They are the best. You definitely get what you pay for. All can the doctors I have seen are very attentive and they always suggest all the services they have. They check for everything. The location in the city is very convenient and the staff are absolutely professional read more

just stopped in to studio optix. I have a pair of chanel sunglasses that I bought somewhere else, and month in, one of the arms is wiggly! I happened to have the glasses on me when i walked by, so I decided to stop in and see if they could help me. the lady at the front desk was super friendly, and said yes that's no problem! before she was finished the guy at the first station was already coming over to help. of course they can't take responsibility for issues that occur on products they don't sell, but I was willing to take my chance on tightening a screw. :) I was in and out in maybe 2 minutes, all smiles and sures and no problems the entire time. if I had a need for actual optometry I would come here for sure. read more

Dr. Mitch Cassel has been running this place for a long time, and there is a reason that he is a celebrity "go-to," along with a local favorite. Don't be fooled into thinking this is simply an eyeglass store. They have professional grade equipment. My entire family has been going here for their full eye care (contacts, eyeglasses, etc). We are treated like royalty. Special thanks to Adam Cassel who is extremely professional and helpful. This is our "eye home" in this world. Thank you Studio Optix! read more

I was working with them from out of town. I had a smooth experience, very professional and a lot of attention to detail! Their glasses are so unique! Definitely worth a "peek"!!! read more

We were referred here by a friend when we lived in NYC and loved it so much that we make a point to visit for our annual eye exams --even though we live in Chicago. Over the years, we have seen Dr Mitch, Dr Sarah and Dr. Butler. All are incredibly thorough and kind. They make a point to explain all of the scans and tests--to compare test results year over year--and to help find the right eye care and perfect frames. Studio Optix has the most incredible selection of glasses. Hands down. And they are experts at finding exactly what works for your needs and facial structure. They also take great care to explain exactly what is covered by insurance. Highly recommend!! read more

Our family of 4 has been seeing Mitch (Dr Cassel) and his team for 20+ years. Mitch always gives a thorough eye exam and takes time to discuss any concerns/issues. We have all been fitted for contacts and eyeglasses. The selection of frames is outstanding. Everyone in the office is extremely helpful and pleasant. We highly recommend the Studio Optix team!! read more

Downright the best run operation I have ever experienced. I have been going here for 5 years now and make trips back to NY just to do my eye exams and purchase glasses. Dr. Butler is amazing and I really appreciate the level of service from Adam when I am looking for new glasses. read more

Great service, extremely friendly staff. I had Dr. Brandon Butler perform the exam and Adam assist me with my glasses selection. Both were extremely knowledgeable and took their time to assist me with all of my questions. I left the office with a few free samples of eye drops and contacts as well which is always appreciated. Highly recommend for your next eye appointment! read more

Dr. Brandon Butler has been our optometrist for a number of years so initially went to Studio Optix for him. Every visit has been a pleasant experience. I knew what to expect of Dr. Butler but every staff member is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Adam has assisted us with selection of frames (one of his specialties) and explaining our insurance coverage, which he's also excellent at. Front desk attendants, assistants and technicians are all equally good. The shop has state of the art equipment and they have an extensive selection of frames for every taste. This is not a turn and burn shop. Every customer is attended to fully and without rush. For us, visiting Studio Optix is visiting friends. read more

Adam at Studio Optix is absolutely spectacular! Adam will help you find glasses specifically for your face, I realize many stores will say that they will help you but he actually takes the time to do so. He looks at your facial structure to pick out the glasses that most complement you and explain why. I wanted a very specific pair of glasses that were unfortunately out of stock, he moved having an earth to help me find them and we were lucky enough to do so. Dr. Butler made me feel incredibly comfortable with the process of my exam, and explained thoroughly the changes in my eyes. This is a family owned company, and they truly care. I will not hesitate to recommend to everyone that I know they should go there and I will continue to support their business for decades to come. I had a phenomenal experience and I now understand why so many people are repeat buyers. read more

