Paul & Lorrain are the best and very professional at their job and their common courtesy is worth millions. I don't just say that because I'm just one of their customers but I was their mailman for years before I retired back in Feb '24 and they also gave me a warm welcome from day one and they also do same to other delivery services. They get 5 Stars from me because they are good people all year long. read more

From the moment that I walked in, everyone was so helpful and pleasant. When I was told I needed glasses by the doctor, I was a little sad, but Paul made me feel comfortable and I was OK with the fact I needed glasses. When I went to go pick up my glasses, I was still a little bit upset that I had to wear glasses the frames that I have, I have to get used to of me wearing glasses. Paul is so sweet and understanding. This is truly the most wonderful experience I've ever had going to an eye doctor. I was treated like family not a stranger. Highly recommend. read more

Paul's a very nice fellow. I had been using his optical services for years when I wore glasses regularly. I recently went back to get glasses just for distance, it's been many years. Was nice to see him and I found a pair of frames I liked. Will be getting them soon. He's just a pleasant person and provides that extra touch to make the experience that much nicer. Cohens, Sol Moscot, and all those other optical places are awful. read more

The people here are so friendly and helpful. I'm always kindly helped when I'm here. I hope they stay in business for a long time.

Paul is Great at what he does. He is helping me with firing my new glasses. Thank you Vincent Opticians.

SO Far SO good! I have had soooo many negative experiences with "Vision Centers" in and near my home neighborhood of Bayside, Queens, NY. That includes major negative issues and shady business practices of . . . 1. Cohen's Optical, Bay Terrace Shopping Center, 2. American Vision on Bell Blvd & 3. the last (and worst that I have ever bought from) "Bayside Family Eyecare". .AKA THE "Elmer Fudd" of the eyewear profession! So, when I needed to replace a missing nose pad, I came to this (Vincent's Opticians) shop, after having read all of his glowing reviews. I found that all of those (super-positive) reviews were/are in fact . . ."100% justified!" Paul spent about ten + minutes trying to find a nose pad that would be a good fit. He installed a new nose pad that works well and fits "just right". When he brought them back to me, he then fitted them to my face and adjusted them for the best possible fit. He did all this while maintaining a {sincerely} friendly attitude. When I asked him . . . "Pail, how much do I owe you", he said "NO CHARGE" !!! And then, when I attempted to place a $10.00 bill in the palm of his hand . . . he refused to take it, handed it back to me, and said . . . "I'm glad I was able to help you out". In my opinion - Paul represents the kind of retailer that we ALL WISH FOR - every time we enter a retail store. But . . . we rarely, (if ever) get one! He, Paul, actually did "make my day", (as Clint Eastwood - might say), lol , and in the process of doing so, he also renewed my faith in the "potential" for some (though not many) retail store owners/operators and their young and mostly (clueless * * * especially at Bayside Family Eyecare) employees to service the local community in an honest and straightforward way. THANK YOU PAUL . . . . for restoring my faith and "re-igniting" the "candle of hope" for my fellow Man! PAUL . . you be "TOTALLY EPIC DUDE" . . . as the kids, now-a-days say. :-) read more

I called Vincent's Opticians last minute to see if I could bring my mom in to have her eyeglasses adjusted. I was visiting from Central NJ for the weekend and my mom had been through such an ordeal since breaking her hip the previous September. Her glasses were very loose, and she was VERY nervous about breaking them. I had taken her to Vincent's 7 years before to get new eyeglasses and remembered how nice Paul and Lorraine were. To my surprise, Paul answered the phone and said that my sister and I could bring my mom right in. It was nice to see that he and Lorraine were still there together. Paul could not have been any more helpful, adjusting my mom's main pair of glasses, checking the prescriptions on that pair and the other 3 we brought in to see if any could be considered a "spare pair." He replaced the nose pads on all 4 pairs, adjusted them, checked the prescriptions and he was wonderful with my mom. We knew we were in excellent hands and I can't tell you how much my mom, sister and I appreciated his time and kindness. I so highly recommend supporting this small business that has an amazing personal touch! They are gems. read more

The nicest people in the word, they will do anything to accommodate your needs. Everyone I have recommended to them ,has been thrilled to people, and they intern recommend Vincents to others. Do not waste your time with any other place; they are Clean, excellent supply, and if you want something specific, they will order 6 others to see if you like them. No commitment. If anything isn't perfect , the will redo your order till they get it right ( although that never happens) Love, love, love them. Paul the owner, and Lorraine, receptionist are the sweetest people, and are like friends to my husband and I. Go, I have found the perfect eyeglass sy read more

