One of the (many) curses of my life has been myopia. As a kid, it led to schoolyard bullies…read morehabitually calling me, "4 Eyes!" and challenging me to fight. I became a youthful "street fighter" (a bad one, let me hasten to add) because I basically had no choice but to fight or get knocked down (or, in my case, to fight and usually get knocked down, although I did win a few). As I got older, I contemplated contact lenses, but this seemed too much like a concession to vanity, as well as necessitating way too much effort and work (another curse in my life has been the curse of laziness, or...to wax Biblical..."sloth"). My optician during those years was Vincent Rizzo in Bernardsville. The last time I went to him was 20 years ago when my birth mother contacted me about meeting for the 1st time. The glasses I had at that point were outdated, unstylish, and...in my nervousness about not wanting to be perceived by the woman who had given me birth as a "dweeb," (vanity belatedly kicking in), I went to Rizzo's and bought myself a pair of glasses with a more modern, up-to-date style. However, I kept the older glasses to use when I was home by myself and watching TV. Well, fast forward...20 years later. Rizzo's in Bernardsville is gone, replaced by a psychic (as an aside, I've always maintained that if a psychic, a massage parlor or a "dollar store" opens in your neighborhood, your neighborhood is well into its swift decline. Just the other night, I had dinner with my oldest friend in Butler at a strip mall restaurant alongside a semi-rural stretch of Rt. 23. As we left, at about 10pm, a massage parlor 2 or 3 stores down was still open for business, it's orange neon light flashing "OPEN." I joked, "You think that's legitimate, or you think you can get a 'Happy Ending' there?" With a straight face, my friend replied, "No, I'm sure it's legitimate. There's always going to be somebody out here in the middle of nowhere who needs that crick in his neck or that pain in the lumbar region massaged out in the middle of the night by an experienced, professional masseuse." Yeah, sure. Anyway...) Recently, being typically careless (another curse in my life; my habitual carelessness), I was clearing out the remains of a lavish Italian meal I had treated myself to and inadvertently threw my spare pair of glasses out with the rest of the garbage (I had been watching TV while I ate and put the glasses down alongside the remnants of my meal when I was finished). Looking for those glasses the next day and realizing that they were gone for good (I wasn't about to go crawling through the dumpster looking for them), I was in a quandary. I do go semi-regularly to an ophthalmologist in South Orange for eye exams, but it has been decades since I've gotten a new pair of glasses (outside of an incipient cataract, my vision hasn't changed much, and the old prescription still works for me). Rizzo's in Bernardsville is long gone. What to do? I still have my primary pair of glasses, but I wanted to have an extra pair around, just in case. I called Gerald York, and they were very friendly and accommodating, answering all my questions. Yes, they could make a pair of glasses based solely on the pair I had now, without an eye examination or a copy of my last, decades-old prescription. So, the following day, I went to the store, which is located in the central (and quaint) shopping area of Basking Ridge. In a few minutes, they had the order in, and the glasses were ready a few days hence. I can't say the price of the glasses was cheap, but it wasn't as much as I thought it might be, and I feel more secure with this pair than I would with a pair from...say...Walmart. Parking in Basking Ridge can be hairy, but Gerald York has convenient parking in the back of the store. I've only had the 1 experience with them and am hoping I won't have need for any other glasses at least into the near future, but based on this 1 experience, I've found that they're friendly, efficient, and provide quick quality service. For your eyeglass needs, I can't think of anyone I could recommend more.

My family's new go to optometrist!…read more I yelped to find a glasses store that sells Asian fit frames, which is made to fit people with flatter nose bridge. Through yelp, I found this place and read some positive reviews of Dr. Lee. I made an appointment for myself and two kids and we all had our eyes examined by Dr. Lee. He's friendly and I never felt rushed through our appointments. He made sure to answer all questions and concerns. When our exam is done, we have the choice to get our prescriptions written and head out to another place to shop and shop here directly. Honestly, I knew I needed the Asians fit so I browsed around to see what they have on stocked. It didn't take too long for me to fit 'the one' pair of frame. It was light weight, cute and fits my face perfectly. The best part is the frames are reasonably priced compared to my other Asian fit frame I purchased in north jersey. 20% discounts are given to customers who doesn't have insurance for frames and yes, unfortunately that applies to us. I'm happy with my glasses and so is my son. For my daughter, there were no change in her eyesight exam which is great as she can still wear her existing pair. Their staff is friendly and really try to work with the patients/customers. I have seen them on providing costs effective and solutions if you have any financial concerns.

I came here accidentally as I was looking for an appointment that was not weeks away. I actually…read moregot a same day appointment. Dr Lee and his staff are professional and up to date in technology. He has amazing mannerism. Staff is super helpful and kind. I got a lens that did not fit my expectation. They were able to upgrade it at the difference of cost without any hassle. Their recommendation for the frame was right on. Highly recommend to anyone in Edison or Metuchen area.

Today my visit at Vision Works went great. Haven't seen an eye doctor in a few years. They were…read morevery thorough and my experince was better then the eye doctors office near my town. Very efficient , prompt and I definately recommend them.

ZERO stars. I bought a pair of progressive lens eyeglasses from them in Ray-Ban frames. These…read morecost around $600. When I got them, I immediately tried them on in the store and I noticed my vision was not clear, especially for distance. I discussed this with the staff. They suggested I wear them a bit and if not right let them know. So I did but I also brought them to my eye doctor the next day. He checked the lenses and discovered that they were not cut properly according to his prescription. Additionally, while at the eye doctor I noticed that the left lens was not fitted in the frames properly. It was loose. I brought the back to Visionworks the next day with both complaints. They took them back saying they would "check the prescription" and at a minimum, replace the left lens because the shape of it didn't fit the frames, hence the looseness. A week and a half later I get the glasses back, I try them and as far as the ability to see any better, they seemed about the same. But, amazingly (or not?) the lens that was loose wasn't replaced at all. What they did was bend the frame to fit the lens! So that was that. I wanted my money back and they gave it to me, because they do have a "return for any reason" policy. However, the nerve of them to try to skate by responsibility for fixing them properly obviously just hoping I wouldn't notice. What jerks. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE DECEITFUL SCOUNDRELS!!!

My wife and I had been looking for an Eyeglass and Optical shop since we were not very happy with…read moredisappointing experiences at our past stores. Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted with a big smile and hello by Cheryl Liberto. A very pleasant, kind and professional. She immediately offered many eyeglass frame and lenses options that fit our needs. Using our vision benefits, she was able to maximize my eyeglass to our budget. We are extremely pleased with her knowledge and compassion for us. He attention to detail proved to be the winning factor. The Optical Shoppe is your place for your eyeglass and contact needs. We fully recommend Cheryl to all others.

I would…read morelike to thank Dr. Najarian for taking the time to listen to your concerns and for clearly communicating all treatment options. I am happy to report that I chose a monofocal, astigmatism correcting, full focus, multifocal lens implant. I was a little hesitant as this was a new breakthrough treatment at the time, and I am so happy with the results. Following the surgery, this office worked continuously with my optometrist over the entire recovery and post recovery period. They really care about me and my local doctor was surprised by the level of followup. Something. they don't usually see, I guess. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Najarian and his entire staff for all that they have done for me. Getting my vision back and not having to wear glasses, is a true life changer. Thank you Dr. Najarian.
