the locations are so lovely, helpful and THOROUGH. I've been going there for years for contacts and eye exams. read more