Very efficient and friendly practice! I called the day of and Adam, the Optician, was so helpful and was able to book me an appointment that worked well for my schedule. He also went above and beyond for me during my appointment. He helped with picking out chic glasses for me to try on and naturally fell in love with one! I also had a little whoopsie that he helped figure out for me which I really appreciated. He is an amazing Optician :) Can't wait to get my glasses and thank you!! read more

Questions for the business manager/owner: - How much $ have you guys billed for without your customers' knowledge? - And out of that $, how much did you pocket without providing service/product for? - I didn't realize you operated a SaaS company and booked deferred revenues - maybe I forgot to execute that contract your lawyers sent over? Borderline fraudulent if not a VERY slimy front office (no issues with the optometrist - my doctor was friendly and good). The business had the audacity to tell me their billing practice was correct when I contacted them, so I was forced to call my insurance to resolve (which they did easily). Issues 1) Billed my insurance for my full $250 annual allowance but I only purchased $140 of products. This was done without my knowledge/permission. I realized this 4 months later after checking my annual allowance. Studio Optix never told me that I had credit so they would have pocketed the excessive amount (just like your ex-gf that wants nothing to do with you, no email, text, or phone). This could have been OK if they agreed to refund me after I called, but they refused to and told me this was the correct method and I need to bring a new prescription to them if I want to use my credit (good try but didn't work this time for you). Ended up calling my insurance company to have them claw back my credit. 2) Did not provide OEM rebate on contact lenses until after I chased multiple times via email and phone (3 in total). Had this issue during my first purchase last year but I let it go because it wasn't a huge deal. But if you ever order from these guys just realize they don't care about their customers' pockets. read more

I have these killer glasses that people have stopped me in the street to compliment them and ask where they can find them! It has gotten to the point where I carry SO's business cards with me... Dont believe me - watch this: http://nyti.ms/11tzBYP read more

Studio Optix - Glasses gotten from Studio Optix - Optometrists Near Me - New York, New York

I have been going here for almost 20 years, the best in the eye business. Great through exam and always the freshest assortment of frames available. You will not be disappointed by a visit to Dr. Mitch and his team of professionals. Thanks again !!! read more

I absolutely adore my new frames. This location at Rockefeller Center has a boutique aesthetic -- previously hadn't heard of or seen such a variety/different styles of frames. Customer service is excellent. Walked in without an appointment and left with a new prescription and frames in less than an hour of time. Only thing is majority of their inventory is in drawers (not on display) so had to rely on their recommendations. read more

Fantastic customer service from the time I made my appointment on the phone to leaving the office. Dr. Cassel was thorough but quick and very informative. Adam was a great help me understand my new insurance benefits and also with picking out frames that complimented my face. I can't wait to get my new glasses! read more

Everything from beginning to end here was sort of awful. The front desk barely acknowledged me when I entered (with an online appointment, which also took some back and forth to schedule). The technician doing the various scans and tests was very curt, even by NYC standards. The doctor kept asking me why I was there and how I heard about the place. I kept saying that I wanted an annual update to my prescription and that I lived nearby. I was then escorted to a sales person who was very fast and loose with the billing. I left without any paperwork or email receipts believing that the majority of my glasses would be covered by insurance only to be charged an exorbitant amount, even by NYC standards. I guess I should have known that Rockefeller Center rent would result in said prices. When I picked up my glasses I was disappointed to discover that the prescription is actually incorrect, which I confirmed with another optician. So, now I've used my annual insurance allowance, spent $1000+ and have no updated glasses. read more

Adam took care of my lenses and he was very kind and amiable! We went a few minutes after the store closed but he was kind enough to take care of my order. This store offers high quality blue light lenses for a much better price than other stores nearby. Will be returning for any future lens matters! read more

Have been a client of Studio Optix for more than 25 years and I LOVE them. They constantly provide the most updated technology to test your eyes, and their selection of glasses is top of the line. The staff are wonderful and always so accommodating - Dr. Cassel has a cracker Jack team. Its not cheap, but you pay for what you get: best in class. Sans doubt. read more

