Services
We pride ourselves in providing patients with professional vision care and medical eye care. Many know the family-friendly office has been in the Wantagh community since 1980. Our optical services feature the latest fashionable frames and quality lenses and coatings. We fit a wide array of contact lenses and specialize in the hard-to-fit patient.
If you've had a vision screening recently, you might say, My vision is fine! I don't need a comprehensive eye exam. But a vision screening provides a limited perspective on the overall health of your eyes. It's a bit like getting your blood pressure checked and not getting the rest of your annual physical.
Dr. Neil Rubin has been serving the local community since he graduated from optometry school in 1988. He received a BS in biology at SUNY Albany and graduated SUNY College of Optometry which he stayed on as an associate clinical professor. His post-graduate work included working with children in prominent Long Island developmental vision practices and becoming certified in the diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of eye diseases.
If you've never worn contact lenses before, it can seem a bit intimidating. After all, you're inserting something into your eye! Let's ease your mind about the first step - your contact lens exam. This post will walk you through what's involved in a contact lens exam and what you can expect every step of the way.
Keratoconus is a common reason why patients wear specialty contact lenses. Dr. Rubin uses different designs from custom soft to gas permeable and scleral depending on the level of the condition. Rose-K is a unique gas permeable lens fit by Dr. Rubin to match the irregular cornea. When you come to the office, Dr. Rubin will discuss the options available to you.

Dr. Rubin is wonderful. He explains everything in an easy to understand way. The office staff is amazing and very accomodating. I especially enjoyed the help in choosing glasses that complement my face shape. Please try Dr. Rubin if you are looking for a smart, friendly one stop shop eye doctor!

I've been going to Dr. Rubin since I was in high school with my family. He has worked with me endlessly to try to make sure my eyes are always comfortable, since I have so many issues haha. The entire staff is very welcoming and I can't imagine ever going elsewhere.

Dr. Rubin makes going to the doctor easy and seamless. He is intelligent, personable and has excellent bedside manner which is so important these days. The location is great, the office is very clean, and he does not overbook, so you will not need to wait long. The eye exams are thorough and there are an abundant amount of glasses options to choose from. I would highly recommend, as not only is Dr. Rubin great, but his front desk staff is very helpful and professional as well.

Dr. Rubin is not only the best optometrist I've ever been to,
he has a great bedside manner and is meticulous at formulating
the perfect prescription for my eyes.
I've been to other optometrists and usually, the prescriptions they formulate are slightly too strong, and they create a discomfort to my eyes after wearing the glasses for a short time.

I've been a patient of Dr. Rubin's for several years. I've always found him and his staff to be pleasant, courteous, respectful of my time, and friendly. I've never felt rushed. I feel as if they take an interest in my well being. And, of course, I think they're very good at what they do.

Went to Dr Rubin office due to an emergency where I scratch my eye and I began to panic. I was able to set up an appointment online before they opened and the moment they were open I received a call and they were able to make a appointment for me right away. The staff and Dr were beyond nice and I felt so comfortable. I even made an appointment for my daughter. I Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Rubin is very thorough and gets my prescription right every time. He also has a nice selection of eyewear. The front desk was also very receptive, and great with helping me pick out frames as well.

My sister recommend Dr. Rubin, after I cracked a tooth. "But" I said "I need a Dentist not an Optometrist." She said "Well your glasses are horrible too." Being that she is my sister and much much older I decided to pay heed to her advice. After she released me from the head lock in which she held me (she's also much much larger) I called Dr. Rubin's office. I'm glad I did. Dr. Rubin and his team are very friendly.
Dr. Rubin did an excellent job testing my eyes and determining my prescription. Also he and his team helped me choose great frames. I could not be happier with my new glasses, Dr. Rubin

I have been visiting Dr Rubin for about half my life. I have moved, and the trip is not as convenient, but I am still here. That should tell you something. It is a nice friendly office and a good, kind, friendly doctor who makes you feel comfortable.

I have been to many eye doctors as I have been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old. This office is the best, I have been going there for 29 years now. Both my children went there from 5 years old and they were great with my children as well. Excellent experience- I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I can't believe I've wasted so many years going to other optometrists that gave me contacts that dry my eyes. Dr. Rubin is very knowledgeable. Don't waste your time with the other guys just go here.

All four members of my family have been regular patients of Dr Rubin's for many-many years and not one of us has any desire or reason to change a good thing. Dr. Rubin is very personable, professional and so is his very excellent staff. Having just visited his office in Wantagh for my annual exam - I was greeted by his staff and immediately brought into the exam room and greeted by Dr. Rubin - NO WAITING!. I was given a thorough caring exam and Dr. Rubin responded to any and all questions I had. We discussed options and he listen to my concerns regarding new eye ware. His staff then helped me pick

Thank you Dr. Rubin and your staff. As always, for the many years you have been my eye Dr., I have nothing but wonderful things to say about you and your office. Thank you for seeing me while I was up for a visit from Charleston SC, on such a quick notice. It was a tear in my contact and you fit me in and I truly appreciate you seeing me today. Jill didn't want to take the chance that I was having an eye problem and wouldn't let me leave without you checking. Thank you so much for caring! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I will see you again soon.

My daughter and I went as new patients. The office is clean and comfortable. Both the receptionist and Dr. Rubin were friendly and knowledgeable. The exams we received were extensive. We both were able to find beautiful frames and look forward to getting our new glasses. I highly recommend this office.

Been going to Dr. Rubin for almost 20 years. He never makes you wait. Since going to him, my eye sight has remained the same. You can always trust him when it comes to your eye sight. I wear both contacts and glasses and get 20/20 vision with his help. You never have to wait at his office. He always remembers exactly who you are and always is interested in how you and your family are doing. I wouldn't go see anyone else for my eyes.

Dr Rubin is truly the best eye dr I've been to. I recently started wearing contacts. He was so patient with me during to process of finding the right prescription due to the fact my far vision is great but I can't see well near. I couldn't stand the glasses on my head anymore. We found the right fit and I've been so happy! Today I had to run into his office thinking I had a contact stuck somewhere in my eye. He fit me in and checked my eye, and I must have lost it. He gave me a new contact and didn't even charge me. It pays to go to a real dr and not just anyone. He truly
