“So, I have been having trouble seeing lately and went to my Eye Dr. who confirmed that my already horrible eyesight got worse. My Doc’s office sells glasses, but I really wanted to find a place that is open on weekends just in case I need an adjustment or my glasses break. So, I have passed by this place near my office quite a few times and decided to try it out.
The woman behind the counter (Anita) was great. She took into consideration that I have a wicked strong prescription and helped me pick out glasses that would minimize the look of the thick lenses. She also helped straighten out an insurance issue I have with VSP (my eyeglass insurance plan). After about 4 days, I got the call that the glasses were ready and now I can see clearly again and I am very happy.
Go check them out of you need a new pair. They have lots to choose from and Anita has a good eye for what looks good.”

“Great guys. Glasses got unhinged and they were quick to find the right tiny screwdriver to put my glasses together! And it was free, even when I offered to pay!”

“This place is great. I have the world’s most confusing insurance (VSP) which will only pay for either glasses or contacts. The people that work here took the time to price out the really complicated options and figure out which would be cheapest for me to pay out of pocket, and which to use my insurance for. When I told them that I had found contacts for cheap online, they still gave me a rebate form to try and use with them – really nice, since I wasn’t even buying them through them. They have pretty late appointments, and I showed up at 6PM for my 6:30PM appt and they took me right away – no waiting. I ordered glasses through them, and they were ready a few days later. Great service and everyone that works there is really nice!”

“At the risk of seeming given to hyperbole, I LOVE this place. I came here after a disappointing 3-week saga with Cohen’s optical on 2nd and St. Marks (hated it) and Eyes on Broadway got my prescription sunglasses to me within 4 business days. They were attentive and totally not pushy. They asked what I wanted to spend and showed me options in that range. They gave me a good discount on the whole shebang and called me promptly when the glasses arrived. They are a small shop with a surprisingly complete selection of eyewear. I’m a budget shopper and felt very pleased with my experience.”

“I love this store. Just recently discovered them and couldn’t be happier. Went in on a whim as I had looked in chain stores and wasn’t happy with the selections and/or service. Had a clear idea of what I was looking for and when I arrived at Eyes on Broadway I was very surprised at how large their selection was. They helped me look at the frames that fit the shape in what I was looking for. Easily looked at 10-15 pairs and they kept pulling options until I said I love these two. Very honest sales person and gave their opinion on what they thought looked great for my face. They definitely have my business from now on!!
Did I mention they can do same day service?!?!? Many of the other stores have a 2 week wait time. Let’s be serious people we live in NYC and ”

“I have been a customer at this establishment for more than 25 years. I return over and over again because the quality of their products and excellent service is exemplary. If you demand only the best, this is the place for you to shop. And, the people who work there are helpful and nice, to boot!”

“I was visiting New York from Bermuda in 1999 and popped into Eyes on Broadway to get some contact lenses. Barry took great care of me and since then, everytime I needed glasses, an eye exam or contact lenses, I have gone to Eyes on Broadway. Numerous family members and friends now do as well. I live in New York now and just bought a fantastic new pair of Oliver People’s glasses with progressive lenses from them. When buying good sunglasses for my three year old son anywhere in the city was proving unsuccessful, Barry referred me to a great internet site. Eyes on Broadway simply cares about your eyes. Go there. Fast, reliable, friendly and cost effective.”
Kees V. – Manhattan, NY
“Eyes on Broadway is a friendly, intimate eye care provider where you receive personal attention. It’s the “Cheers” of opticians, everyone knows your name. Barry will give you good advice, I absolutely love the eyeglass frames he recommended. Their prices are competitive, they will work with you. Give them a try. They also had a great selection of sunglasses, bought that too!”
Elissa S. – Manhattan, NY
“I bought a pair of frameless Lindbergs here over three years ago and whenever I walk by Barry is happy to adjust them if needed or replace any component without question or delay – the great customer service keeps me coming back for an annual pair of sunglasses. The eyeglasses are indestructible and so well-maintained they’ll probably last forever.”
Wendy B. – Brooklyn, NY
“I live in California, but was in NYC when my glasses broke… Barry fixed them as best he could with no charge!Happy, I started looking around, and with Chris’s help found a pair of new glasses. But, it had been a while since my last eye exam, so Dr. Kay gave me a comprehensive exam right then and there. The entire team went above and beyond in helping me select the perfect pair, getting the right lenses, and getting the whole package put together with amazing speed and professionalism. I’ll probably come back here next time I need glasses (either by mail or in person), and since I live on the other coast, that’s saying something!”
Rob H. – Mill Valley, CA
“Although I don’t live in NYC, but Eyes is the only place I go for sunglasses. (A friend of mine suggested them) I’m super picky, but their staff does a great job of helping me find what I want. They have stylish frames and good prices. Great family run store that always shows the same attentiveness.”
Mich S. – Huntington Station, NY
“An excellent array of glasses for such a teeny tiny store! they can special order frames for you if you want, and the employees are friendly and accomodating, without being overbearing or pushy. prices are your standard nice-glasses price–esp. considering the locale–and a great place overall to get a nice new pair of some funky fresh specs.”
Emmy F. – Brooklyn, NY
“I already had frames, and a lot of shops give you less attention if you’re only getting the lenses, but these guys gave me great service. The eye exam was professional and comfortable. The salesman was exceptional and helped me stay within my budget. Finally, they told me that my glasses were going to be ready in a few hours. I got on my bike , and by the time I made it around the block, they called and told me they were ready! Amazing service. I recommend this place to anyone!”
Elizabeth G. – Brooklyn, NY
“This is the only place that I’ll go to get glasses in the city! About a year ago, I figured it was time to grow up and throw out my Costco glasses and get a real pair. I headed to Eyes on Broadway (because it’s close to where I work) and they helped me find exactly what I wanted! I knew that I wanted something new, but wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted. The sales person was able to reccomend frames that fit well with my face type, and showed me things that I would never pick out myself, but ended up looking great! I finally settled on a pair, and because I didn’t have the money right then and there, they allowed me to put the glasses on lay away. Now, I’m the type of person who generally lives paycheck to paycheck, so it took a little while to save up the money, but they were perfectly happy to work with me, and held onto the glasses for me until I had all the money. The person who gave me my eye exam was friendly and professional, and my lenses were put into my frames in no time at all. I walked out happy with both the experience and my new glasses. It’s about time for me to get a new pair now, and you won’t find me looking anywhere else!”
