“Highly efficient but took the time to measure out progressive lens to fit my eyes. Good selection of frames. ”

“From the moment I walked in I had a great experience. The staff was super nice and friendly. The doctor listened to my concerns and did a thorough eye exam. They didn’t have the contacts for me to try so the office at Grand Central sent over what I needed! The guy at the front desk even looked up my contacts on 1-800-Contacts to show me my savings if I bought through the office, so I did. Would highly recommend this place! ”
