Why didn't I come here sooner? Just purchased 3 pairs of frames - it is incredibly difficult to find smaller frames for a narrow face and very myopic (near sighted, thicker lenses even in hi index). Sturdy frames, lots of choices in classic styles. Contemporary and affordable sunshade clip-ons which fit many frames! At 6th Ave, was greeted warmly and immediately Julie C. was on the right track with styles that fit perfectly and have wider rims for myopic thicker lenses. Funky and functional. No pressure just excellent advice and plenty of time allowed for decision making. At Moscot, It&apos

A friend of mine from New York recommended Moscot and I was delighted to see they recently opened a store here. Purchased a set of new reading glasses here and had a far more extensive eye test than at Ace & Tate including a glaucoma test. Service was impeccable. Yes, you'll end up paying more but the quality is visibly superior.

Cheapest pair of glasses I have ever got. I feel ripped off paying over $300 for glasses that won't even last a year. The frames get loose easily and the paint.... it's so horrible coating material that peels away. I honestly feel it's a waste of money spending any money on their glasses. Better have a second pair back up that's not moscot because your glasses will be breaking soon

I have discovered Moscot back in 2015 in New York and always followed this brand on social networks until they magically appears in de 9 straatjes in Amsterdam. A neighbourhood that perfectly matches the heritage and elegancy of the brand. Despite the small size of the shop, you will find everything you need about glasses. And if you do not by your own, the professional, user friendly staff will make sure you do.

Jose is the man--super friendly and helpful. Really appreciate his help picking out a pair of clip-on sunglass lenses. Helped me try on different styles and sizes without pressuring me to impulse buy anything. This store has a huge selection, so I appreciated his guidance. Bought the clip-ons and will definitely be back to buy a pair of frames from him. Give him a raise!

About 8 months after buying my glasses, the frames cracked and broke off at the nosepiece. I walked in with the broken glasses and after about 15 minutes I walked out with the lenses in new, identical frames: no charges, no fuss, no guilt :)
Ok, my just overdue yearly follow up went even better! Dr Chang is the equal of her amazing colleague, the staff remembered me, and they didn't pressure me to get new glasses since my prescription hasn't changed significantly.
Here, I've made this helpful visual to show you why you should go to a MOSCOT!

Great store. Their glasses are great, the staff is really friendly and helpful and their optometrists are terrific. I never thought getting glasses would be so much fun.
My eyes are very different and they really took the time to get my prescription just right. Since then whenever I needed help with something - eye issue, running low on contacts, whatever - they're on it right away with a smile and a genuine desire to be helpful.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome by Jose. I needed my Krewe sunglasses tightened which he was able to do after of course informing about the stipulations of fixing third party glasses if anything were to go wrong. He took special care with them and adjusted them until they both were a perfect fit. This was the first time that I was ever serviced with such attention to detail when it comes to tightening my glasses. Jose is definitely skilled and passionate about glasses. I'm grateful for his expertise!

Let me start by saying I own/have owned 6 different pairs of Moscot frames. The Yukel and Nebb are two of my favorite pair of glasses I have ever owned, and that's saying a lot as a bonafide eyewear addict and lover.
In May, I purchased a new pair of Nebb frames. After less than a month of wear, they developed greasy looking spots (on a matte black frame = super noticeable). I cleaned them with everything (safe) imaginable, and even had an optical lab try to remove the stains -- to no avail. Thus I reached out to Moscot for help.
For one, their customer service person was abysmal, and required

The hubby was having a hard time finding a place to properly test his eyes and give him the right prescription - that is until he went to Moscot!
They tested his eyes, properly assessed his vision, had a great selection of frames and filled his prescription very quickly.
He is seeing clearer than he has in a very long time and his frames are good quality and fashionable.
We will definitely come back to Moscot!

I visited MOSCOT's new 6th Ave location right before XMas 2018. I was immediately approached by JUSTIN.
My wife, who was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, inadvertently laid on her glasses while in the hospital. Her frames were loose and bent.
JUSTIN spent about 25 minutes with the frames on these glasses NOT purchased at MOSCOT.
JUSTIN was able to repair the glasses to brand new!
He refused to take any money for the Repairs.....instead, shaking my hand and wishing my wife a speedy recovery!!
Impressive to say the least.
I am now a lifelong customer of MASCOT. What a Great company who

Their new location on 6th Ave was open for about 6 weeks before I went in on a Tuesday morning around 11:30. I walked in and the store was empty except for me. I saw 3 employees sitting in the center doing nothing but looking at a 4th person who was on the phone and perhaps was the manager.
Nobody said hello. Nobody stood up at ask if I needed help. Nobody cared enough to even try. I walked around and tried on frames. Each frame had a massive security device to stop theft. I couldn't even try on frames with this silver dollar sized device on the frame weighing it down.

This happened years ago. I don't review much, and when I do, I prefer to be positive. However, this incident has always bothered me so here goes...
I really wanted to go to Moscot and get eyeglasses. I grew up seeing the eyeglass sign on the LES when I was a kid going to Orchard St with my family. A couple years back, when the old-fashioned heavy style of glasses came back, I really wanted to get it from them. I tried going downtown, couldn't get help. Weeks later, I went up the steps to the store on 6th ave. It was near empty, I still remember the young family there that an associate

I bought my pair of Lemtosh glasses about a year prior to writing this review and that experience was fine.
What's really pushed me to write a review of this store is what they did when my frames actually snapped in half.
I wrote an email to Moscot customer service about my frames in anticipation that I would have to buy a new frame or pay for a repair. They replied the same day saying that they had arranged for a new frame front to be delivered to the store later in the week.
So a couple of days later I go into the store and they already have my frame front ready-to-go.
To my surprise

Beautiful store and amazing style! This is by far the best glasses-buying experience I've ever had. I was so ready to move on from Warby Parker - and have always hated going into boring eyewear shops with their crappy overhead lighting. Going into Moscot you feel a sense of history and an artsy ambience that really puts you at ease, and their staff is very friendly and not at all pushy - Brett & Jose are simply great at their jobs. I ended up getting Vildas, which are my favorite glasses I've ever had - and that's coming from someone who's worn glasses for 20+ years!

I have been going to Sol Moscot for many years now.
The manager Arthur is always so patient and helpful, he always helps me pick out a frame that fits my face perfectly.
Everyone there is polite and helpful and I like that they accept VSP. The thing I like most is that they have this machine called The Optomap® Retinal Scan, that takes a picture of your eyes instead of having them dilated. It costs $ that is not covered by VSP but you can use flex pay. Totally worth it. I would rather get my eyes scanned than walk around for a few hours with my eyes going in and out of focus.

In a word: AMAZING. As soon as I walked in, I had no doubt that I would be well cared for here!
I went in for an eye exam with Dr. Rogerson + to get new prescription glasses. She was the most attentive and patient optometrist, thoroughly explained details and took me step by step through the process.
Jessie & Allison up front were extremely friendly and kind. Salesperson was very patient as I tried on various frames and offered wonderful recommendations to complement my face; also got to use their side-by-side camera to check out what the frames look like - since I can't see without