I took my elderly mother here. She has hearing loss and a the beginnings of dementia, so she isn't the easiest patient. The staff (the receptionist, optometrist, and optician) was just outstanding. They managed to be kind and kept the highest levels of professionalism without being patronizing. They delivered an excellent pair of glasses - she's barely removed them since we picked up three weeks ago! read more

I highly recommend Vincent's for all your optical needs. They are friendly and honest and didn't try to up sell. Paul was very patient and listened to my needs and concerns. When I said I didn't want to break the bank on my new frames he understood and complied. I am very pleased with my experience there and I am glad to support this local business from now on. read more

I will never go anywhere else. My family and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember, Paul is patient, knowledge, and one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Its always a pleasant experience when I come by, which is often because both my brothers, my mom, and my dad come here as well!! I wish I could leave 4 more 5 star reviews on their behalf!!! read more

Absolutely excellent. Paul is the nicest person who will go out of his way for anything. Prices are excellent, great selection. He specializes in progressive lenses. My eye doctor swares by him. A must go, SKIP THE INPERSONAL CHAINS ,and get the real family friendly deal. read more

Great customer service. Paul made us feel welcomed. I will continue to support small, neighborhood businesses like These!

Awesome experience, I'm so glad I found Vincent's so close to home and they accept my insurance. Paul is great, very personable and no high pressure selling. I went just for reading glasses, but went back to upgrade my driving glasses to Transition lenses. It's a family business and you can definitely feel their pride in their work read more

This Mom & Pop shop has been giving my family quality service for three generations. The owners are very patient, professional and attentive to your needs. They do not rush you and go that extra mile when trying to select what is best for you. They let you do the selecting and do not try to force you into anything you wouldn't be happy with. A class act all the way. I highly recommend this shop for a most pleasant experience. read more

You can go online, Costco, Pearl, Cohen, etc. However, you will not get the quality service and honesty. Paul, the owner selected the right glasses for my face and coloring. He knows his inventory inside and out. I receive so many compliments about how good I look in my glasses. I have gone to other establishments and they say, "they look great", when they really don't. read more

I was very happy with my new eyeglasses which I purchased at Vincent's. I found the customer service to be excellent.

These guys are crooks. They charged me over $400.00 for ultra thin lenses and guess what? The lenses are twice as thick as they should be. The father & son have a cute racket - the son quotes a price and when you go back to purchase, the price is higher and the father says "My son, he made a mistake". And of course, he does not honor the lower price. This has happened to me, as well as 2 of my neighbors. We want to give the local guy the business, but unfortunately he is giving it to everyone else! Stay away - go to Pearl on Northern. read more

This is the best place for eyeglasses in the area! I wouldn't go anyplace else. They are friendly and courteous. They even offered discounts I wasn't aware of. Great place! read more

Alright, sorry some folks had bad experiences here, but I'm getting a feel of the type of people who write reviews of opticians on Yelp. In my experience, these guys have been nothing short of awesome. Had a little wait the first time, but that's because they don't rush people through. They have been nothing but courteous, friendly and extremely helpful. They went out of their way to call my insurance provider themselves to make sure I didn't have to pay any more than I should. The staff and in-house eye doctor are all great. These guys are old school in a good way: the legendary days when businesses actually cared about taking care of their customers, not milking them. Want proof? Just stop in there yourself and talk to them. read more

Just picked up our new glasses today. We have been going to Vincent's for years. The fit is perfect. This is especially important with progressive lenses. Great selection of frames in all styles and price points. They also carry Designer and European frames you won't find in most stores. We love the personal touch. Nice to go where they know your name!! read more

Not sure about the other reviews, I have always found Nino and his son pleasant and accommodating; not to mention reasonable on price (my family has been going to them for years). If I had to guess, the previous reviewers failed to understand that if you have bad eyesight, even "ultra-thin" lenses will be thick. Regardless of price, Nino earns my loyalty because he is a perfectionist: if you have a problem with the grind or fit of your glasses, he will spend as much time as necessary to correct the problem. read more

Vincent Opticians in Flushing did a great job making my tinted reading glasses. They gave me a lot of choices and were friendly and polite. My glasses were done ahead of time and were exactly what I ordered. great quality and friendly atmosphere. read more

Great service and personal attention to detail is very important and at Vincent opticians they made sure I am just as important as the next customer. I've been to the chain eyewear (Davis..Pearl) and those are just factories. The selection here at Vincent is of much better quality and they will stand behind there products of lenses and frames. Put it this way you get what you pay for. If you want great service, attention to personal detail and a great quality product Paul is the go to person. read more