Great service and latest eye health technology. Dr. Butler is extremely friendly and professional. He takes the time to explain the results from all of the eye tests performed and compares results year over year. He goes above and beyond by explaining how the eye works in relation to your eye health. Dr. Butler provides suggestions of products/services to increase your eye health but never makes you feel pressured to make any purchase. Staff is very helpful in ordering contacts/glasses. They knowledge of your insurance plan and available rebates is unmatched. They ship everything next day which is super convenient. read more

THE BEST! I started going to Studio Optix more than 15 years ago because I worked in the neighborhood, and I keep going because they are THE BEST. Dr Cassel and Dr. Klibanoff and the entire staff are thorough, knowledgeable & professional. From the eye exam/addressing eye health issues to the help choosing frames & contacts, and navigating insurance benefits--they are an amazing group of people. I've referred so many friends and colleagues to Studio Optix over the years, and everyone agrees! read more

I'll respond the comments made by the business I wish there was someone in the office to take notes on everything so now it doesn't have to become your word vs my word. but anyway...I will share the facts and would leave it to whoever reading this to see if it's worth visiting this place 1. First of all, I was mostly upset about the horrible things that you said during the visit, which I have quoted in my initial review. Based on your reply, you seemed to call those words as your "professional advice", which is amazing to me as it seems that your interpretation of "professional" is a bit questionable 2. Secondly, let's get the fact straight. I came in with -4.25 (left and right). The test showed that I should wear -4.50 left, -4.75 right.. After trying the glasses, I told you that they were a bit much, so you lowered my right eye to -4.50. After we were finished with the glasses, we moved on to contact lense. I told you I had this issue with my right eye, so you suggest me to lower my left eye to -4.25 to lessen the stress and asked me to try different combinations. (425/425, 425/450, 450/450) So I walked out with -4.25 left and 4.50 right and a bunch of lenses in 425 and 450 to spent 4-5-days to try those. However, In your reply below, your mention of "-0.25 both" " after a week..., which would usually take a day".... further proved that you didn't remember anything, even now! Your definition of "I remember you extremely well" in your comment is also questionable...and this is exactly why I felt frustrated in the second visit as mentioned in my earlier review 3. Not important, but I don't know what you were talking about regarding I didn't wear lenses coming back for the second visit...i did, otherwise I can't see at -450 both..check security footage please 4, Yes, I came back because neither of the combination that you had given me was comfortable and I wanted to check whether there was something wrong with the my eye - that's why I made an appointment with you and my expectation is that you were going to check again per my conversation with the front desk I'm also confused by your comments "you apparently still could not decide and eventually returned back to Studio Optix"...do you mean that every patient has to purchase lenses after one visit no matter how uncomfortable they were after visiting Studio Optix? And they are not allowed to see doctor again? Finally You mentioned that you have been practicing for over 20 years. I respect that and I believe you must have outstanding track records on technical stuff. But your experience doesn't mean that you were entitled to treat your patient this way (at least me, I can speak for others). Frankly, you could have handled this much better if you really felt that you couldn't help me, and I won't blame you. But Instead, you chose to go with "I have no time for this" "you are splitting hair", "this should be a slam dunk" as well as complaining to your staff while i was still there in your office read more

It's not cheap, but this shop has an excellent selection of harder to find looks, colors, and feels then most places. If you're looking for a change, to funk up your life, your style. This is the place. Well worth the budget. Their staff are like personal stylists! read more

I have been going here for years, and Dr. Klibanoff is the nicest person! She remembers me every time I go, and even remembers details about my life. In fact, one time she asked if I wanted anything on her run to Starbucks. Just a true gem! The office was super helpful during COVID to get my expired prescription extended. They fit me in once within minutes when i had an "eyemergency." Appreciate these guys! read more

