Optical shop with eyeglass frames displayed on wall and in glass cases

About Us

At Eyes on Broadway and Eyes on the World, we view optometry not only as a science, but also as an art. Our experienced opticians will help you select frames that fit your features, bringing you the best combination of looks, comfort and optical results. If you need a new prescription, you can schedule a convenient appointment with one of our eye doctors.

The history of our optical shops

We’ve been in business for more than 50 years, starting with The Eye Shop in Greenwich Village, which served the neighborhood until 2017. Our second shop, Eyes on the World, took its name from its location in the World Trade Center, which was a brand new building when we opened there in the mid-1970’s. We closed that location when our lease expired in early 2001.

Eyes on Broadway

Eyes on Broadway opened in NoHo in 1995, specializing in the latest designers and fashion trends.

Eyes on the World

In 1997, Eyes on the World opened on Lexington Avenue in Midtown East, and this location offers both innovative designs and more conservative styles.
