PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Sit with us and find the pair.
We'd rather give you our full attention than half of it. Make an appointment and one of our opticians will sit with you until the frame is right — email or call to set it up.
Thank you,
— Anthony Aiden

ALL SERVICES →Since 1989 we've been New York City's premiere optical shop for designer prescription glasses and sunglasses — the shop that brought high-end eyewear to the forefront of fashion and introduced the East Village to Jacques Marie Mage, Blake Kuwahara, Oliver Peoples, Tom Ford, Dita, Ic! Berlin, Barton Perreira, Bevel, and Thom Browne.
We also carry more competitively priced lines you already love — Modo, Intrigue, Ray-Ban — plus children's glasses, so there's something here for most anyone.
Our licensed opticians and stylists walk you through choosing a frame and a lens, and our board-certified optometrists handle the exam side. We stock the highest-quality lenses on the market and will happily suggest something that meets your budget. Come in for a consultation, or just come in and try the selection — the Zagat Ratings Guide named us for our "no pressure" sales. Trying on glasses is easy; unlike clothes, nothing has to come off.