Dr. Klibanoff is the best optometrist I've ever seen - will be returning

I wish to respond to the comment made by "Adam C." to my comment. You're playing semantics and being dishonest - yet again - which is really shameful. First, your website has your company's name on the top of it. As such, your business should stand by the pricing listed on YOUR website. Period. Yet, you refused to do that. And your employee at the store lied over and over to me - claiming you didn't give prices on your website - even though you clearly did. Just blatant dishonesty. Second, I did not need to "search deep online" to find this brand - it's a very popular brand that's sold on virtually every single contact lens website and optometrist office. So, lying in your post today - and pretending this was some obscure brand - just shows again how disingenuous you are and how you will resort to deceit rather than acknowledging the fact that you refused to stand by the pricing listed on your site. As for your excuse that you're a small business - Sir, this does not excuse your behavior: It doesn't matter if you're a small or large business. At the end of the day, consumers want to deal with a business that's honest, ethical, trustworthy, stands behind their products/prices and respects their customers. But you've clearly demonstrated - both in your rude demeanor on the phone with me yesterday AND in today's post - that you truly are dishonest, unethical and untrustworthy. .... Consumers reading this would be wise to avoid this business. If I could give this negative stars, I would. read more

I had an outstanding experience purchasing glasses that exceeded my expectations. Mike and Adam were phenomenal - they provided exceptional service and made me feel like more than just a customer. They were warm, friendly and consultative throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand my needs and helped me find the perfect pair of glasses. Their selection of frames was unique and impressive, they offered bespoke options that I couldn't find anywhere else. I highly recommend this store and especially Mike and Adam to anyone in need of new glasses. I came back just a month after buying one pair of glasses to get a second pair. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I was having headaches that became severe that appeared to be the result of deteriorating reading vision. Erika was extraordinarily helpful in squeezing me into Dr. Cassel's schedule on short notice and he was able to address a somewhat complicated situation a previous optometrist could not diagnose. Dr. Cassel was thorough, patient and extremely helpful. The entire staff was excellent especially Erika who helped address a variety of insurance and payment issues. Thank you all!!!! read more

I walked past Studio Optix on a Sunday afternoon and immediately spotted a pair of unique glasses in the window. Of course it was Sunday and they were supposed to be close, but my luck two people were working overtime. Dr. Cassel kindly opened the door for me and climbed through the display to get the pair I spotted! I tried them on and fell in love! Adam fitted me for the glasses but I didn't pull the trigger. I left the store and could not stop thinking about the glasses so i immediately emailed Adam to purchase them. Because I moved down to Florida, Adam helped me with everything over the phone and through email. He made the whole process so easy. I just received my glasses today and I'm in LOVE! Thank you Dr. Cassel and Adam for being so kind and helpful! I would highly recommend Studio Optix to anyone! read more

Great optical place if you would like personal recommendations for frames and lenses. Their collections are a bit high end with luxury bands though. Can be a bit crowds on holidays. Thanks Adam specifically for recommending my glasses! read more

A really nice shop! It carry good brands and people there are super professional and friendly. I got my glasses before COVID and they are very accommodating about picking it up. read more

Wish I could add a sixth star! Today I picked up my 3rd pair of glasses from Studio Optix (usually get a new pair every 2 years - insurance restrictions) - haven't even worn these new ones 1 full day and I've already received 2 compliments from total strangers. I've never had my eyes examined before by Studio Optix, this was the first time and I'm so glad I did. The exam by Dr. Sarah Klibanoff was outstanding. The technology they now use doesn't require your eyes to be dilated (yes there's an additional charge but frankly it's quite minimal). After the eye exam the process is quite simple. You sit with one of the technicians and they ask you a few questions about your style, wants, etc. then they return with nothing short of about 1/2 dozen to a dozen frames. Never-ever have I been to an eyeglass store where I saw more than 1 pair I actually liked. Not here, there were so many to choose from that I actually really liked so I went with the recommendation of the person helping me and boy am I glad I did. Don't let the few shelves of glasses fool you - they literally have hundreds to choose from and the help they provide is 1st class. They tell it like it is, they feel it doesn't suit you they tell you! So long story short (I know, too late), not only do I love my new glasses but i don't think I've ever had clearer vision thanks to Dr. Klibanoff and her exam. Everyone I've interacted with there was incredibly nice, friendly and more than willing to help, you should check these folks out. This place is so amazing (cool and trendy) that I actually look forward to buying a new pair, never thought I'd say that about an optical store! read more

