Was visiting my daughter in NYC and we dropped in as I'd been looking for new frames. Found a great pair and Brandon was supremely kind and helpful. The glasses were shipped to me in MA when they were ready and needed to be adjusted. Anthony found me a retailer in Boston who sold the same frames. Recommend!

In the city from out of town, our daughter post surgery, her glasses broke on Labor day weekend. She basically can't see without them. We were given an appointment for repair, in about an hour and they were efficiently repaired. My husband said they couldn't have been nicer! And he brought them back to our daughter within 2 hours.Many Thanks!

Not one to write reviews but Anthony and team are exceptional. I called in search of a specific frame, Anthony ordered it immediately and had my glasses ready three days later. He even stayed late to make sure I got them ahead of the weekend. It’s clear the team has attention to detail and will go the extra step for their customers. The shop has amazing selection and a very warm vibe. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be back.

Simply the best opticians in New York. You will find what you need here. Anthony is a master of pairing the right frames to a face, most times on the first try. The whole staff is genuinely pleasant yet professional. Turn around is very quick and attention to detail is duly paid. I have been coming here for nearly three decades and do not plan on getting my glasses anywhere else. Always a pleasure

This is the finest shop I've been to in my 20 years of eyeglass wearing. It's a great neighborhood place that also maintains the highest standards of quality, service and friendliness. The owner and staff know every aspect of eyewear: prescriptions, materials, styling and even insurance coverage. I became a permanent customer after Anthony personally went to great effort to get me two pairs of glasses by mail at the height of the pandemic when the entire city was shut down. Also, great coffee at Porto Rico next door.

This neighborhood shop has sophisticated frame choices, owners who have an excellent eye for the best choice for you, quick turnaround times, and top-notch lens grinding, even for complicated prescriptions and progressives. And they are so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend - my husband and I haven't bought glasses anywhere else since we discovered them.

Anthony Aiden is absolutely fantastic! My husband got his glasses there first- the glasses were amazing and the staff was helpful and patient. The glasses selection is great and it was hard to choose just one pair. The staff made the process smooth and pleasurable. Then the whole family (Including kids) proceeded to follow - everyone getting new glasses. They were amazing with the whole family! With their glasses selection, patience and customer service, they reach a level of excellence I previously experienced! We’ll be going back for years to come
