Independent optical care in New York — comprehensive eye exams, precision lenses, and a frame collection chosen one pair at a time.

A small shop that takes your eyes seriously

Unique Optique is an independent optical boutique in New York. We do the exam, cut the lenses, fit the frame, and adjust it as long as you own it — all in one room, by the same people. Nothing here is chosen by a buying committee.

Not sure where to start?

Book the exam first — the prescription decides half the frame conversation anyway.

Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are best for exams; frame browsing and adjustments are walk-in.
How long does an eye exam take?
About 30 minutes, a little longer for a first contact lens fitting.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major vision plans. Call with your card and we'll confirm before your visit.
Can I bring my own prescription?
Yes. Bring a current prescription and we'll fit and cut lenses for any frame we carry.
How long until my glasses are ready?
Most single-vision jobs in about a week; specialty lenses can take longer.
Do you repair glasses you didn't sell?
Usually yes, if the parts exist. Bring them in and we'll take a look.