I was long overdue for new contacts and an eye exam since the beginning of covid. Was so happy with my recent visit to Studio Optix. Adam helped me and was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and genuine. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place! They are really straight forward, efficient, and willing to help when it comes to your insurance and pricing. They have a large selection of "free frames" that come with your insurance, stylish frames and designer frames. One thing I really like is that their are multiple people working at the desks to assist you with your glasses. So you get the attention that you want and it keeps things moving. The office is clean and conveniently located. I will continue to go to this place even when I am no longer working in the building! Love it here. read more

The employees here are incredible. They treated my situation with my glasses at the highest level of professionalism. They were friendly and helpful. I recommend this business for all your glassware needs. They fixed my sunglasses too. Thank you so much for being in my neighborhood! I'm very lucky to have them so close by. read more

My experience here was AMAZING. Let me lay it down for you- if you don't wanna read my woes (or lack there-of) scroll down to the end for a brief summation ;). So I needed to renew my license on Thursday and I looked up closer areas by me, low and behold this place came up on the map. I call at 11:00 AM- and I'm told I can just walk in for a quick eye exam. I show up at approximately 1 and I am taken care of in the most quick and efficient manner possible! I loved it so much that I scheduled an eye exam for the next day! Come Friday, I walk in again during my lunch hour, and am taken through the most methodical and precise eye exam I have ever had! Believe me when I say this is a HUGE compliment- because my vision is so bad, I usually would have doctors spending what felt like hours trying to figure out which lens to put on where, but with Studio Optix state of the art machinery, there was no such buffoonery going on (thank the heavens). Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances that morning, I didn't have time to choose my frames after work, so once I finished both my lens and contact exam AND got a complimentary set of contact solution from the charismatic doctor, I was absolutely accommodated and told to come in when I had the time- with my discount being applicable for whenever I chose to come in and make my purchase. The time came to make my purchase exactly a week later, when on the next Friday, I went in after work to select a pair of frames. Can I just say, they have such a stylish selection of lenses I wanted to take it all with me, AND I even tried to purchase two! However, my financial woes came back to bite me in the you-know-where, and Studio Optix STILL worked with me to give me a full refund on my second pair. Essentially, Studio Optix is the embodiment of you get what you pay for. They provided, hands-down, one of the most competent, efficacious and thorough eye exams I've ever had. They were extremely well versed in their insurance speak- meaning they were very cognizant and on top of their need to lay down ALL of your options, even the ones you didn't think you needed to know. They are all knowledgeable in their craft, and happy to provide you with quick, but individualistic service (though Adam was my personal angel!). Lastly, they genuinely want to provide good service, so I definitely know where to go when it comes to my vision. Thank-you Studio Optix! read more

I think Dr. Cassel is the best optometrist in the city! He was the 3rd optometrist that I had to visit to get my 1st set of reading glasses to work right. The other 2 prescribed glasses that were too strong, giving me nausea and headaches. At Dr Cassel's, they really spent their time and usedthe best technology to assess your vision. So happy that I finally found an optometrist that is great and attentive! read more

Adam was absolutely THE BEST! Helpful , great feedback, worked hard to find me the perfect frames for what I was looking for --I couldn't recommend this group more! Fabulous and unique frames and great people! read more

Great experience at Studio Optics! They helped me pick out the perfect pair of sunglasses for the summer with first class service. They suggested the best frames for my face and then made sure they fit snuggly before I left. definitely going back!! read more
